Sediment discharge in the Santa Clara River Basin, Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, California
Rhea P. Williams
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-78
Sediment data collected in the Santa Clara River basin during the 1967-75 water years were analyzed to determine the particle size and quantity of sediment transported past three gaging stations. The total sediment discharge of the basin, computed from records of Santa Clara River at Montalvo for water years 1968-75,...

Modeling highly transient flow, mass, and heat transport in the Chattahoochee River near Atlanta, Georgia
Harvey E. Jobson, Thomas N. Keefer
1979, Professional Paper 1136
A coupled flow-temperature model has been developed and verified for a 27.9-km reach of the Chattahoochee River between Buford Dam and Norcross, Ga. Flow in this reach of the Chattahoochee is continuous but highly regulated by Buford Dam, a flood-control and hydroelectric facility located near Buford, Ga. Calibration and verification...

Hydrologic and human aspects of the 1976-77 drought
Howard F. Matthai
1979, Professional Paper 1130
The drought of 1976-77 was the most severe in at least 50 years in many parts of the United States. Record low amounts of rainfall, snowfall, and runoff, and increased withdrawals of ground water were prevalent. The use of carry-over storage in reservoirs during 1976 maintained streamflow at near normal...
Regional metamorphism in the Condrey Mountain Quadrangle, north-central Klamath Mountains, California
Preston Enslow Hotz
1979, Professional Paper 1086
A subcircular area of about 650 km 2 in northern California and southwestern Oregon is occupied by rocks of the greenschist metamorphic facies called the Condrey Mountain Schist. This greenschist terrane is bordered on the east and west by rocks belonging to the amphibolite metamorphic facies that structurally overlie and...
A one-dimensional, steady-state, dissolved-oxygen model and waste-load assimilation study for Wildcat Creek, Howard County, Indiana
Charles G. Crawford, William G. Wilber, James G. Peters
1979, Open-File Report 79-1252
The Indiana State Board of Health is developing a water-quality management plan that includes establishing limits for wastewater effluents discharged into Indiana streams. A digital model calibrated to conditions in Wildcat Creek was used to predict alternatives for future waste loadings that would be compatible with Indiana stream water-quality standards...
Potential hazards from floodflows and debris movement in the Furnace Creek area, Death Valley National Monument, California-Nevada
John R. Crippen
1979, Open-File Report 79-991
Death Valley is known as the driest and hottest region in the United States. Despite the aridity of the valley itself, however , very heavy rainfall sometimes occurs in the nearby mountains. Such violent rainstorms are likely to be of relatively short duration and to occur over rather small areas;...
Comprehensive monitoring of meteorology, hydraulics, and thermal regime of the San Diego Aqueduct, California
Harvey E. Jobson, Alex M. Sturrock
1979, Professional Paper 1137
Water temperature, as well as meteorologic and hydraulic variables which influence the energy budget of the San Diego Aqueduct in southern California, were continuously monitored for a 1-year period beginning July 24, 1973. Incoming solar and atmospheric radiation, windspeed and direction, water temperature, and wet- and dry-bulb air temperatures were...

Seepage study of the West Side and West canals, Box Elder County, Utah
R.W. Cruff
1979, Open-File Report 79-1489
A study of the gains or losses of the West Side and West Canals from Cutler Reservoir to near Penrose, Box Elder County, Utah, was made to aid in water allocation for the canal system. Four sets of seepage measurements made in 1978 were used in the analysis. Adjustments for...

Late Precambrian Sixtymile Formation and orogeny at top of the Grand Canyon Supergroup, northern Arizona
Donald Parker Elston
1979, Professional Paper 1092
The Sixtymile Formation, a 60-m-thick red-bed unit at the top of the late Precambrian Chuar Group, crops out at three places in the Chuar syncline in the eastern Grand Canyon. Its base is marked by a transition from gray marine shale to red sandstone. The Sixtymile was deposited in the...
