Techniques for assessing water resource potentials in the developing countries: with emphasis on streamflow, erosion and sediment transport, water movement in unsaturated soils, ground water, and remote sensing in hydrologic applications
George C. Taylor Jr.
1971, Open-File Report 72-375
Hydrologic instrumentation and methodology for assessing water-resource potentials have originated largely in the developed countries of the temperature zone. The developing countries lie largely in the tropic zone, which contains the full gamut of the earth's climatic environments, including most of those of the temperate zone. For this reason, most...
Thermal study of the Missouri River in North Dakota using infrared imagery
Orlo A. Crosby
1971, Open-File Report 71-81
Studies of infrared imagery obtained from aircraft at 305- to 1,524- meter altitudes indicate the feasibility of monitoring thermal changes attributable to the operation of thermal-electric plants and storage reservoirs, as well as natural phenomena such as tributary inflow and ground-water seeps, in large rivers. No identifiable sources of ground-water...
Geologic map of Late Cenozoic deposits, Santa Clara County, California
E. J. Helley, E. E. Brabb
1971, Open-File Report 71-150
This map is the first of several in the San Francisco Bay region showing the distribution and differentiation of the late Cenozoic alluvial, estuarine, and volcanic deposits. The sedimentary deposits of gravel, sand, silt, and clay were separated into geologic map units on the basis of their post-depositional soil development,...
Low-flow study of streams in Albany County, New York
F. Luman Robison
1971, Open-File Report 72-318
In 1967, the city of Albany and the U.S. Geological Survey began an enlarged cooperative program to evaluate the surface-water resources of the county. This interim report presents an analysis of the low-flow data that the program has obtained to 1970.As part of this program, personnel of the Geological Survey...

A preliminary evaluation of hydrologic conditions of the Lakeland Ridge area of Polk County, Florida
Alton F. Robertson
1971, Open-File Report 71-241
The Lakeland ridge are covers about 300 square miles in north-west Polk County. The rapid growth of this area has resulted in an increase in ground-water withdrawals such that in 1968 about 67.5 million gallons per day was pumped to satisfy the demands of municipal, irrigation and industrial users. Declines...

J. C. Blodgett
1971, Open-File Report 71-48
A summary of water-temperature records is presented for data collected through September 1968 in the San Francisco Bay Subregion of California. This report is one of a series covering the 11 hydrologic subregions of the State and includes data for 87 stream sites. Water temperatures, in degrees Celsius, are summarized...

1971, Open-File Report 71-337
A reconnaissance investigation of ground-water resources in the upper Arkansas River basin from Pueblo to Leadville is being made by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District, and the Colorado Division of Water Resources, Colorado State Engineer. As part of the investigation, surface geophysical...
Turbidity and suspended-sediment transport in the Russian River Basin, California
John R. Ritter, William M. Brown III
1971, Open-File Report 72-316
The Russian River in north coastal California has a persistent turbidness, which has reportedly caused a decline in the success of the sports fishermen. As a consequence, the number of sports fishermen angling in the river has declined, and industries dependent on their business have suffered. To determine the source...

Aids in designing laboratory flumes
Garnett P. Williams
1971, Open-File Report 71-327
The upsurge of interest in our environment has caused research and instruction in the flow of water along open channels to become increasingly popular in universities and institutes. This, in turn, has brought a greater demand for properly-designed laboratory flumes. Whatever the reason for your interest, designing and...
The Shublik Formation and adjacent strata in northeastern Alaska description, minor elements, depositional environments and diagenesis
Harry Allison Tourtelot, Irvin L. Tailleur
1971, Open-File Report 71-284
The Shublik Formation (Middle and Late Triassic) is widespread in the surface and subsurface of northern Alaska. Four stratigraphic sections along about 70 miles of the front of the northeastern Brooks Range east of the Canning giver were examined and sampled in detail in 1968. These sections and six-step spectrographic...
