Compilation of data for Michigan lakes
J. B. Miller, Ted Thompson
1970, Open-File Report 70-227
Michigan's more than 11,000 lakes are a valuable resource. Primarily, they are used for recreation but many have potential for industrial use and for water supply. Lakes have water surfaces ·that expand and decrease in area, and levels that rise and fall. Records of lakes levels show that lake stages...
Determination of the manning coefficient from measured bed roughness in natural channels
John Thomas Limerinos
1970, Water Supply Paper 1898-B
This report presents the results of a study to test the hypothesis that basic values of the Manning roughness coefficient of stream channels may be related to (1) some characteristic size of the streambed particles and to (2) the distribution of particle size. These two elements involving particle size can...
Study and interpretation of the chemical characteristics of natural water
John David Hem
1970, Water Supply Paper 1473
The chemical composition of natural water is derived from many different sources of solutes, including gases and aerosols from the atmosphere, weathering and erosion of rocks and soil, solution or precipitation reactions occurring below the land surface, and cultural effects resulting from activities of man. Some of the processes of...
Fluvial sediment concepts
Harold P. Guy
1970, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-C1
This report is the first of a series concerned with the measurement of and recording of information about fluvial sediment and with related environmental data needed to maintain and improve basic sediment knowledge. Concepts presented in this report involve (1) the physical characteristics of sediment which include aspects relative 'to...
Hydrologic effects of floodwater-retarding structures on Garza-Little Elm Reservoir, Texas
Clarence R. Gilbert, Stanley P. Sauer
1970, Water Supply Paper 1984
The Texas District of the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey has collected and analyzed hydrologic data since 1953 to define the effects of systems of floodwater-retarding structures on downstream water and sediment yield. The district project includes 11 study areas ranging from 18 to 80 square miles...
A proposed streamflow data program for Michigan
P.C. Bent
1970, Open-File Report 70-25
An evaluation of the streamflow data available in Michigan was made to provide guidelines for planning future water resource programs. The basic steps in the evaluation procedure were (1) definition of the long-term goals of the streamflow data program in quantitative form, (2) examination and analysis of all available data...
A strategy for the geologic exploration of the planets
M. H. Carr
1970, Circular 640
The geology of the planets bears directly on three basic aims of lunar and planetary exploration: determination of the origin and evolution of the solor system; determination of the origin and evolution of life; and clarification of the nature of the processes shaping man's terrestrial environment (National Academy of Sciences, 1966...
Hydrographic and sedimentation survey of Kajakai Reservoir, Afghanistan
Don C. Perkins, James K. Culbertson
1970, Water Supply Paper 1608-M
A hydrographic and sedimentation survey of Band-e Kajakai (Kajakai Reservoir) on the Darya-ye Hirmand (Helmand River) was carried out during the period September through December 1968. Underwater mapping techniques were used to determine the reservoir capacity as of 1968. Sediment range lines were established and monumented to facilitate future sedimentation...
Hydrologic implications of solid-water disposal
William Joseph Schneider
1970, Circular 601-F
The disposal of more than 1,400 million pounds of solid wastes in the United States each day is a major problem. This disposal in turn often leads to serious health, esthetic, and environmental problems. Among these is the pollution of vital ground-water resources. Of the six principal methods of solid-waste disposal...
Methods and applications of electrical simulation in ground-water studies in the lower Arkansas and Verdigris River Valleys, Arkansas and Oklahoma
M. S. Bedinger, J.E. Reed, C.J. Wells, B.F. Swafford
1970, Water Supply Paper 1971
The Arkansas River Multiple-Purpose Plan will provide year-round navigation on the Arkansas River from near its mouth to Muskogee, Okla., and on the Verdigris River from Muskogee to Catoosa, Okla. The altered regimen in the Arkansas and Verdigris Rivers will affect ground-water conditions in the adjacent alluvial aquifers. In 1957...
Floods of December 1966 in southwestern Utah
Elmer Butler, J. C. Mundorff
1970, Water Supply Paper 1870-A
Severe floods occurred in parts of southwestern Utah on December 5-6, 1966, as a result of precipitation of about 1 inch to more than 12 inches during December 3-6. The flood on the Virgin River was the greatest since the first settlers arrived in 1860.The peak discharge of the Virgin...
