Water-quality data from five Oregon stream basins
Timothy L. Miller
1979, Open-File Report 79-1535
The U.S. Geological Survey collected water-quality data in five Oregon stream basins during summer low-flow conditions in 1977 and 1978. During the two sampling periods, a total of 18 different sites were sampled. Several sites were sampled twice in 1977, and some sites were sampled in both 1977 and 1978....
Sediment discharge and channel change in the North Fork Teton River, 1977-78, Fremont and Madison counties, Idaho
Rhea P. Williams
1979, Open-File Report 79-1335
The Teton Dam failure flood of June 5, 1976, severely disrupted the geomorphic character of North Fork Teton River in Idaho. Extensive channel restoration was required to contain expected normal spring flows. Six principal sites were established on the 17-mile reach of the river to study sediment transport and channel...
Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Pecatonica-Sugar River basin, Wisconsin

1979, Open-File Report 79-1274-Pecatonica River, Sugar River
The purpose of this report is to describe low-flow characteristics of streams in the Pecatonica-Sugar River basin, Wisconsin, where streamflow data have been collected, and to present equations for estimating low-flow characteristics at ungaged sites. Low-flow characteristics were estimated for 11 gaging stations, 25 low-flow partial-record stations, and 207 miscellaneous sites...
