Hydrology of the abandoned coal mines in the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania
Jerrald R. Hollowell
1974, Open-File Report 74-237
Mine-water discharge, into the Susquehanna River degrades the river's quality during periods of low flow to a point critical for subsistence of aquatic life. To determine what measures are required to provide a better quality mine-water discharge in the Wyoming Valley, mine hydrology and mine-water quality are related to mine-pool...

Characteristics of streamflow at gaging stations in the Loup River basin, Nebraska
F. Butler Shaffer
1974, Open-File Report 73-259
Nearly 80 years of streamflow records have been collected in Nebraska. Such records are of immeasurable value and are essential if water resources are to be planned wisely and managed efficiently. Their value for planning and management can be greatly enhanced if the records are analyzed statistically. This report presents...

1974, Open-File Report 74-39
The Dismal Swamp, on the border between eastern Virginia and North Carolina is one of the few remaining large (approximately 210,000 acres) areas of wet wilderness in the eastern United States. There has been much speculation concerning the hydrologic conditions that led to the formation of the swamp.Oaks and Coch...

Conglomerate beds containing sparse boulders in the upper part of the Wajid Sandstone of Permian or older(?) age have been interpreted as Gondwana glacial deposits (Helal, 1965). These beds, exposed in the Bani Khatmah area near the southeastern edge of the Arabian Shield of Saudi Arabia, contain normally graded polymictic...

Straight line fitting of an observation path by least normal squares
William H. Kirby
1974, Open-File Report 74-187
In curtain hydro graphic problems, and perhaps in other geophysical problems, information must be collected as profiles along straight-line courses. When the inevitable deviations from perfect linearity occur, one must then find the straight line course that best approximates the actual observation path. Classical least squares (regression) does not solve...
