Floods of February 1962 in southern Idaho and northeastern Nevada
Cecil Albert Thomas, Robert D. Lamke
1962, Circular 467
The floods of February 10-15, 1969., were the highest known on many streams in southern Idaho and northeastern Nevada. Some of the peak discharges have recurrence intervals greater than a hundred years. The floods resulted from an unusual combination of conditions, each of which contributed to the sudden severe flooding....
Floods of December 1961 in Mississippi and adjoining states
James D. Shell
1962, Circular 465
Widespread floods occurred over parts of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama after heavy rains during December 18, 1961. A series of low-pressure systems produced as much as 19 inches of rainfall in some areas. Heavy rainfall, 7 to 11 inches, on December 10 resulted in outstanding floods on small streams in...
Floods in New Mexico, magnitude and frequency
Leon A. Wiard
1962, Circular 464
This report presents a method of determining the magnitude and frequency of floods that can be expected in New Mexico The discharge of the mean annual flood for various regions in the State is defined. Curves relate mean annual flood and drainage area. Drainage area was the only basin characteristic...
An application of thermometry to the study of ground water
Robert Schneider
1962, Water Supply Paper 1544-B
Except for studies of temperature data related to ground-water developments that induce infiltration from streams, little attention has been given to the possibility of using temperature fluctuations as a tool for studying the elements of the hydrologic cycle involving ground water. The temperature of the water discharged from large installations that...
Flow through openings in width constrictions
Jacob Davidian, P.H. Carrigan Jr., John Shen
1962, Water Supply Paper 1369-D
A highway embankment across a stream channel may have one or several bridge openings. In 1953, the pattern of flow through a single opening was quantitatively described by C. E. Kindsvater, R. W. Carter, and H. J. Tracy. The present investigation of the flow pattern at constrictions with two to...
Methods of measuring soil moisture in the field
A.I. Johnson
1962, Water Supply Paper 1619-U
For centuries, the amount of moisture in the soil has been of interest in agriculture. The subject of soil moisture is also of great importance to the hydrologist, forester, and soils engineer. Much equipment and many methods have been developed to measure soil moisture under field conditions. This report discusses...
Ground-water provinces of Brazil
Robert Schneider
1962, Water Supply Paper 1663-A
As part of a study of the status of investigations and development of ground water in Brazil, made under the auspices of the United States International Cooperation Administration and with the cooperation of the Government of Brazil, the country was divided into seven ground-water provinces. The identification and delineation of...
A formula for computing transmissibility causing maximum possible drawdown due to pumping
G.M. Robinson, Herbert E. Skibitzke
1962, Water Supply Paper 1536-F
By modifying the Theis nonequilibrium formula a relation is found in which the maximum possible drawdown is expressed in terms of a unique value for the aquifer coefficient of transmissibility. The relation is valid for any specified period and rate of pumping, for a given aquifer coefficient of storage, and...
Data on uranium and radium in ground water in the United States, 1954 to 1957
R. C. Scott, F. B. Barker
1962, Professional Paper 426
This report is one of a series resulting from a study by the U.S. Geological Survey to determine the occurrence and distribution of naturally radioactive substances in water. From 1954-57 uranium and radium concentrations were determined in 561 samples, mainly of ground water, having wide geologic and geographic distribution. These...
