Ponding-test procedure for assessing the infiltration capacity of storm-water basins, Nassau County, New York
Robert C. Prill, David A. Aronson
1978, Water Supply Paper 2049
A procedure to obtain field data for assessing performance of storm-water basins having high infiltration rates is described. The basin selected is divided into test plots, and treated municipal water from a fire hydrant is ponded to the desired depth so that infiltration rates and flow patterns in the unsaturated...

Program for evaluating stream quality in North Carolina
Hugh B. Wilder, Clyde E. Simmons
1978, Circular 764
The design and objectives of the program for evaluating stream quality in North Carolina are described. Using water-quality and streamflow data collected since the 1940's, a study is underway to define certain variations in water quality, to quantify the effects of man 's activities on water quality, and to determine...
The case of the shrinking channels; the North Platte and Platte rivers in Nebraska
Garnett P. Williams
1978, Circular 781
Since the latter part of the 19th century, channels of North Platte and Platte Rivers in western and central Nebraska have changed considerably. In the 365-km reach from Minatare to Overton, the channel by 2969 ws only about 0.1-0.2 as wide in 1865. The 1969 channel for this reach was...

A ground-water inventory of the Waialua basal-water body, Island of Oahu, Hawaii
Robert H. Dale
1978, Open-File Report 78-24
The Waialua basal-water body underlies an area of about 18 square miles on the north shore of the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The basal-water body is a body of fresh ground water that floats on saline ground water in a highly permeable and porous basaltic aquifer. Inflow to the basal-water...

Dissolved-oxygen depletion and other effects of storing water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Wyoming and Utah
E.L. Bolke
1978, Open-File Report 78-92
The circulation of water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir is caused chiefly by insolation, inflow-outflow relationships, and wind, which is significant due to the geographical location of the reservoir. During 1970-75, there was little annual variation in the thickness, dissolved oxygen, and specific conductance of the hypolimnion near Flaming Gorge Dam....
Hydrologic reconnaissance of the Fish Springs Flat area, Tooele, Juab and Millard counties, Utah
E.L. Bolke, C. T. Sumsion
1978, Open-File Report 78-312
The Fish Springs Flat area includes about 590 square miles (1,530 square kilometers) in western Utah. Total annual precipitation on the area averages about 7 inches (180 millimeters) and totals about 232,000 acre-feet (286 cubic hectometers). Fish Springs Wash is the major drainage in the area; and, along with numerous...

Five-day recorder seismic system
Ed Criley, Jerry P. Eaton, Jim Ellis
1978, Open-File Report 78-266
The 10-day recorder seismic system used by the USGS since 1965 has been modified substantially to improve its dynamic range and frequency response, to decrease its power consumption and physical complexity, and to make its recordings more compatible with other NCER systems to facilitate data processing. The principal changes include:...
