Aircraft measurements of microwave emission from Arctic Sea ice
T. Wilheit, W. Nordberg, J. Blinn, W. Campbell, A. Edgerton
1971, Remote Sensing of Environment (2) 129-139
Measurements of the microwave emission from Arctic Sea ice were made with aircraft at 8 wavelengths ranging from 0.510 to 2.81 cm. The expected contrast in emissivities between ice and water was observed at all wavelengths. Distributions of sea ice and open water were mapped from altitudes up to 11...
The sea sled - A device for measuring bottom profiles in the surf zone
E. Reimnitz, D.A. Ross
1971, Marine Geology (11) M27-M32
The Sea Sled is a simple, easily constructed device for obtaining relatively accurate and quick bottom profiles in the surf zone. The onshore — offshore motion associated with the passage of waves propels the sled on both its seaward traverse and the shoreward...
Effects of irrigation on streamflow in the Central Sand Plain of Wisconsin
E.P. Weeks, H.G. Stangland
1971, Open-File Report 70-362
Development of ground water for irrigation affects streamflow and water levels in the sand-plain area of central Wisconsin. Additional irrigation development may reduce opportunities for water-based recreation by degrading the streams as trout habitat and by lowering lake levels. This study was made to inventory present development of irrigation in...
Use of time-lapse photography equipment for hydrologic studies
J.R. Beck
1971, Report
This report describes equipment used for recording hydrologic events photographically on a controlled time scale. Equipment used included a 16-mm (millimeter) motion-picture camera, batteries, and associated intervalometer hardware.Variables that affected operation of the equipment, and which were used to turn the equipment on and off upon demand, were sunlight intensity,...
Aerial photographic reproductions
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1971, Report
Geological Survey vertical aerial photography is obtained primarily for topographic and geologic mapping. Reproductions from this photography are usually satisfactory for general use. Because reproductions are not stocked, but are custom processed for each order, they cannot be returned for credit or refund....
Surface water supply of the United States, 1961-65, Part 13. Snake River basin
1971, Water Supply Paper 1934
This volume is one of a series of 37 reports presenting records of stage, discharge, and content, of streams, lakes, and reservoirs in the United States during the 1961-65 water years. Since 1888, when the U.S. Geological Survey first studied streamflow in relation to problems of irrigation, similar records have been obtained at...
The water quality of Sam Rayburn Reservoir, eastern Texas
Jack Rawson, Myra W. Lansford
1971, Water Supply Paper 1999-J
Inflow of wastes to the Angelina River has caused some local deterioration of the quality of water downstream from Lufkin. However, the volume of flow in the Angelina River has been adequate to prevent serious deterioration of the quality of water in Sam Rayburn Reservoir. From March 1965 to September 1968,...
Analysis of current-meter data at Columbia River gaging stations, Washington and Oregon
John Savini, G. L. Bodhaine
1971, Water Supply Paper 1869-F
The U.S. Geological Survey developed equipment to measure stream velocity simultaneously with 10 current meters arranged in a vertical and to measure velocity closer to the streambed than attainable with conventional equipment. With the 10 current meters, synchronous velocities were recorded for a period of 66 minutes at 10 different...
Subsurface waste disposal by means of wells - A selective annotated bibliography
Donald Robert Rima, Edith B. Chase, Beverly M. Myers
1971, Water Supply Paper 2020
Subsurface waste disposal by means of wells is the practice of using drilled wells to inject unwanted substances into underground rock formations. The use of wells for this purpose is not a new idea. As long ago as the end of the last century, it was common practice to drill...
Floods of December 1966 in the Kern-Kaweah area, Kern and Tulare Counties, California; with section on Geomorphic Effects in the Kern River Basin
Willard W. Dean, Kevin M. Scott
1971, Water Supply Paper 1870-C
Past records of peak flow ,and 3-day ,storm-runoff volume in the Kern, Tule, and Kaweah River basins in California were greatly exceeded by the floods of December 1966. Streams rose rapidly following precipitation of as much as 15 inches in a 24-hour period on December 5-6 during a strong inflow...
Hydrology and sedimentation of Corey Creek and Elk Run basins, north-central Pennsylvania
Lloyd A. Reed
1971, Water Supply Paper 1532-E
Analysis of data collected from two small agricultural basins in northcehtral Pennsylvania during the period May 1954 to September 1967 indicates that conservation measures reduced the quantity of suspended sediment leaving the Corey Creek basin as a result of frequent storms during the growing season. Extensive soil conservation treatments were...
Water resources of the Big Black River basin, Mississippi
B. E. Wasson
1971, Water Supply Paper 1899-F
Abundant supplies of water of good quality are available in the Big Black River basin from either ground-water or surface-water sources. For 90 percent of the time flow in the lower part of the Big Black River below Pickens is not less than 85 cfs (cubic feet per second), and...
Water resources of the upper White River basin, east-central Indiana
L. W. Cable, J. F. Daniel, R. J. Wolf, C. H. Tate
1971, Water Supply Paper 1999-C
Ground-water discharge to the streams sustains year-round streamflow in the upper White River basin. This discharge, referred to as ground-water runoff or base runoff, is considered to be an index to the amount of g ound water available for development. A comparison of the variations of groundwater runoff and aquifer...
Ground-water and geohydrologic conditions in Queens County, Long Island, New York
Julian Soren
1971, Water Supply Paper 2001-A
Queens County is a heavily populated borough of New York City, at the western end of Long Island, N. Y., in which large amounts of ground water are used, mostly for public supply. Ground water, pumped from local aquifers, by privately owned water-supply companies, supplied the water needs of about...
