Hydrologic characteristics of Alder Creek, Iron County, Wisconsin
B. K. Holmstrom, W.A. Gebert, Ronald G. Borman
1973, Open-File Report 74-1049
The purpose of this study was to determine the hydrologic characteristics of Alder Creek, Iron County, Wisconsin, which are needed by water-resource planners to evaluate a reservoir site proposed by the Whitecap Mountain Corporation on Alder Creek. The hydrologic characteristics estimated were the mean flows, low flows, flood peaks, suspended-sediment...
Floods in the Rock River basin, Iowa
Albert J. Heinitz
1973, Open-File Report 74-1047
This report contains flood information for the Rock River basin in Iowa, it updates and supersedes the 1967 report "Floods in Rock River basin, Iowa" by P. J. Carpenter. The occurrence of an outstanding flood in 1969 and the acquisition of additional flood data in the basin prompted the preparation of...

Flood of August 2, 1972, in the Little Maquoketa River basin, Dubuque County, Iowa
Albert J. Heinitz
1973, Open-File Report 73-107
Flood peaks with magnitudes from 2 to 3 times the SO-year flood occurred on streams in the Little Maquoketa River basin for the flood of August 2, 1972. Up to nine inches of rain fell in the headwater of the Middle Fork tributary with six to seven inches occurring over...
Catalog of earthquakes along the San Andreas fault system in Central California, July-September 1972
R. L. Wesson, K.L. Meagher, F.W. Lester
1973, Open-File Report 73-362
Numerous small earthquakes occur each day in the coast ranges of Central California. The detailed study of these earthquakes provides a tool for gaining insight into the tectonic and physical processes responsible for the generation of damaging earthquakes. This catalog contains the fundamental parameters for earthquakes located within and adjacent...

Preliminary report on land-surface subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown, Texas
R.K. Gabrysch
1973, Open-File Report 73-374
Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris County has caused declines in fluid pressures which in turn have resulted in subsidence of the land surface. One critical area of subsidence is in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown. Much of this area...
Roughness coefficients for stream channels in Arizona
B. N. Aldridge, J.M. Garrett
1973, Open-File Report 73-3
When water flows in an open channel, energy is lost through friction along the banks and bed of the channel and through turbulence within the channel. The amount of energy lost is governed by channel roughness, which is expressed in terms of a roughness coefficient. An evaluation of the roughness...

The lithologic equivalents of the Fox Hills Sandstone, Lance Formation, and the Tullock member of the Fort Union Formation, as mapped on the east side of the Powder River Basin, can be recognized throughout the basin; however, the formations are in hydraulic connection and cannot be treated as separate aquifers....
Records of selected water wells and test holes in the Oklahoma Panhandle
George L. Hoffman, Donald L. Hart Jr.
1973, Open-File Report 73-376
Since 1963 use of ground water for irrigation in the Oklahoma panhandle has increased greatly as illustrated by the rapid increase in the number of irrigation wells (fig. 1). Because of increased use of ground water, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, in 1966...

Review of wastewater problems and wastewater-management planning in the San Francisco Bay region, California
Walter G. Hines
1973, Open-File Report 73-112
The San Francisco Bay region has suffered adverse environmental effects related to the discharge of municipal-, industrial-, and agricultural- wastewater and storm-water runoff. Specific pollutional properties of theses discharges are not well understood in all cases although the toxic materials and aquatic-plant nutrients (biostimulants) found in municipal and industrial...

Flood of September 1971 in southeastern Pennsylvania
Leland V. Page, Lewis C. Shaw
1973, Open-File Report 73-217
Record-breaking floods on Sept. 13, 1971, occurred in some urbanized basins of southeastern Pennsylvania. This flooding resulted from heavy, intermittent thunderstorms on Sept. 11-13, 1971, which produced 8 to 12 inches of rainfall in the basins of Skippack, Stony, and Chester Creeks. Rain was heaviest during mid-day of the 13th....
