Floods in New York, magnitude and frequency
F. Luman Robison
1961, Circular 454
This report presents a practical means of predicting the probable magnitude of floods on streams in New York State. Because of the limited amount of data on small drainage basins this method is not applicable to sites where the drainage area is less than 10 square miles or to streams...

Occurrence of minor elements in water
W. H. Durum, Joseph Haffty
1961, Circular 445
Three basic studies, using spectrographic methods, have been used to establish the occurrence of minor elements in natural waters. One study, of oceanborne chemicals in principal rivers, has established a method for the quantitative analysis of many minor elements. Strontium, barium, lithium, rubidium, chromium, nickel, copper, lead, boron, titanium, molybdenum,...
Sonic depth sounder for laboratory and field use
E.V. Richardson, Daryl B. Simons, G.J. Posakony
1961, Circular 450
The laboratory investigation of roughness in alluvial channels has led to the development of a special electronic device capable of mapping the streambed configuration under dynamic conditions. This electronic device employs an ultrasonic pulse-echo principle, similar to that of a fathometer, that utilizes microsecond techniques to give high accuracy in...

Ground-water potentialities in the Crescent Valley, Eureka and Lander Counties, Nevada
Christie Paul Zones
1961, Water Supply Paper 1581
The Crescent Valley is an intermontane basin in Eureka and Lander Counties, just south of the Humboldt River in north-central Nevada. The valley floor, with an area of about 150 square miles, has a shape that more nearly resembles a Y than a crescent, although the valley apparently was named...
Floods of January-February 1959 in Indiana
Malcolm D. Hale, Richard Earl Hoggatt
1961, Circular 440
The floods of January-February 1959 in Indiana exceeded those previously known on many streams in the southeastern portion of the State in January and on several streams in the Wabash Valley during February. At least 3 lives were lost, more than 2,000 people were evacuated, and dozens of bridges were...
