A procedure for evaluating environmental impact
Luna Bergere Leopold, Frank Eldridge Clarke, Bruce B. Hanshaw, James R. Balsley
1971, Circular 645
In a recent article in "Science" discussing the Environmental Policy Act of 1969, Gillette (1971) states "The law's instructions for preparing an impact report apparently are not specific enough to insure that an agency will fully, or even usefully, examine the environmental effects of the projects it plans." This report...
The national hydrologic bench-mark network
Ernest D. Cobb, J.E. Biesecker
1971, Circular 460-D
The United States is undergoing a dramatic growth of population and demands on its natural resources. The effects are widespread and often produce significant alterations of the environment. The hydrologic bench-mark network was established to provide data on stream basins which are little affected by these changes. The network is...
Reconnaissance of selected minor elements in surface waters of the United States, October 1970
W. H. Durum, John David Hem, Sumner Griggs Heidel
1971, Circular 643
A nationwide reconnaissance of selected minor elements in water resources of the 50 States and Puerto Rico was made by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife during autumn, 1970. Initiated in response to the growing need for data on minor elements...
Real-estate lakes
David A. Rickert, Andrew Maute Spieker
1971, Circular 601-G
Since the dawn of civilization waterfront land has been an irresistible attraction to man. Throughout history he has sought out locations fronting on oceans, rivers, and lakes. Originally sought for proximity .to water supply and transportation, such locations are now sought more for their esthetic qualities and for recreation. Usable...
Application of borehole geophysics to water-resources investigations
W.S. Keys, L.M. MacCary
1971, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 02-E1
This manual is intended to be a guide for hydrologists using borehole geophysics in ground-water studies. The emphasis is on the application and interpretation of geophysical well logs, and not on the operation of a logger. It describes in detail those logging techniques that have been utilized within the Water...

Thomas H. Woodard
1971, Water Supply Paper 1895-A
This report summarizes stream-temperature data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the State of North Carolina during the period 1943-67. Listed in two tables are summary values determined from records from 176 locations throughout the State. Of the 850 station years of record, 31 percent is monthly...
Analysis of stream-temperature variations in the Upper Delaware River Basin, New York
Owen O. Williams
1971, Water Supply Paper 1999-K
The effect of climatologic conditions and reservoir releases on downstream conditions was determined by means of statistical and graphical analyses of stream-temperature variations measured in the upper Delaware River basin, May-September 1964-67. Climatologic conditions normally increase water temperatures from February through July and decrease them from August through January. Summer...

Streamflow, sediment-transport, and water-temperature characteristics of the three small watersheds in the Alsea River basin, Oregon
David Dell Harris, Robert Charles Williams
1971, Circular 642
Data collected during the prelogging period 1959-65 indicate an average annual runoff for Needle Branch and Deer and Flynn Creeks of 74.2, 75.1, and 77.7 inches, respectively. The measured precipitation at Flynn Creek of 92.9 inches was 5 inches less than at either Needle Branch or Deer Creek. Unit flood...
Determination of minor elements in water by emission spectroscopy
Paul R. Barnett, E. C. Mallory
1971, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 05-A2
With the emission spectrograph, the analyst is able to determine many minor elements simultaneously in water samples. Spectrographic methods differ chiefly in techniques of preconcentrating the elements. For waters with dissolved solids of less than 1,000 milligrams per liter, the method of evaporating to dryness and determining the elements in...

A. O. Waananen, D.D. Harris, R.C. Williams
1971, Water Supply Paper 1866-A
The floods of December 1964 and January 1965 in the Far Western States were extreme; in many areas, the greatest in the history of recorded streamflow and substantially greater than those of December 1955. An unusually large area--Oregon, most of Idaho, northern California, southern Washington, and small areas in western...
