Technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Texas
E.E. Schroeder, B.C. Massey
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-110
Drainage area, slope, and mean annual precipitation were the only factors that were statistically significant at the 95-percent confidence level when the characteristics of the drainage basins were used as independent variables in a multiple-regression flood-frequency analysis of natural, unregulated streams in Texas. The State was divided into six regions...

Selected water-level records for western Oklahoma, 1975-1976
Robert L. Goemaat
1977, Open-File Report 77-239
A systematic program to collect water-level records in Oklahoma began in 1937. The objectives of this program are (1) to provide long-term records of water-level fluctuations in representative wells, (2) to facilitate the prediction of water-level trends and indicate future availability of ground-water supplies, and (3) to provide information for...

1977, Open-File Report 77-528
A brief text describes the two major aquifers and the discharge pattern of major streams on Long Island. Four water-table maps for the years 1943, 1959, 1966, and 1972, an average water-table map for the period 1943-72 supplemented by five well hydrographs representing Kings, Queens, western Nassau, eastern Nassau, and...

Ground-water investigations at U.S. Air Force Launch Control Facility E-0, Ramsey County, North Dakota
P.G. Randich
1977, Open-File Report 77-619
U.S. Air Force Launch Control Facility E-0 is located in Ramsey County, North Dakota. Geohydrologic and water-quality data indicate that the fractured Pierre Shale is the only aquifer in the vicinity of the facility that will supply acceptable water at the required rate of 5 gallons per minute (0.32 liters...

Water resources inventory of northwest Florida
J.E. Dysart, C.A. Pascale, Henry Trapp
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-84
Water resources of the 16 counties of the northwest Florida appear adequate unitl at least 2020. In the 4 westernmost counties, the sand-and-gravel aquifer and streams combined could provide 2,200 to 3,600 million gallons per day of water. Streams outside these counties could provide 5,600 million gallons per day. The...
Sources of emergency water supplies in Santa Clara County, California

1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-51
Water distribution systems in Santa Clara County, Calif., may be damaged and rendered inoperable by a large earthquake or other disaster. In such an event, individual agencies may have to implement emergency measures to supply water for drinking, firefighting, decontamination, or other purposes. In Santa Clara County, 128 wells have...

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...

1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-47
The principal source of freshwater that has been developed in the Riviera Beach area is the so-called shallow aquifer, which is composed of sand, shells, sandstone, limestone, marl, and occasionally clay strata. Often a stratum contains mixtures of two or more of these materials and occasionally they are cemented. The...
Analyses of water, core material, and elutriate samples collected near Buras, Louisiana (New Orleans to Venice, Louisiana, Hurricane Protection Project)

1977, Open-File Report 77-310
Eight core-material-sampling sites were chosen by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as possible borrow areas for fill material to be used in levee contruction near Buras, La. Eleven receiving-water sites also were selected to represent the water that will contact the porposed levees. Analyses of selected nutrients, metals, pesticides,...

Application of a rainfall-runoff model in estimating flood peaks for selected small natural drainage basins in Texas
B.C. Massey, Elmer E. Schroeder
1977, Open-File Report 77-792
A parametric rainfall-runoff simulation model was used to synthesize long-term records of annual peak discharges for small natural drainage basins in Texas. Optimum model-parameter values were determined for each of the 40 basins studied by using short-term rainfall, evaporation, and discharge data. The calibrated model was used in conjunction with...
