Water resources of Wisconsin: Menominee-Oconto-Peshtigo River basin
Edward L. Oakes, Louis J. Hamilton
1973, Hydrologic Atlas 470
The purpose of this report is to describe the water resources of the Menominee-Oconto - Peshtigo River basin in Wisconsin in order to aid in planning future water management in the basin and in nearby areas. The physical setting, availability, distribution, movement, quality, and use of water are discussed. The report...
Effects of the May 5-6, 1973, storm in the Greater Denver area, Colorado
Wallace R. Hansen
1973, Circular 689
Rain began falling on the Greater Denver area the evening of Saturday, May 5, 1973, and continued through most of Sunday, May 6. Below about 7,000 feet altitude, the precipitation was mostly rain; above that altitude, it was mostly snow. Although the rate of fall was moderate, at least 4...
Availability of water from limestone and dolomite aquifers in southwest Ohio and the relation of water quality to the regional flow system
Stanley Eugene Norris, Richard E. Fidler
1973, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-17
The largest ground-water supplies from the 150 to 450-foot thick carbonate-rock aquifer in southwest Ohio are available in a 2,800 squaremile area on the crest and eastern flank of the Cincinnati arch. Well production in the high-yield area is mainly from the Newburg zone, a permeable stratum in the lower...
Effects of Urbanization on Floods in the Houston, Texas Metropolitan Area
Steven L. Johnson, Douglas M. Sayre
1973, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-3
Rainfall and runoff data from drainage basins in the Houston metropolitan area and a 60-year rainfall record for the National Weather Service station, Houston-City, were used to simulate 60 annual flood peaks at 26 sites. Selected frequency characteristics, based on these simulated annual peaks, are related to drainage area and...
Regional analyses of streamflow characteristics
H. C. Riggs
1973, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 04-B3
This manual describes various ways of generalizing streamflow characteristics and evaluates the applicability and reliability of each under various hydrologic conditions. Several alternatives to regionalization are briefly described....
Geology and quality of water in the Modesto-Merced area, San Joaquin Valley, California, with a brief section on hydrology
R. W. Page, Gary O. Balding
1973, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-6
The Modesto-Merced area includes about 1,800 square miles on the northeast side of the San Joaquin Valley. The physiographic units in the area are (1) Sierra Nevada, (2) dissected uplands, (3) low alluvial plains and fans, (4) river flood plains and channels, and (5) overflow lands.Geologic units consist of consolidated...
Water facts and figures for planners and managers
John Henry Frederick Feth
1973, Circular 601-I
Water is defined in terms of its chemical composition and dominant physical properties, such as expansion on freezing and high surface tension. Water on the earth is about 97 percent in the seas, 2 percent in glacier ice, principally Greenland and Antarctica. Man is left with less than 1 percent...
United States Geological Survey Alaska program, 1973
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1973, Circular 683
This report on the Alaskan activities of the U.S. Geological Survey contains up-to-date accounts of recent results and summaries of plans for the summer of 1973. It is organized in six parts: (1) responsibilities and services of the Geological Survey; (2) organization of the U.S. Geological Survey; (3) Alaskan field...
