Relation of channel slope to reaeration of Michigan streams
T. Ray Cummings
1973, Open-File Report 73-54
Reaeration coefficients (k2), which are rate constants for the process of oxygen absorption from the atmosphere, have been computed for Michigan's streams using an equation developed by Bennett and Rathbun (1972). Mean velocity and mean depth data, which are necessary for the computation, have been extracted from discharge measurements made...
Extent and frequency of floods on the Schuylkill River near Phoenixville and Pottstown, Pennsylvania
William F. Busch, Lewis C. Shaw
1973, Open-File Report 73-37
Knowledge of the frequency and extent of flooding is an important requirement for the design of all works of man bordering or encroaching on flood plains. The proper design of bridges, culverts, dams, highways, levees, reservoirs, sewage-disposal systems, waterworks and all structures on the flood plains of streams requires careful...
A network for continuous monitoring of water quality in the Sabine River basin, Texas and Louisiana
J.F. Blakey, P.W. Skinner
1973, Open-File Report 73-25
The proposed water-quality network for the Sabine River Basin of Texas and Louisiana consists of nine monitoring stations, a central control station, a slave-central station, and a leased-line telecommunications system. This monitoring network would provide continuous transmission of water-quality data to the office of the water manager. Level I operations at...
Roughness coefficients for stream channels in Arizona
B. N. Aldridge, J.M. Garrett
1973, Open-File Report 73-3
When water flows in an open channel, energy is lost through friction along the banks and bed of the channel and through turbulence within the channel. The amount of energy lost is governed by channel roughness, which is expressed in terms of a roughness coefficient. An evaluation of the roughness...
Fluvial sediment characteristics of the Kansas River at Wamego, Kansas, 1957-70

1973, Open-File Report 73-2
Fluvial-sediment samples have been collected from the Kansas River at Wamego from 1957-70 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Kansas Water Resources Board. During this period. the stream-runoff pattern of the basin has been altered by constructions of Tuttle Creek and Milford Reservoirs. An analysis of data shows...
Puerto Rico water resources planning model program description
D.W. Moody, Thomas Maddock, M.R. Karlinger, J.J. Lloyd
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...
Mercury in the Carson and Truckee River basins of Nevada
A. S. Van Denburgh
1973, Open-File Report 73-352
Upstream from major pre-1900 ore milling in the Carson and Truckee River basins, "background" concentrations of total mercury in the upper 1 to 3 inches of sand- to clay-sized stream-bottom sediment are less than 0.1 ug/g (microgram per gram). Downstream, measured concentrations were as much as 200 times the background...
