Effects of urban development on floods in northern Virginia
Daniel G. Anderson
1970, Water Supply Paper 2001-C
Graphical and mathematical relations are presented to estimate the flood-peak magnitudes having recurrence intervals ranging up to 100 years for drainage basins with various degrees of urban or suburban development. Five independent variables are required for use of the relations. They are the size, length, and slope of the basin,...
Floods of December 1966 in southwestern Utah
Elmer Butler, J. C. Mundorff
1970, Water Supply Paper 1870-A
Severe floods occurred in parts of southwestern Utah on December 5-6, 1966, as a result of precipitation of about 1 inch to more than 12 inches during December 3-6. The flood on the Virgin River was the greatest since the first settlers arrived in 1860.The peak discharge of the Virgin...
Hydrologic effects of floodwater-retarding structures on Garza-Little Elm Reservoir, Texas
Clarence R. Gilbert, Stanley P. Sauer
1970, Water Supply Paper 1984
The Texas District of the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey has collected and analyzed hydrologic data since 1953 to define the effects of systems of floodwater-retarding structures on downstream water and sediment yield. The district project includes 11 study areas ranging from 18 to 80 square miles...
Study and interpretation of the chemical characteristics of natural water
John David Hem
1970, Water Supply Paper 1473
The chemical composition of natural water is derived from many different sources of solutes, including gases and aerosols from the atmosphere, weathering and erosion of rocks and soil, solution or precipitation reactions occurring below the land surface, and cultural effects resulting from activities of man. Some of the processes of...

Summary of floods in the United States during 1964
J.O. Rostvedt
1970, Water Supply Paper 1840-C
This report describes the most outstanding floods in the United States during 1984. The four most damaging floods during the year were in December in the Far Western States, in March along the Ohio River, in September in central and northern Florida and southern Georgia, and in June in northwestern...
Streamflow from the United States into the Atlantic Ocean during 1931-1960
Conrad D. Bue
1970, Water Supply Paper 1899-I
Streamflow from the United States into the Atlantic Ocean, between the international stream St. Croix River, inclusive, and Cape Sable, Fla., averaged about 355,000 cfs (cubic feet per second) during the 30-year period 1931-60, or roughly 20 percent of the water that, on the average flows out of the conterminous...

Ground-water resources of the Clatsop Plains sand-dune area, Clatsop County, Oregon
F. J. Frank
1970, Water Supply Paper 1899-A
Although the average annual precipitation of the Clatsop Plains is 78.5 inches, the area is not without problems of water supply. The Clatsop Plains area ix underlain by Tertiary bedrock of low permeability that stores and yields small quantities of ground water, which may be of poor chemical quality. This...

Mean annual runoff as related to channel geometry of selected streams in California
E. R. Hedman
1970, Water Supply Paper 1999-E
The channel geometry of 48 gaged streams in California where mean annual runoff is known was studied in 1967 and 1968. The analyses show that the mean annual runoff is related to selected dimensions of channel geometry. The width and the average depth of the cross section between bars or...

The lower Henrys Fork region in eastern Idaho includes the plains and low benches between Ashton and the junction of Henrys Fork and Snake River. The northwestern and western parts of the area are part of the Snake River basalt plain. The central part of the area is occupied by...
An appraisal of ground water for irrigation in the Wadena area, central Minnesota
F.G. Lindholm
1970, Water Supply Paper 1983
The Wadena area is part of a large sandy plain in central Minnesota whose soils have low water-holding capacity. Drought conditions which adversely affect plant growth frequently occur in the summer when moisture is most needed. To reduce the risk of crop failure in the area supplemental irrigation is on...

1970, Water Supply Paper 1990
Artificial ground-water recharge has become more important as water use by agriculture, industry, and municipalities increases. Water management agencies are increasingly interested in potential use of recharge for pollution abatement, waste-water disposal, and re-use and reclamation of locally available supplies. Research projects and theoretical analyses of operational recharge systems show...
