Stratigraphy of an archeological site, Ocmulgee flood plain, Macon, Georgia
Oliver J. Cosner
1973, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-54
Archeological excavations on the Ocmulgee River flood plain at Ocmulgee National Monument revealed eight sedimentary units of Holocene age. Types of deposits found are natural levee, oberbank deposit, and a probable point bar. Since the 18th century, locally more than 10 feet of sediment has been deposited. These modern sediments...
Analog-model studies of the effects of recharge wells along the Houston Ship Channel on potentiometric surfaces of the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, Houston, Texas
D. G. Jorgensen
1973, Open-File Report 73-138
Because of increasing concern about the continuing decline of water levels in the Houston area, an electric analog model was used to determine the effects on the potentiometric surfaces resulting from recharging water through wells along the Houston Ship Channel into the two major aquifers, the Chicot and Evangeline.The model...

Ground-water hydrology of northern Napa Valley, California
Robert E. Faye
1973, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-13
The alluvium of northern Napa Valley is the principal aquifer of the area and is capable of yielding as much as 3,000 gallons per minute to wells. Generally the larger-yielding wells are along the Napa River where the alluvium is thickest and most permeable. Recharge to the alluvium is chiefly...

Water resources outlook for the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Metropolitan Area, Minnesota
R.F. Norvitch, T.G. Ross, Alex Brietkrietz
1973, Open-File Report 73-203
The water resources were studied within an area whose natural ground-water flow is largely towards the center of the metropolitan area. This area coincides with the extent of the Hinckley Sandstone aquifer. Thus, the general geohydrology of the area bounded by the extent of the Hinckley Sandstone (about 6,000 square...
Puerto Rico water resources planning model program description

1973, Open-File Report 73-193
Because the use of the Mathematical Programming System -Extended (MPSX) to solve large linear and mixed integer programs requires the preparation of many input data cards, a matrix generator program to produce the MPSX input data from a much more limited set of data may expedite the use of the...
Handbook for Federal Insurance Administration: Flood-insurance studies
E.J. Kennedy
1973, Open-File Report 73-142
A flood insurance study, made for the Federal Insurance Administration (FIA) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is an analysis of flood inundation frequency for all flood plains within the corporate limits of the community being studied. The study is an application of surveying, hydrology, and hydraulics...
A plan for study of water resources in the Platte River basin, Nebraska: with special emphasis on the stream-aquifer relations
C.F. Keech, J.E. Moore, P. A. Emery
1973, Open-File Report 73-139
A "Level B" study is being made of the Platte River basin in Nebraska. The basin (approximately 40,800 square miles) extends the full length of the State, a distance of nearly 470 miles. The study is a Federal and State interagency effort to formulate a comprehensive plan for the conservation,...

Hydrology and sediment transport, Moanalua Valley, Oahu, Hawaii
B.L. Jones, C.J. Ewart
1973, Open-File Report 73-134
The first 2 years of intensive data collection in Moanalua Valley have resulted in some observations concerning the rainfall-runoff and rainfall-sedimentation characteristics of the basin.This initial study period has been concerned primarily with establishing a reliable hydrologic data-collection network. However, enough data have been collected to determine that rainfall within...
