Magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States: Part 10. The Great Basin
E. Butler, J.K. Reid, V.K. Berwick
1966, Water Supply Paper 1684
The probable magnitude of floods of any recurrence interval between 1.1 and 50 years for any stream in the Great Basin can be determined by methods presented in this report.The Great Basin comprises nearly all of Nevada, western Utah, eastern California, and parts of Idaho, Oregon, and Wyoming. The physiography...
Effect of vertical motion on current meters
Nicholas A. Kallio
1966, Water Supply Paper 1869-B
The effect of vertical motion on the performance of current meters at various stream velocities was evaluated to determine whether accurate discharge measurements can be made from a bobbing boat. Three types of current meters--Ott, Price, and vane types--were tested under conditions simulating a bobbing boat. A known frequency and...
Ground-Water Geology and Hydrology of the Kern River Alluvial-Fan Area, California
R. H. Dale, James J. French, G. V. Gordon
1966, Open-File Report 66-21
The Kern River alluvial fan is the southernmost major alluvial fan built by the streams which drain the west side of the Sierra Nevada. The climate is semiarid with rainfall near 5 inches per year. Agricultural development within the area uses over half the 700,000 acre-feet per year flow of...
Ground-water resources of Sheridan County, Wyoming
Marlin E. Lowry, T. Ray Cummings
1966, Water Supply Paper 1807
Sheridan County is in the north-central part of Wyoming and is an area of about 2,500 square miles. The western part of the county is in the Bighorn Mountains, and the eastern part is in the Powder River structural basin. Principal streams are the Powder and Tongue Rivers, which are...
Organic acids in naturally colored surface waters
William L. Lamar, D.F. Goerlitz
1966, Water Supply Paper 1817-A
Most of the organic matter in naturally colored surface waters consists of a mixture of carboxylic acids or salts of these acids. Many of the acids color the water yellow to brown; however, not all of the acids are colored. These acids range from simple to complex, but predominantly they...
Hydrologic reconnaissance of Point Reyes National Seashore area, California
R. H. Dale, S. E. Rantz
1966, Open-File Report 66-22
This report summarizes the results of a hydrologic reconnaissance of the Point Reyes National Seashore area, the primary purpose of which was to appraise potential sources of water supply at park sites where visitor accommodations are proposed. Point Reyes National Seashore is a peninsular area on the California coast about...
Water in the Humboldt River Valley near Winnemucca, Nevada
Philip M. Cohen
1966, Water Supply Paper 1816
Most of the work of the interagency Humboldt River Research Project in the Winnemucca reach of the Humboldt River valley has been completed. More than a dozen State and Federal agencies and several private organizations and individuals participated in the study. The major objective of the project, which began in...
Annual runoff in the conterminous United States
Mark W. Busby
1966, Hydrologic Atlas 212
Runoff is that part of precipitation that appears as a flow of water in surface streams. As a source of water for modern society, it constitutes one of our basic renewable resources. This map of average annual runoff portrays the latest information on the geographic distribution of the average runoff...
Evaporation study in a humid region, Lake Michie, North Carolina
J.F. Turner Jr.
1966, Professional Paper 272-G
The mass-transfer and water-budget techniques of calibrating a reservoir for evaporation were evaluated through a study of Lake Michie, N.C. The techniques appear adequate for estimation of lake evaporation and net seepage in humid regions where lake storage is affected by streamflow and ground-water seepage, under conditions no more adverse...
River meanders - Theory of minimum variance
Walter Basil Langbein, Luna Bergere Leopold
1966, Professional Paper 422-H
Meanders are the result of erosion-deposition processes tending toward the most stable form in which the variability of certain essential properties is minimized. This minimization involves the adjustment of the planimetric geometry and the hydraulic factors of depth, velocity, and local slope.The planimetric geometry of a meander is that of...
