Flood elevations for the Sooes River at proposed fish hatchery, Clallam County, Washington; a surface-water site study
J.H. Bartells
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-130
Water-surface elevations were derived for various combinations of selected river discharges and tide elevations along a reach of the Sooes River 3 miles upstream from the mouth at the site of a proposed fish hatchery in Clallam County, Washington. Flood-frequency analyses determined river discharges having exceedence probabilities of 1, 2,...
Forest and flooding with special reference to the White River and Ouachita River basins, Arkansas
M. S. Bedinger
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-68
The observed response of trees to hydrologic stress and distribution of trees in relation to habitat indicate that flooding, ground-water level, soil moisture, soil factors, and drainage characteristics exert a strong influence on bottomland forest species distribution. The dominant hydrologic factor influencing the distribution of bottomland tree species is flooding....

E. H. Boswell
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-131
The Citronelle aquifers consist of sand and gravel of Pliocene age that forms a discontinuous outcrop area of about 6,000 square miles in southern Mississippi. The beds dip to the south at an average rate of about 6 feet per mile. The unconfined aquifers are used mostly for domestic and...
Hydrologic effects of annually diverting 131,000 acre-feet of water from Dillon Reservoir, central Colorado
William M. Alley, D. P. Bauer, J.E. Veenhuis, Robert Brennan
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-2
Because of the increased demands for water in eastern Colorado, principally in the urbanizing Denver metropolitan area, increased diversions of water from Dillon Reservoir are planned. Estimates of end-of-month storage in Dillon Reservoir, assuming the reservoir was in place and 131,000 acre-feet of water were diverted from the reservoir each...
Statistical summaries of Arizona streamflow data

1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-5
The report includes statistical summaries of streamflow data for 143 gaging stations in Arizona. Statistical summaries are given for all active streamflow-gaging stations at which flow is unregulated, for discontinued stations that have at least 5 years of record, and for a few stations at which the flow is partly...

1979, Water Data Report OR-78-1
Water resources Data for the 1978 water year for Oregon consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality in wells and springs. This report contains discharge records for 278 gaging stations; stage...
Regional stochastic generation of streamflows using an ARIMA (1,0,1) process and disaggregation
Jeffrey T. Armbruster
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-3
An ARIMA (1,0,1) model was calibrated and used to generate long annual flow sequences at three sites in the Juniata River basin, Pennsylvania. The model preserves the mean, variance, and cross correlations of the observed station data. In addition, it has a desirable blend of both high and low frequency...

The Yampa River basin, Colorado and Wyoming : a preview to expanded coal-resource development and its impacts on regional water resources
Timothy Doak Steele, D. P. Bauer, D.A. Wentz, J. W. Warner
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-126
Expanded coal production and conversion in the Yampa River basin , Colorado and Wyoming, may have substantial impacts on water resources, environmental amenities, and socioeconomic conditions. Preliminary results of a 3-year basin assessment by the U.S. Geological Survey are given for evaluation of surface- and ground-water resources using available data,...
Annual peak discharges from small drainage areas in Montana for stations discontinued before 1978
R. J. Omang, J. A. Hull, Charles Parrett
1979, Open-File Report 79-510
Annual peak stage and discharge data have been tabulated for crest-stage gage sites in Montana. The crest-stage program was begun in July 1955 to investigate the magnitude and frequency of floods from samll drainage areas. The program has expanded from 45 crest-stage gaging stations initially to 172 stations maintained in...

Core sampling beneath low-level radioactive-waste burial trenches, West Valley, Cattaraugus County, New York
David E. Prudic
1979, Open-File Report 79-1532
A technique was developed for collecting cores for radiometric analysis from beneath a low-level radioactive-waste landfill to determine the rates of downward radionuclide migration below the trenches. A closed pipe was driven through the buried waste, and a removable point withdrawn. The hole was then advanced by alternately pushing a...
Graphic and tabular summaries of changes in stream-channel cross sections between 1976 and 1978 for Redwood Creek and selected tributaries, Humboldt County, and Mill Creek, Del Norte County, California
K. Michael Nolan
1979, Open-File Report 79-1637
Forty-eight surveyed stream-channel cross sections were established along Redwood Creek, Humboldt County, California between 1973 and 1974. Eighty-three cross sections were established at selected sites along tributaries to Redwood Creek between 1974 and 1976. Eleven surveyed stream channel cross sections were established in the Mill Creek drainage basin, Del Norte...
Hydrologic data for Mountain Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1977
F.L. Stroman
1979, Open-File Report 79-509
The collection of hydrologic data by the U.S. Geological Survey in the Mountain Creek watershed began on March 9, 1925, with the establishment of a stream-gaging station located about 2.5 miles upstream from the present site of Mountain Creek Lake Dam. The stream-gaging station was discontinued on July 5, 1933....
