The karst landforms of Puerto Rico
Watson H. Monroe
1976, Professional Paper 899
Puerto Rico has a great variety of landforms developed by solution of limestone under tropical climatic conditions. Karst topography is present in most parts of Puerto Rico where limestone crops out, but it is more highly developed in the northern and northwestern parts, which are underlain by thick limestone formations of Oligocene and Miocene age....

The structure of a turbulent flow in a channel of complex shape
Hubert Jerome Tracy
1976, Professional Paper 983
Measurements of the Reynolds stresses and the mean motion pattern were made in a uniform turbulent motion in a conduit consisting of a large, nearly square section joined by a smaller rectangular section. The results indicate that the boundary shearing stress is nearly constant over large segments of the boundaries....

Chemical quality of ground water in the Tehama-Colusa Canal service area, Sacramento Valley, California
Gilbert L. Bertoldi
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-92
The Tehama-Colusa Canal Service Area consists of about 450 square miles of irrigable land located on the west side of the Sacramento Valley, Calif. Upon the completion of the Tehama-Colusa Canal, it is expected that most of the service area will switch from passive forms of agriculture (dry farming and...
Hydrology and environmental aspects of Erie Canal (1817-99)
Walter Basil Langbein
1976, Water Supply Paper 2038
As the first major water project in the United States, the old Erie Canal provides an example of the hydrological and environmental consequences of water development. The available record shows that the project aroused environmental fears that the canal might be impaired by the adverse hydrologic effects of land development...

An appraisal of ground water for irrigation in the Appleton area, west-central Minnesota
Steven P. Larson
1976, Water Supply Paper 2039-B
Supplemental irrigation of well-drained sandy soils has prompted an evaluation of ground water in the Appleton area. Glacial drift aquifers are the largest source of ground water. The surficial outwash sand and gravel is the most readily available and the most areally extensive drift aquifer, and it underlies much of...

Sediment characteristics of streams in the eastern Piedmont and western Coastal Plain regions of North Carolina
Clyde E. Simmons
1976, Water Supply Paper 1798-O
The sediment-transport characteristics of streams were determined in a 15,500-square-kilometre (6,000-square-mile) area of the Coastal Plain and Piedmont regions of eastern North Carolina during 1969-73. The study covered all or parts of 21 counties and included data for 28 sediment-sampling stations in parts of 4 major river basins?the Roanoke, Pamlico,...

1976, Water Supply Paper 1798-N
Rainfall, streamflow, stream chemical, and sediment discharge data were collected from Bixler Run near Loysville, Pa., during the period from February 1954 to September 1969 as part of a project to evaluate sediment discharge from an agricultural area in which soil-conservation techniques were being adopted at a moderate rate. The...
