Generalized skew coefficient for flood frequency computations for the State of Hawaii
Reuben Lee
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4027
In 1976, the Hydrology Committee of the U.S. Water Resources Council estimated a generalized skew coefficient for flood frequency computations of -0.05 for the State of Hawaii. This value is the average of 30 stream gaging stations with 25 or more years of record through water year 1973. This report...

Map of the Carpinteria area and vicinity, Santa Barbara County, California, showing water-level contours for March 1983 and net change in water level between March 1982 and March 1983
W. R. Moyle Jr.
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4067
A water-level contour map of the Carpinteria area, California, was constructed using 34 water-level measurements made by the Carpinteria County Water District in March 1983. Also shown on the map are five hydrographs that show water-level fluctuations in each well between 1978 and 1983. In addition, a water-level net-change map...

Percentage change in saturated thickness of the High Plains Aquifer, west-central Kansas, 1950 to average 1982-84
Marilyn E. Pabst, Barbara J. Dague
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4357
Continuing studies are being made in west-central Kansas to provide up-to-date information to aid in the management of ground water for irrigation. This report, prepared in cooperation with the Western Kansas Groundwater Management District No. 1, presents the fourth in a series of studies that uses a statistical technique, called...
Identification and tabulation of geological contacts in the Edwards aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas
Ted A. Small
1984, Open-File Report 84-75
Geological contacts were picked on logs of about 480 wells in the San Antonio area of the Edwards aquifer. The base of the Del Rio Clay is the most frequently picked contact because it is the top of the Edwards aquifer and also because it is easily identified on either...
Application of the U.S. Geological Survey's precipitation-runoff modeling system to the Prairie Dog Creek basin, southeastern Montana
L. E. Cary
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4178
The U.S. Geological Survey 's precipitation-runoff modeling system was tested using 2 year 's data for the daily mode and 17 storms for the storm mode from a basin in southeastern Montana. Two hydrologic response unit delineations were studied. The more complex delineation did not provide superior results. In this...
Stratigraphy and structure of the western Kentucky fluorspar district
R. D. Trace, D.H. Amos
1984, Professional Paper 1151-D
The western Kentucky fluorspar district is part of the larger Illinois-Kentucky fluorspar district, the largest producer of fluorspar in the United States. This report is based largely on data gathered from 1960 to 1974 during the U.S. Geological Survey-Kentucky Geological Survey cooperative geologic mapping program of Kentucky. It deals chiefly...

Techniques for estimating flood hydrographs for ungaged urban watersheds
V.A. Stricker, V.B. Sauer
1984, Open-File Report 82-365
The Clark Method, modified slightly was used to develop a synthetic, dimensionless hydrograph which can be used to estimate flood hydrographs for ungaged urban watersheds. Application of the technique results in a typical (average) flood hydrograph for a given peak discharge. Input necessary to apply the technique is an estimate...
