Floods in the summer of 1971 in south-central Alaska
Robert D. Lamke
1972, Open-File Report 72-215
Floods and high water occurred throughout the summer of 1971 in south-central Alaska. Snow cover, 150 percent of average, in the mountains on May 1 caused local snowmelt floods from mid-May to mid-July. The peak discharge of 265,000 cfs (cubic feet per second) on July 15 at Copper River near...

Geology and water resources of the Bitterroot Valley, southwestern Montana, with a section on chemical quality of water
R. G. McMurtrey, Richard L. Konizeski, M. V. Johnson, John H. Bartells, H. A. Swenson
1972, Water Supply Paper 1889
The Bitterroot Valley is a Late Cretaceous structural basin that was partly filled at its deepest point by more than 1,640 feet of Tertiary sediments. These sediments grade valleyward from coarse colluvial deposits along the edges of the valley to fine-grained deposits and then to coarse channel deposits of the...

Artificial recharge in the upper Santa Ana Valley, southern California
Joe A. Moreland
1972, Open-File Report 72-261
Artificial recharge has long been an integral part of water-supply management in the upper Santa Ana Valley. About 7,500 acres of unlined channels and 2,590 acres in 60 off-channel recharge facilities are available for water spreading.To estimate potential infiltration rates for the recharge facilities, 63 single-ring infiltrometer tests were conducted...

Effects of acid mine drainage on fish and macroinvertebrates of the Tioga River, Pennsylvania and New York
James L. Barker
1972, Open-File Report 72-14
Acid water from abandoned coal mines in the vicinity of Morris Run and Blossburg, Pa., severely alter the aquatic environment of the Tioga River. From Morris Run to Crooked Creek, a reach of 19 miles, the river bed is influenced by a smothering blanket of heavy metal precipitates and highly...
Regional draft-storage relationships for central and western Upper Peninsula of Michigan
L.E. Stoimenoff
1972, Open-File Report 72-362
Regional draft-storage relationships for central and western Upper Peninsula of Michigan are presented in this report. Storage requirements for the 5- and 20-year recurrence intervals were determined using the frequency-mass curve method and daily discharge records from 15 gaging stations. The relationships will be useful in making preliminary estimates of...
An inventory of published and unpublished fluvial-sediment data for California, 1956-70
George Porterfield
1972, Open-File Report 72-300
This inventory was prepared to provide a convenient reference to published and unpublished fluvial-sediment data for water years 1956-70, and updates substantially previous inventories. Sediment stations are listed in downstream order, and an alphabetical list of stations is also included. Figure 1 shows the approximate location of sediment stations in...
Records of water-level measurements in wells in the Oklahoma panhandle, 1966-70
Donald L. Hart Jr.
1972, Open-File Report 71-344
Investigations of the ground-water resources of the Oklahoma panhandle by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board includes collection of water-level records; the systematic collection of these records began in 1937. Records of many shallow wells were compiled in 1937 and periodic measurements were made...

Ground-water levels in observation wells in Oklahoma, 1969-70
R.L. Moore
1972, Open-File Report 72-463
The investigation of the ground-water resources of Oklahoma by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board includes a continuing program to collect records of water levels in selected observation wells on a systematic basis. These water-level records: (1) provide an index to available ground-water supplies;...

An evaluation of water-quality records for Texas streams
J.F. Blakey, R.O. Hawkinson, T.D. Steele
1972, Open-File Report 72-37
Chemical data for 12 streamflow-sampling stations in Texas, each having from 8 to 24 years of available historical records, were analyzed to determine functional relationships between concentrations of the major inorganic constituents and specific conductance or stream discharge. Regression equations for each station were derived by using data for an...
Factors contributing to unusually low runoff during the period 1962-68 in the Concho River Basin, Texas
Stanley P. Sauer
1972, Water Supply Paper 1999-L
To determine the reasons for the unusually low runoff in the Concho River basin during the period 1962-68, the physical developments and climatic changes in the basin were identified and related to changes in the regimen of streamflow. Land use, brush infestation, and land-treatment practices have not caused significant changes in...

Appraisal of stream sedimentation in the Susquehanna River basin
Kenneth F. Williams, Lloyd A. Reed
1972, Water Supply Paper 1532-F
The Susquehanna River presently transports about 3.0 million tons of sediment annually (110 tons per square mile). Only about 1.8 million tons of sediment enters the head of Chesapeake Bay annually because some sediment is trapped behind the power dams on the lower Susquehanna. Measured annual sediment yields from subbasins...
Tracer simulation study of potential solute movement in Port Royal Sound, South Carolina
F. A. Kilpatrick, T. Ray Cummings
1972, Water Supply Paper 1586-J
A tracer study was conducted in Port Royal Sound to simulate the movement and ultimate pattern of concentration of a solute continuously injected into the flow. A total of 750 pounds of Rhodamine WT dye was injected by boat during a period of 24.8 hours in a line across the...
Summary of floods in the United States during 1967
J.O. Rostvedt
1972, Water Supply Paper 1880-C
This report describes the most outstanding floods in the United States during 1967. The two most destructive floods occurred in August in east-central Alaska and in September and October in southern Texas. In east-central Alaska, heavy rain on August 8-17 produced record-breaking floods near Fairbanks. Peak discharges on some streams...
Geohydrologic summary of the Pearl River basin, Mississippi and Louisiana
Joseph W. Lang
1972, Water Supply Paper 1899-M
Fresh water in abundance is contained in large artesian reservoirs in sand and gravel deposits of Tertiary and Quaternary ages in the Pearl River basin, a watershed of 8,760 square miles. Shallow, water-table reservoirs occur in Quarternary deposits (Pleistocene and Holocene) that blanket most of the uplands in .the southern...

Charles Richard Murray, E. Bodette Reeves
1972, Circular 676
Estimates of water use in the United States in 1970 indicate that an average of about 370 bgd (billion gallons per day)about 1,800 gallons per capita per day--was withdrawn for the four principal off-channel uses which are (1) public-supply (for domestic, commercial, and industrial uses), (2) rural (domestic and livestock),...
