Movement of moisture in the unsaturated zone in a loess-mantled area, southwestern Kansas
Robert C. Prill
1977, Professional Paper 1021
A study of moisture movement associated with ponding near Garden City, Kansas, indicates that loess-manted areas have excellent potential for artificial recharge by water spreading. Infiltration stabilized at rates ranging from 0.7 to 2.2 feet (0.2 to 0.7 meter) per day reflecting changes in hydraulic conductivity of soil horizons. Results...

Stream simulation in an analog model of the ground-water system on Long Island, New York
Arlen W. Harbaugh, Rufus T. Getzen
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-58
The stream circuits of an electric analog model of the ground-water system of Long Island were modified to more accurately represent the relationahip between streamflow and ground-water levels. Assumptions for use of the revised circuits are (1) that streams are strictly gaining, and (2) that ground-water seepage into the streams...

In 1975, the 169 municipalities and 5 county water systems listed in this report supplied 1.037 million gallons of water each day, on the average to 77 percent of the population of the State of Florida. The quantity of water supplied represented 90 percent of the State's public water supply...
Graded layering in the Al Hadah pluton near At Ta'if, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Donald G. Hadley, William R. Greenwood
1977, Open-File Report 77-594
To assess urban storm-water-quality characteristics in the metropolitan area of Portland, Oreg., seven drainage basins were selected with varying drainage areas, basin slopes, impervious areas, land uses, and active construction areas. Automatic water-quality samplers, rain gages, and stream gages were installed in each basin. From September 1, 1975, to May...

Techniques for Estimating Flood-Depth Frequency Relations on Natural Streams in Georgia
McGlone Price
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-90
Regional relations are defined for estimating the depth of floods having recurrence intervals of 10, 50, and 100 years on streams with natural flow in Georgia. Multiple-regression analysis of station data is used to define the relations between flood depths and frequency for streams draining from 1 to 1,000 square miles,...

Initial assessment of the ground-water resources in the Monterey Bay region, California
K. S. Muir
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-46
The Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) has been designated as the areawide waste-treatment-management planning agency for the Monterey Bay region under Sec. 208 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 (Public Law 92-500). Sec. 208 establishes the authority and responsibility of the designated local agency...
Algal conditions and the potential for future algal problems in the Willamette River, Oregon
David A. Rickert, R.R. Petersen, S. W. McKenzie, W. G. Hines, S.A. Wille
1977, Circular 715-G
For nearly half a century the Willamette River in Oregon experienced severe dissolved-oxygen problems related to large loads of organically rich waste waters from industries and municipalities. Since the mid-1950 's dissolved oxygen quality has gradually improved owing to low-flow augmentation, the achievement of basinwide secondary treatment, and the use...
Ground water in the Fresno area, California
K. S. Muir
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-59
The Fresno area of California uses about 140,000 acre-feet of ground water a year for municipal and domestic purposes. An average of 2,000,000 acre-feet of water a year is pumped for irrigation. Major sources of recharge are deep penetration of irrigation water (80 percent) and seepage from canals, rivers, and...
