V.J. Latkovich
1979, Open-File Report 79-1583
The intense thunderstorm of July 5-6, 1978, caused record flooding on the South Fork Zumbro River at Rochester, Minnesota. The peak discharge on July 6 was 30,500 cubic feet per second compared with 19,600 cubic feet per second for the flood of March 1965, which was the largest previously known....
Seepage study for unnamed tributary to Alder Creek, Stevens County, Washington
P.J. Carpenter, B. W. Drost
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-33
Analysis of seepage measurements in the Alder Creek basin, Stevens County, Wash., shows that approximately 50% of 0.2 cubic foot per second taken from an unnamed tributary and used for the 1978 irrigation season would have reached Alder Creek as surface flow. Differences in discharge and specific conductance are explained...
