User's guide for U.S. Geological Survey rainfall-runoff models; revised 1977
Philip Hadley Carrigan Jr., David E. Bower, G.R. Dempster
1977, Open-File Report 77-884
Modified versions of the rainfall-runoff model described by Dawdy, Lichty, and Bergmann (1972) (see W72-11754) are used in the U.S. Geological Survey as a means of synthesizing flood discharges for small drainage areas. Synthesized flood discharges derived through use of long-term (60-70 year) rainfall and evaporation data, provide a more...
Background studies for appraising subsidence in the Texas Gulf Coast region
B. E. Lofgren
1977, Open-File Report 77-412
Significant ground movement has accompanied the extraction of large quantities of fluids from the subsurface at many localities. The possibility of both horizontal and vertical ground movement--subsidence, fissuring, growth faulting--in the Gulf Coast region, caused by the withdrawal of large volumes of deep formation fluids, is of major concern.Although widespread...
