Floods in North Carolina, frequency and magnitude
H. C. Riggs
1955, Open-File Report 55-151
Recorded annual flood stages and discharges at 144 gaging stations are listed. Also included are maximum known flood stages and discharges, both at gaging stations and at miscellaneous sites. Using the annual flood discharge at gaging stations a regional analysis of flood magnitudes and frequencies in the state was made....
Water supplies for irrigation in the Northeast
C.H. Hardison, O. M. Hackett
1955, Open-File Report 55-57
The subject of this paper as given on the program is "Water Supplies for Irrigation in the Northeast." Both surface-water and ground-water resources are discussed, although with somewhat differing approaches. First we discuss the use of streamflow data in estimating the surface-water supplies available for irrigation use. Then we treat...

New storage on Snake River for irrigation use above Milner, Idaho
Lynn Crandall
1955, Open-File Report 55-32
With Palisades reservoir in operation there will be many years when the available water supply on Snake River above Milner will be fully utilized by storage in the then existing reservoirs under their established priority rights. Surplus water spilling to waste in past years is shown by the record of...
Statement on ground water in Connecticut
R.V. Cushman
1955, Open-File Report 55-35
Connecticut has a supply of ground water, most of it of good quality, which is largely undeveloped, and much of which would lend itself to industrial and other uses. Ground water is available in small quantities in nearly all parts of the State, and in moderate to large quantities in...

Extending flood-frequency graphs by comparison with rainfall
W. B. Langbein
1955, Open-File Report 55-90
Flood discharge is the consequence of many contributing hydrologic events which may be presumed to occur fortuitously and independently, such that the probability of a given flood is the product of the probability of each independent contributing event. Of the many factors that lead to a flood, the two most...
Hydraulics of wells
