An application of thermometry to the study of ground water
Robert Schneider
1962, Water Supply Paper 1544-B
Except for studies of temperature data related to ground-water developments that induce infiltration from streams, little attention has been given to the possibility of using temperature fluctuations as a tool for studying the elements of the hydrologic cycle involving ground water. The temperature of the water discharged from large installations that...
Current studies of the hydrology of prairie potholes
Jelmer B. Shjeflo
1962, Circular 472
The prairie potholes in the North-Central States and in Canada are of glacial origin. Because many of them contain ponds or marshes, they are important in the production of livestock and waterfowl. The objective of the present investigation is to determine the amount of water that accumulates in and is...
Floods of December 1961 in Mississippi and adjoining states
James D. Shell
1962, Circular 465
Widespread floods occurred over parts of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama after heavy rains during December 18, 1961. A series of low-pressure systems produced as much as 19 inches of rainfall in some areas. Heavy rainfall, 7 to 11 inches, on December 10 resulted in outstanding floods on small streams in...
Floods of February 1962 in southern Idaho and northeastern Nevada
Cecil Albert Thomas, Robert D. Lamke
1962, Circular 467
The floods of February 10-15, 1969., were the highest known on many streams in southern Idaho and northeastern Nevada. Some of the peak discharges have recurrence intervals greater than a hundred years. The floods resulted from an unusual combination of conditions, each of which contributed to the sudden severe flooding....
Sediment discharge during floods in eastern Nebraska
J. C. Mundorff
1962, Circular 470
Runoff resulting from rapid melting of a deep snow cover over much of eastern Nebraska resulted in exceptionally high stream stages and in severe flooding on many streams in eastern Nebraska during the latter part of March and the early part of April in 1960. Suspended-sediment concentrations and discharges for...
Flow through openings in width constrictions
Jacob Davidian, P.H. Carrigan Jr., John Shen
1962, Water Supply Paper 1369-D
A highway embankment across a stream channel may have one or several bridge openings. In 1953, the pattern of flow through a single opening was quantitatively described by C. E. Kindsvater, R. W. Carter, and H. J. Tracy. The present investigation of the flow pattern at constrictions with two to...
Floods in New Mexico, magnitude and frequency
Leon A. Wiard
1962, Circular 464
This report presents a method of determining the magnitude and frequency of floods that can be expected in New Mexico The discharge of the mean annual flood for various regions in the State is defined. Curves relate mean annual flood and drainage area. Drainage area was the only basin characteristic...
Explorations for water supplies on the public domain, 1960
William Stewart Eisenlohr
1962, Circular 461
In making reconnaissances for water supplies on the public domain as part of the Soil and Moisture Conservation Program of the Department of the Interior, the Geological Survey obtains information on the availability of water that is useful for other purposes or in other areas. This report contains the information...
Notes on earth fissures in southern Arizona
G.M. Robinson, D.E. Peterson
1962, Circular 466
This report describes earth fissures at six sites in southern Arizona. These notes are preliminary to a more extensive study and detailed analysis being prepared by hydrologists in the Water Resources Division. Earth fissures were first recorded in Arizona in 1927, and have been noticed with increasing frequency since 1949....
Ground-water studies and analog models
Charles Joseph Robinove
1962, Circular 468
Hydrologists make ground-water studies to aid managers and users of water resources in solving their problems in the development and management of ground water. Geologic and hydrologic information provides the basic knowledge for construction of electric analog models that portray the ground-water system in miniature. Analog models can be analyzed...
A national network of hydrological benchmarks
Luna Bergere Leopold
1962, Circular 460-B
We are engaged in great national programs of water control and development. An expanding population demands ever-increasing supplies of the natural resources which are to be found in or upon the landscape soil, water, minerals, food, timber, and fiber. By his works, by his extractions, man's mark upon his environment...
The man and the hill
Luna Bergere Leopold
1962, Circular 460-A
He was sitting on a large slab of rock. As he looked at the cloud of dust hanging hazily on the horizon, the piece of antler and the block of flint he held in his hand hung as if they were suspended from their previous rapid motion. The man gazed...
Floods in Nebraska on small drainage areas, magnitude and frequency
Emil W. Beckman, Norman E. Hutchison
1962, Circular 458
Flood hazard information is needed for small streams as well as for large ones. This report explains methods of defining the magnitude and frequency of floods in Nebraska on uncontrolled and unregulated streams which have about 300 square miles or less of drainage area contributing to surface runoff. Composite frequency...
Floods in Utah, magnitude and frequency
Vernon K. Berwick
1962, Circular 457
This report presents a procedure for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods, within the range of the base data, for any site, gaged or ungaged. From the relation of annual floods to the mean annual flood, a composite frequency curve was derived for recurrence intervals of 1.1 to 50...
