The Loma Prieta, California, Earthquake of October 17, 1989 — Hydrologic disturbances
Stuart A. Rojstaczer, editor(s)
1994, Professional Paper 1551-E
Seismic events have long been known to cause changes in the level of oceans, streams, lakes, and the water table. The great San Francisco earthquake of 1906 induced significant hydrologic changes that were qualitatively similar to those changes observed for the Loma Prieta earthquake. What is different is that the...

Floodflow effects on riparian vegetation in Arizona
J. V. Phillips, H. W. Hjalmarson
1994, Conference Paper, Proceedings - National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering
A relation for estimating changes in the condition of riparian vegetation as a function of stream power was developed for stream channels in central Arizona. Flood and vegetation data were collected from 13 flows at 11 sites. Stream power was computed at cross sections and plotted against the average height...

Problems with indirect determinations of peak streamflows in steep, desert stream channels
Patrick A. Glancy, Rhea P. Williams
1994, Conference Paper, Proceedings - National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering
Many peak streamflow values used in flood analyses for desert areas are derived using the Manning equation. Data used in the equation are collected after the flow has subsided, and peak flow is thereby determined indirectly. Most measurement problems and associated errors in peak-flow determinations result from (1) channel erosion...
