Floods in Starkweather Creek basin, Madison, Wisconsin
Carl L. Lawrence, Barry K. Holmstrom
1972, Open-File Report 72-221
The city of Madison is establishing standards for flood-plain zoning and land-use planning. The evaluation of flood potential is a necessary factor to be considered before such standards are established and put into effect. Purpose and scope. The purposes of this report are to determine the magnitude and water surface...
Floods on Yahara River, Lake Kegonsa dam to county line, Dane County, Wisconsin
Carl L. Lawrence, Barry K. Holmstrom
1972, Open-File Report 72-222
The State of Wisconsin, as a result of recent legislation, is establishing new, and upgrading old, minimum standards for flood-plain regulation. These standards require evaluations of the flood potential of many streams in Wisconsin. This report provides an evaluation of flood potential for the Yahara River in the 13-mile low-water channel...

Analysis of potential errors in real-time streamflow data and methods of data verification by digital computer
David J. Lystrom
1972, Open-File Report 72-235
The magnitude, frequency, and types of errors inherent in real-time streamflow data are presented in part I. It was found that real-time data are generally less accurate than are historical data, primarily because real-time data are often used before errors can be detected and corrections applied. Various methods of verifying real-time...

Limnological studies of Big Bear Lake, California
Elmer G. Pearson, George A. Irwin
1972, Open-File Report 72-295
Big Bear Lake exhibited seasonal changes in physical, chemical, and biological variables from June 1968 to June 1969.Dissolved-oxygen concentrations were depressed during the summer resulting in anaerobic conditions near the bottom of the lake. Water temperature decreased with depth in spring and summer, although classical thermal stratification was not observed....

Annual compilation and analysis of hydrologic data for urban studies in the Bryan, Texas, metropolitan area, 1969
W.D. Robbins
1972, Open-File Report 72-317
Hydrologic investigations of urban areas in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. These studies are now in progress in Austin, Houston, Dallas, Dallas County, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Bryan. Hydrologic investigations of urban areas in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954....

Some effects of a heated pipeline on ground-water flow in Alaska
Charles E. Sloan, John D. Bredehoeft
1972, Open-File Report 72-349
The thaw bulb produced by a heated pipeline buried in a stream channel may intercept water confined in shallow unfrozen zones beneath a seasonally frozen layer. Resulting movement of ground water through the thaw bulb might produce quick conditions in the pipeline foundation materials. A digital model showed that such...
Reconnaissance engineering geology of the Skagway area, Alaska, with emphasis on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards
Lynn A. Yehle, Richard Walter Lemke
1972, Open-File Report 72-454
A program to study the engineering geology of most of the larger Alaska coastal communities and to evaluate their earthquake and other geologic hazards was started promptly after the 1964 Alaska earthquake; this report is a product of that program. Field-study methods were largely reconnaissance, and thus the interpretations in...

Flood surveys along proposed TAPS route, Alaska, July 1971
Joseph M. Childers
1972, Open-File Report 73-45
The U.S. Geological Survey has a threefold responsibility along the proposed route of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS): to investigate possible hydrologic hazards to the pipeline, to investigate possible impacts of the pipeline system on water resources, and to develop a better understanding of Arctic hydrology. One of the major...
A computer program for creating keyword indexes to textual data files
David W. Moody
1972, Open-File Report 72-259
A keyword-in-context (KWIC) or out-of-context (KWOC) index is a convenient means of organizing information. This keyword index program can be used to create either KWIC or KWOC indexes of bibliographic references or other types of information punched on. cards, typed on optical scanner sheets, or retrieved from various Department of...
An evaluation of the use of drillers' logs in lithologic studies of the Ogallala Formation of the southern high plains of Texas, progress report, 1970-71
C.A. Wilson, Joe T. Smith, G.L. Thompson, W.M. Sandeen
1972, Open-File Report 72-451
Logs made by water-well drillers were analyzed in conjunction with test-hole drilling and geophysical logging to evaluate usefulness of the driller's log in delineating areas that would be suitable for artificial recharge of the Ogallala Formation. This preliminary study indicates that lack of detailed and accurate information in many drillers'...
Effects of urbanization on timing of flood peaks on Town Creek in Jackson, Mississippi
Billie E. Wasson
1972, Open-File Report 72-445
During the floods of March and April 1969 the flood crest on Town Creek occurred at Gallatin Street before crests occurred at some upstream points. Heavy urbanization in the downstream part of the basin probably caused the abnormal sequence of flood peaks in Town Creek. Flood flow at Gallatin Street is spread...
