Crest-stage gaging stations in Oregon: a compilation of peak data collected from October 1952 to September 1974
John Friday
1974, Report
A crest-stage gaging station provides an excellent means for determining peak water-surface elevations at a selected location on a stream channel. When related to streamflow, these data provide hydrologists with a knowledge of the flood experience of a drainage basin. If an adequate flood history is known, it is possible...
Quality of water in the Red River alluvial aquifer, Shreveport, to the mouth of the Black River, Louisiana
A. H. Ludwig
1974, Report
Chemical analyses of water samples from 296 wells in the Red River alluvial aquifer indicate that the ground water in the valley is generally hard (more than 120 milligrams per liter) and has a high iron concentration (greater than 6,000 micrograms per liter). The predominant ions found in the water...

Estimating mean streamflow in the Duchesne River basin, Utah
R.W. Cruff
1974, Open-File Report 74-214
Monthly, annual, and long-term mean streamflow were estimated for streams in the Duchesne River basin by use of the monthly measurement method. Monthly measurements were attempted at 44 sites in the basin during the 1971 and 1972 water years. Some measurements could not be made because some sites were not...

A computer system for the storage and retrieval of gravity data, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Richard H. Godson, Gordon H. Andreasen
1974, Open-File Report 74-1040
A computer system has been developed for the systematic storage and retrieval of gravity data. All pertinent facts relating to gravity station measurements and computed Bouguer values may be retrieved either by project name or by geographical coordinates. Features of the system include visual display in the form of printer...

Donal Ray Mullineaux, Donald W. Peterson
1974, Open-File Report 74-239
Volcanic hazards on the Island of Hawaii have been determined to be chiefly products of eruptions: lava flows, falling fragments, gases, and particle-and-gas clouds. Falling fragments and particle-and-gas clouds can be substantial hazards to life, but they are relatively rare. Lava flows are the chief hazard to property; they are...
