Discharge characteristics of embankment-shaped weirs
Carl E. Kindsvater
1964, Water Supply Paper 1617-A
An embankment-shaped weir is an embankment overtopped by flood waters. Among the engineering problems frequently resulting from. this occurrence is the need to compute the peak discharge from postflood yield observations. The research described in this. report was concerned with the theoretical and experimental bases for the computation procedure. The...
The effect of artesian-pressure decline on confined aquifer systems and its relation to land subsidence
J. H. Green
1964, Water Supply Paper 1779-T
Ground water in the Southwestern United States is derived chiefly from unconsolidated to semiconsolidated alluvial deposits. Where these deposits contain confined water, they may be susceptible to compaction and related land- surface subsidence, if artesian pressures are reduced. Compaction of artesian-aquifer systems can be estimated from core tests if the...
