1979, Open-File Report 79-699
A reconnaissance of the water resources of the western Arctic was conducted during April 1976 and August 1977. Data were collected at 9 springs, 9 lakes and 22 stream sites.Using slope-conveyance methods based on field evidence, estimates of bankfull and maximum evident flood-peak discharges were made for 20 selected streams....
Design of a network for monitoring ground-water quality in Minnesota
Marc F. Hult
1979, Open-File Report 79-1164
A network for monitoring the quality of water in the 13 principal aquifers in Minnesota has been designed and more than 400 wells and springs selected for sampling. The network organization includes four major elements; (1) point sampling, (2) point monitoring, (3) regional monitoring, and (4) site-specific monitoring. These elements...

A summary of measured hydraulic data for the series of steady and unsteady flow experiments over patterned roughness
Dannie L. Collins, Kathleen M. Flynn
1979, Open-File Report 79-1260
This report summarizes and makes available to other investigators the measured hydraulic data collected during a series of experiments designed to study the effect of patterned bed roughness on steady and unsteady open-channel flow. The patterned effect of the roughness was obtained by clear-cut mowing of designated areas of an...
The use of Vacutainer tubes for collection of soil samples for helium analysis
Margaret Hinkle, James E. Kilburn
1979, Open-File Report 79-1441
Measurements of the helium concentration of soil samples collected and stored in Vacutainer-brand evacuated glass tubes show that Vacutainers are reliable containers for soil collection. Within the limits of reproducibility, helium content of soils appears to be independent of variations in soil temperature, barometric pressure, and quantity of soil moisture...
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;...

Relation between proposed developments of water resources and seepage from the All-American Canal, eastern Imperial Valley, California
Omar J. Loeltz, S. A. Leake
1979, Open-File Report 79-744
A two-layer digital model designed for this study indicated that sealing of the Coachella branch of the All-American Canal would cause an eventual increase in seepage from the All-American Canal of about 15,000 acre-feet annually. Sealing of both the Coachella Canal and the segment of the All-American Canal between Pilot...

Primary and secondary faulting in the Najd fault system, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
John McMahon Moore
1979, Open-File Report 79-1661
The Najd fault system is a major transcurrent (strike-slip) fault system of Proterozoic age in the Arabian Shield. The system is a braided complex of parallel and curved en echelon faults. Complex arrays of secondary structures including strike-slip, oblique-slip, thrust, and normal faults, together with folds and dike swarms, are...
Stormwater-runoff data for a commercial area, Broward County, Florida
Robert A. Miller, Harold C. Mattraw Jr., Jack Hardee
1979, Open-File Report 79-982
Rainfall, stormwater discharge, and water-quality data for rainfall and runoff are summarized for a commercial area in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Loads for 20 water-quality constituents were computed for runoff from 31 storms between May 1975 and June 1977. The basin of 20.4 acres contains a shopping center with adjacent parking,...

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...
