Evaluation of the streamflow-data program in Hawaii
George Yamanaga
1972, Open-File Report 72-453
Streamflow data for Hawaii are evaluated and guidelines for planning future data programs are provided. Evaluation involved (1) definition of long-term goals of the data-collection program in quantitative form, (2) examination and analysis of all available data to determine which goals have been achieved, and (3) consideration of alternative programs...
An evaluation of the use of drillers' logs in lithologic studies of the Ogallala Formation of the southern high plains of Texas, progress report, 1970-71

1972, Open-File Report 72-451
Logs made by water-well drillers were analyzed in conjunction with test-hole drilling and geophysical logging to evaluate usefulness of the driller's log in delineating areas that would be suitable for artificial recharge of the Ogallala Formation. This preliminary study indicates that lack of detailed and accurate information in many drillers'...
Effects of urbanization on timing of flood peaks on Town Creek in Jackson, Mississippi
Billie E. Wasson
1972, Open-File Report 72-445
During the floods of March and April 1969 the flood crest on Town Creek occurred at Gallatin Street before crests occurred at some upstream points. Heavy urbanization in the downstream part of the basin probably caused the abnormal sequence of flood peaks in Town Creek. Flood flow at Gallatin Street is spread...

Hydrograph simulation models of the Hillsborough and Alafia Rivers, Florida: a preliminary report
James F. Turner Jr.
1972, Open-File Report 72-382
Mathematical (digital) models that simulate flood hydrographs from rainfall records have been developed for the following gaging stations in the Hillsborough and Alafia River basins of west-central Florida: Hillsborough River near Tampa, Alafia River at Lithia, and north Prong Alafia River near Keysville. These models, which were developed from historical...

Regional draft-storage relationships for central and western Upper Peninsula of Michigan
L.E. Stoimenoff
1972, Open-File Report 72-362
Regional draft-storage relationships for central and western Upper Peninsula of Michigan are presented in this report. Storage requirements for the 5- and 20-year recurrence intervals were determined using the frequency-mass curve method and daily discharge records from 15 gaging stations. The relationships will be useful in making preliminary estimates of...
Brief summary of the hydrogeology of Bangladesh
J.R. Jones
1972, Open-File Report 74-1056
The average annual precipitation in Bangladesh ranges from about 50 inches in the west-central part to about 200 inches in the northeast. Most of the rain falls during the southwest monsoon so that local precipitation is heavy at the same time flood waters of the Brahmaputra and Ganges rivers arrive....

The ground-water system in southeastern Laramie County, Wyoming
Marvin A. Crist, William B. Borchert
1972, Open-File Report 72-80
Increased development of irrigation wells in southeastern Laramie County, Wyo., has caused concern about the quantity of water available. Ground water from approximately 230 large-capacity wells is used to irrigate most of the 18,165 acres under irrigation. The purpose of this study is to provide more knowledge about the character...
