Flow routing in the Susquehanna River Basin: Part I - Effects of Raystown Lake on the low-flow frequency characteristics of the Juniata and lower Susquehanna Rivers, Pennsylvania
Jeffrey T. Armbruster
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-12
A flow-routing model was used to simulate 17 water years of daily streamflows at five sites. The sites were Mapleton Depot and Newport, Pennsylvania, on the Juniata River, and Harrisburg and Marietta, Pennsylvania, and Conowingo, Maryland, on the Susquehanna River. The purpose for the simulations was to determine the effects...

Geochemistry of the Mattole River in Northern California
Vance C. Kennedy, Ronald L. Malcolm
1977, Open-File Report 78-205
The chemical composition of streams can vary greatly with changing discharge during storm runoff. These chemical changes are related to the pathways of various water parcels from the time they fall as rain until they enter the stream, and to the interactions between water and sediment during transport downstream. In...
Hydrologic data for North Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1975

1977, Open-File Report 76-724
This report contains the rainfall, runoff, and storage data collected during the 1975 water year for the 21.6-square-mile area above the stream-gaging station North Creek near Jacksboro, Texas. The weighted-mean rainfall in the study area during the water year was 39.01 inches, which is greater than the 18-year average of...
Progress report to the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Commission for year ending September 30, 1977
Marion S. Hines
1977, Open-File Report 77-846
The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Commission and the U.S. Geological Survey have a mutual interest in flood-frequency and open-channel hydraulics for the economic design of bridges and culverts. This report is a summary of the accomplishments of the cooperative program. Included are plans for future work and a brief...
Energy development scenarios and water demands and supplies: an overview
F. A. Kilpatrick
1977, Open-File Report 77-697
On the basis of average mean annual flows, ample water exists in the upper Missouri River basin for energy development. The lack of storage and diversion works upstream as well as State compacts preclude the ready use of this surplus water. These surplus flows are impounded in mainstream reservoirs on...
Effects of off-road vehicles on vertebrates in the California desert
R. Bruce Bury, Roger A. Luckenbach, Stephen D. Busack
1977, Wildlife Research Report 8
Off-road vehicle (ORV) use provides a form of outdoor recreation that is increasingly popular. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of these machines on creosote shrub habitat and associated wildlife in the western California Desert. Comparisons at eight paired sites (Control and ORV use) demonstrate that...
Map showing general chemical quality of ground water in the Kaiparowits coal-basin area, Utah
Don Price
1977, IMAP 1033-A
This is one of a series of maps that describe the geology and related natural resources in the Kaiparowits coal-basin area. Chemical analyses of water from about 40 widely scattered springs, 20 coal-exploration holes in the Kaiparowits Plateau, and 7 water wells in the vicinity of the communities of Escalante...

Linear-traverse surveys of helium and radon in soil gas as a guide for uranium exploration, central Weld County, Colorado
G. Michael Reimer, R.S. Rice
1977, Open-File Report 77-589
Linear-traverse surveys of helium and radon in soil gas were performed and evaluated as a guide for uranium exploration in central Weld County, Colo. Repeated sampling over a 5-month period eventually delineated a helium anomaly along the main 11.2 km traverse, and that anomaly may be related to a uranium...
