Effect of urban development on floods in the Piedmont Province of North Carolina
Arthur L. Putnam
1972, Open-File Report 72-304
This report relates peak discharges for recurrence intervals ranging up to 100 years to drainage area, stream length, stream slope, and percent of basin covered by impervious surfaced. The relations are based on analysis of flood information for approximately 200 sites, 42 of which are in metropolitan areas of the...
Reconnaissance of the Manistee River, a cold-water river in the northwestern part of Michigan's Southern Peninsula
G. E. Hendrickson, C. J. Doonan
1972, Hydrologic Atlas 436
The cold-water streams of the northern states provide unique recreational values to the American people (wilderness or semi-wilderness atmosphere, fast-water canoeing, trout fishing), but expanding recreational needs must be balanced against the growing demand of water for public and industrial supplies, irrigation, and dilution of sewage and other wastes. In...

Measurement of salt-wedge excursion distance in the Duwamish River Estuary, Seattle, Washington, by means of the dissolved-oxygen gradient
William A. Dawson, L. J. Tilley
1972, Water Supply Paper 1873-D
The Duwamish River estuary has been the object of a series of comprehensive studies undertaken to predict the effects of the changing character of waste-water inputs on the water quality of the estuary. This report discusses the fresh- and salt-water relations of the estuary. The distance that the salt-water wedge...
Map showing springs in the Salina quadrangle, Utah
1972, IMAP 591-G
A spring is “a place where, without the agency of man, water flows from a rock or soil upon the land or into a body of surface water” (Meinzer, 1923, p. 48).About 450 springs are located on this map. Locations and names are from the U.S. Forest Service maps (1963,...
Surface water map of the Salina quadrangle, Utah
Harry R. Covington, Paul L. Williams
1972, IMAP 591-F
This map shows streamflow measured in acre-feet (1 acre-foot Is the amount of water that would cover an area of one acre to a depth of one foot – 43,560 cubic feet or about 326,700 gallons). Streamflow is measured and recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey at gaging stations located...

Reconnaissance engineering geology of the Haines area, Alaska, with emphasis on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards
Richard Walter Lemke, Lynn A. Yehle
1972, Open-File Report 72-229
The Alaska earthquake of March 27, 1964, brought into sharp focus the need for engineering geologic studies in urban areas. Study of the Haines area constitutes an integral part of an overall program to evaluate earthquake and other geologic hazards in most of the larger Alaska coastal communities. The evaluations...
Regional and other general factors bearing on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards to coastal communities of southeastern Alaska
Richard Walter Lemke, Lynn A. Yehle
1972, Open-File Report 72-230
The great Alaska earthquake of March 27, 1964, brought into sharp focus the need for engineering geologic studies in seismically active regions. As a result, nine communities in southeastern Alaska were selected for reconnaissance investigations as an integral part of an overall program to evaluate earthquake and other geologic hazards...
