G.L. Bertoldi
1971, Open-File Report 71-39
The Dos Palos-Kettleman City area of this report includes approximately 1,350 square miles on the central-western side of the San Joaquin Valley, California. Large-scale farming operations in the area have used ground water as the major source of irrigation water for nearly three quarters of a century. In 1968, completion...

Estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in Wisconsin
Duane H. Conger
1971, Open-File Report 71-76
This report provides methods for estimating flood characteristics at most sites where flood information may be needed for planning and design and summatizes the significant flood data and related information available on Wisconsin streams. Individual equations are presented for estimating flood discharges for selected recurrence intervals up to a 25-year...
Thermal study of the Missouri River in North Dakota using infrared imagery
Orlo A. Crosby
1971, Open-File Report 71-81
Studies of infrared imagery obtained from aircraft at 305- to 1,524- meter altitudes indicate the feasibility of monitoring thermal changes attributable to the operation of thermal-electric plants and storage reservoirs, as well as natural phenomena such as tributary inflow and ground-water seeps, in large rivers. No identifiable sources of ground-water...

Acidity control in Bald Eagle Creek and West Branch Susquehanna River, Clinton County, Pennsylvania
Herbert N. Flippo Jr.
1971, Open-File Report 71-108
Regression analysis of chemical and physical data collected on Beech Creek resulted in two curves that relate the concentration of free hydrogen ion to the electrical specific conductance of the water. These curves provide a means of estimating, through use of data telemetered from a water-quality monitor on Beech Creek,...
Generalized flood-frequency estimates for urban areas in Missouri
Ector Eugene Gann
1971, Open-File Report 71-116
A method is presented for estimating flood-frequency information for urban areas in Missouri. Flood-frequency relations are presented which provide an estimate of the flood-peak discharge for floods with recurrence intervals from 2.33 to 100 years for basins with various degrees of existing or projected urban development. Drainage area sizes for...
Hulburt Creek Hydrology, Southwestern Wisconsin
Warren A. Gebert
1971, Open-File Report 71-118
The purpose of this study was to determine the hydrologic characteristics of Hulburt Creek, Sauk County, Wis., in order to evaluate a proposed reservoir. The streamflow characteristics estimated are the low flow, monthly flow, and inflow flood. The study was done by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the...
Annual compilation and analysis of hydrologic data for Pin Oak Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1969
B.B. Hampton, D.R. Myers
1971, Open-File Report 71-144
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood and soil erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found...

Hydrologic data for Horseshoe Lake, Arkansas and vicinity
A. G. Lamonds
1971, Open-File Report 71-177
During the summer and fall, seepage and evaporation losses from Horseshoe Lake, an oxbow or an 'old river' lake adjacent to the Mississippi River, exceed inflow to the lake, and seasonal declines of 2.5-3.0 feet in the lake level are common. In exceptionally dry years, the minimum lake level has...

Estimated subsidence in the Chino-Riverside and Bunker Hill-Yucaipa areas in Southern California for a postulated water-level lowering, 1965-2015
Ben Elder Lofgren
1971, Open-File Report 71-183
One of the alternate plans for water utilization being considered by the California Department of Water Resources in the Chino-Riverside and Bunker Hill-Yucaipa areas in southern California involves partial mining of ground water during the period 1965-2015, and consequent substantial lowering of water levels. The Department wants to know whether...
