Streamflow generalization in an area of the central United States
I. C. James II
1968, Open-File Report 68-145
Streamflow records of a sample of 41 natural flow stations in an area of the Central Plains were analyzed by electronic computer for the statistics of annual high-flow and low-flow volumes, flow duration, and monthly- and annual-flow discharges. Peak discharges and high- and low-flow volumes for different durations were computed...

Monthly surface-water inflow to Chesapeake Bay
Conrad D. Bue
1968, Open-File Report 68-29
This report presents a convenient and rapid means of estimating, on either a monthly or a yearly basis, the inflow from surface streams to Chesapeake Bay. The method was developed as a working base for the release entitled "Estimated stream discharge entering Chesapeake Bay" prepared by the U. S. Geological...
Geologic interpretation of reconnaissance aeromagnetic survey of northeastern Alaska
W. P. Brosge, E. E. Brabb, E. R. King
1968, Open-File Report 68-23
Aeromagnetic surveys of Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 (Woolson and others, 1962) and of a 900-square-mile area near Fairbands (Andreasen and others, 1964) are the only published aeromagnetic reports on northeastern Alaska.Several total intensity aeromagnetic profiles, primarily over the Yukon Flats in the central part of the area shown on...
Determination of channel capacity of the Merced River downstream from Merced Falls Dam, Merced County, California
J. C. Blodgett, G.L. Bertoldi
1968, Open-File Report 68-13
This study evaluates the adequacy of a reach of the Merced River between Merced Falls and the confluence with the San Joaquin River to carry flood releases from New Exchequer and McSwain Dams and Reservoirs. The flood release from these reservoirs is to be restricted so that flows will not...
Evaporation study at Warm Springs Reservoir, Oregon
D.D. Harris
1968, Report
The mass transfer-water budget method of computing reservoir evaporation was tested on Warm Springs Reservoir, whose contents and surface area change greatly from early spring to late summer. The mass-transfer coefficient computed for the reservoir is two to three times greater than expected and results in a computed evaporation much...
Analog simulation of ground-water development of the Saginaw Formation, Lansing metropolitan area, Michigan
K.E. Vanlier, M.L. Wheeler
1968, Report
This report was prepared as a part of the study of the water resources of Clinton, Eaton and Ingham Counties being made for the Tri-County Planning Commission by the Water Resources Division of the U. S. Geological Survey. The report describes one phase of the investigation, that is, the projections...
Flood of June 7, 1967, in the Wapsinonoc Creek Basin, Iowa
Harlan H. Schwob
1968, Open-File Report 68-B
An outstanding flood occurred in the Wapsinonoc Creek basin in east-central Iowa on June 7, 1967. The flood was the result of rainfall totaling from 4 to 13 inches in about 14 hours on the night of June 6 and the morning of June 7. The storm was nearly centered...
Floods in Maline Creek Basin, St. Louis County, Missouri
Donald W. Spencer, Leland D. Hauth
1968, Report
The rapid growth of suburban St. Louis presents problems in the economic development of flood plains within the area. The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District has a project to study the hydrology of five major drainage basins within the area of responsibility of...
Water-supply problems in southwest Florida
Durward H. Boggess
1968, Open-File Report FL 68-003
Water-supply problems in southwest Florida are largely related to the quality, or deterioration in the quality of the water, rather than to the quantity of water available. When we consider that the abundant supply of water visible at the surface is only a fraction of the quantity stored in the...
A distinction between bedrock and unconsolidated deposits on 3-5u infrared imagery of the Yellowstone rhyolite plateau
Robert L. Christiansen
1968, Open-File Report 68-34
Infrared imagery covering most of Yellowstone National Park was obtained in August 1966, by H. R. B. Singer Company, using the Reconofax IV system in an aircraft flying at about 20,000 feet. This imagery has been examined in order to evaluate the geologic information it contains in relation to a...

Techniques for computing rate and volume of stream depletion by wells
C.T. Jenkins
1967, Report
The effects on flow of a nearby stream from pumping a well can be calculated readily using dimensionless curves and tables. Computations can be made of: (1) The rate of stream depletion at any time during the pumping period or after the cessation of pumping; (2) The volume induced from...
