The drainage and glacial history of the Still River Valley, southwestern Connecticut
Woodrow B. Thompson
1971, Open-File Report 71-283
The Still River is located in southwestern Connecticut. From its origin on the New York border, it passes through Danbury and flows northward to its junction with the Housatonic River in New Milford. Interpretation of the Still River's history is based on its surficial geology and bedrock topography. High bedrock...
Ground water for irrigation in the Brooten-Belgrade area, west-central Minnesota
Wayne A. Van Voast
1971, Water Supply Paper 1899-E
Water for irrigation is needed to improve crop yields from sandy soils in the Brooten-Belgrade area. Ground-water supplies of sufficient quantity and suitable quality for irrigation are available in much of the area. Quaternary glacial drift, as much as 300 feet thick, is underlain by Precambrian crystalline rocks and possibly by...

Saul Edward Rantz
1971, Open-File Report 71-341
This report presents basic criteria, in the form of tables and graphs, for each of the four methods of hydrologic design most commonly used in the San Francisco Bay region--flood-frequency analysis, Rational Method, unit-hydrograph method, and runoff simulation by means of hydrologic basin modeling. The term "hydrologic design" as used...

The Modesto-Merced area is in the northeastern part of the San Joaquin Valley. The area includes about 1,800 square miles that lie in the eastern portions of Merced and Stanislaus Counties. Specifically the boundaries are: North, the Stanislaus River; south, the Merced-Madera County line; east, the Merced-Mariposa and the Stanislaus-Tuolumne...
The relation of turbulence to diffusion in open-channel flows
Thomas N. Keefer
1971, Open-File Report 72-206
This investigation examines the interrelation between turbulent diffusion, dispersion, and the statistical properties of turbulence in an open-channel flow. The experiments were conducted in a 3. 87- foot wide flume over four boundary roughnesses. The results are from studies made of: (1) the influence of turbulence on the vertical and...

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...

Hydrologic data for Horseshoe Lake, Arkansas and vicinity
A. G. Lamonds
1971, Open-File Report 71-177
During the summer and fall, seepage and evaporation losses from Horseshoe Lake, an oxbow or an 'old river' lake adjacent to the Mississippi River, exceed inflow to the lake, and seasonal declines of 2.5-3.0 feet in the lake level are common. In exceptionally dry years, the minimum lake level has...

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...

Impact breccias in carbonate rocks, Sierra Madera, Texas
H. G. Wilshire, Keith A. Howard, Terry W. Offield
1971, GSA Bulletin (82) 1009-1018
Two main types of deformational breccia occur in the Sierra Madera cryptoexplosion structure: monolithologic breccias composed of shattered rock of a single lithology and mixed breccias composed of rocks of several lithologies. Monolithologic breccias generally show no mineralogic signs of shock deformation, but a few samples are shatter-coned in a...
Tertiary igneous chronology of the Great Basin of western United States — Implications for tectonic models
Edwin H. McKee
1971, Bulletin of the Geological Society of America (82) 3497-3501
The chronology of igneous activity in the Great Basin of western United States is used as a time framework for a simple plate model. This chronology suggests that a plate (Farallon plate) became underthrust to sufficient depth by the middle Tertiary to trigger the eruption...
Ground-water pumpage in parts of Merced, Madera, Fresno, Kings, and Tulare Counties, California, 1962-66
Hugh T. Mitten, William Ogilbee
1971, Report
Quantitative estimates of ground-water pumpage from the principal ground-water basins in California are necessary for future appraisal studies, for constructing hydrologic models, and for systematic planning of water use and conservation. Methods of estimating pumpage for this report are based on metered pumpages, on electric-power consumption and fuel consumption by...
Tectonics of the Mendocino triple junction
Eli A. Silver
1971, Bulletin of the Geological Society of America (82) 2965-2977
Interpretation of reflection profiles and of the magnetic anomaly pattern over the Gorda Basin and Escarpment gives broad agreement with the triple junction model of McKenzie and Morgan (1969). However, the basin has undergone internal deformation, a local departure from rigid plate tectonics, and the...
