Computation of water-surface profiles in open channels
Jacob Davidian
1984, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-A15
The standard step-backwater method of computing water-surface profiles is described in this chapter. The hydraulic principles and assumptions are reviewed, and the field data requirements are described. Certain special cases of backwater curves and certain special field conditions are discussed in detail. The technique is used to establish or extend...

Mapping of forested wetland: Use of seasat radar images to complement conventional sources
John L. Place
1984, Open-File Report 84-312
Distinguishing forested wetland from dry forest using aerial photographs has been handicapped because photographs often do not reveal the presence of water below the tree canopies. Images obtained during the summer months of 1978 by the Seasat satellite's L-band (23-cm) radar reveal forested wetland as patterns of high radar reflection in the Atlantic coastal...
