1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-41
This study was made to determine the accuracy of using readily available data with certain statistical techniques to estimate ground-water withdrawals in western Kansas. The data used in the investigation were from a sample of wells chosen from the total inventoried irrigation wells in nine counties in northwestern Kansas; they...

Movement and dispersion of soluble materials in Salem Creek, Muddy Creek, and Yadkin River between Winston-Salem and Salisbury, North Carolina
K.L. Lindskov
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-6
Wastes entering the Yadkin River from the Winston-Salem area, particularly during heavy rains, resulted in several major fish kills in the late 1960's and early 1970's. The actions undertaken to solve this problem, included the collection of data on the time of travel and dispersion characteristics of the tributaries draining...
Flood profiles and inundated areas along the Lower Nisqually River, Washington
J. E. Cummans
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-42
Nisqually River flood profiles, covering the reach from near the river mouth to river mile 6.4, were developed in a 2-year field study (1970-72) as part of a continuing program with the State of Washington Department of Ecology. The main channel of the reach will convey without overflow discharges as...

Hydrologic analysis of the Mojave River, California, using a mathematical model
Timothy J. Durbin, W. F. Hardt
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-17
The channel of the Mojave Rive'r in California is normally dry and is highly permeable over much of its length, and large quantities of water from natural floodflows in the channel infiltrate through the channel bed to the underlying ground-water body. From 1930 to 1972 only 18 floods at The...
Availability of ground water in the Branch River basin; Providence County, Rhode Island
H.E. Johnston, D.C. Dickerman
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-18
Stratified glacial drift consisting largely of sand and gravel constitutes the only aquifer capable of supporting continuous yields of 100 gpm (6.3 1/s) or more to individual wells. The aquifer covers about a third of the 79 mi 2 (205 km2) study area, occurring mainly in stream valleys that are...
Land-surface subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown, Texas
R.K. Gabrysch, C.W. Bonnet
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-21
Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris County has caused declines in fluid pressures, which in turn have resulted in subsidence of the land surface. Subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown is becoming critical because much of the area is...
Digital simulation of the effects of urbanization on runoff in the upper Santa Ana Valley, California
Timothy J. Durbin
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-41
The Stanford Watershed Model was used to simulate the effects of urbanization on the discharge from five drainage basins in the upper Santa Ana Valley, an area with an average annual precipitation of 15 inches. The drainage basins ranged in size from 3.72 to 83.4 square miles. Using the model,...
A water-quality reconnaissance of Big Bear Lake, San Bernardino County, California, 1972-1973
George A. Irwin, Michael Lemons
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-3
A water-quality reconnaissance study of the Big Bear Lake area in southern California was made by the U.S. Geological Survey from April 1972 through April 1973. The primary purpose of the study was to measure the concentration and distribution of selected primary nutrients, organic carbon, dissolved oxygen, phytoplankton, and water...

Low-flow characteristics of Wisconsin streams at sewage-treatment plants
W.A. Gebert, B. K. Holmstrom
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-45
Low-flow characteristics of Wisconsin streams at 415 sewage -treatment plants are presented in this report. The low-flow characteristics presented are the annual minimum 7-day mean flow that occurs on the average of once in 2 years (Q7, 2) and the annual minimum 7 -day mean flow that occurs on the...

Chemical and biological quality of Lake Dicie at Eustis, Florida, with emphasis on the effects of storm runoff
A. G. Lamonds
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-36
After the construction of a storm drain designed to carry runoff from the southeastern part of the city of Eustis into Lake Dicie, algal blooms occurred in the lake. In order to determine the nature and extent of these blooms, the quality of both the lake and storm runoff into...

1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-57
A listing is presented of flood maps prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey through 1973. Maps are listed by State and county and the list provides information on the type of flooding depicted and the reliability of the delineation.The list was prepared from a computer file, and an available program...
Flood-hazard study, 100-year stage for Baldwin Lake, San Bernardino County, California
James J. French, Mark W. Busby
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-26
Shoreline features that represent former high-water stages on Baldwin Lake are found at 10 different altitudes that range from 6,700 to 6,713 feet (2,042 to 2,046 metres). Stage frequencies were assigned to the stages, but the date of formation of the features could be determined only for the most recent...
