K.M. Nolan, B. R. Hill
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4130
High sediment loads below headwater areas of the Permanente Creek drainage basin, Santa Clara County, California, have caused flood-control problems in downstream lowland areas. Measured sediment yields in Permanente Creek, which drains areas affected by limestone quarrying and cement-plant operations, were 14 times greater than yields from the West Fork...

Cost-effectiveness of the streamflow-gaging program in Minnesota
T. A. Winterstein, A.D. Arntson
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4129
A three-step analysis of the cost-effectiveness of the streamflow-gaging program in Minnesota is documented in this report. In the first step of the analysis, the data uses and funding sources were identified for the 96 continuous-record streamflow-gaging stations operated in 1985. Nineteen sources of funding and 42 uses were identified for...
