Hydrology and sedimentation of Corey Creek and Elk Run basins, north-central Pennsylvania
Lloyd A. Reed
1971, Water Supply Paper 1532-E
Analysis of data collected from two small agricultural basins in northcehtral Pennsylvania during the period May 1954 to September 1967 indicates that conservation measures reduced the quantity of suspended sediment leaving the Corey Creek basin as a result of frequent storms during the growing season. Extensive soil conservation treatments were...
Analysis of stream-temperature variations in the Upper Delaware River Basin, New York
Owen O. Williams
1971, Water Supply Paper 1999-K
The effect of climatologic conditions and reservoir releases on downstream conditions was determined by means of statistical and graphical analyses of stream-temperature variations measured in the upper Delaware River basin, May-September 1964-67. Climatologic conditions normally increase water temperatures from February through July and decrease them from August through January. Summer...
Distribution of copper, lead, zinc, mercury, and arsenic in the surface sediments off the coast of northwestern Alaska
Peter Barnes, Kam Wo Leong
1971, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 316
Increasing interest in potentially harmful substances utilized and discarded by man has raised question about the normal distribution of chemical elements in the natural environment. This interest prompted a baseline study of a pristine region off the northern coast of Alaska. Information was gathered on currents, water clarity, nutrients, temperature...
Transmission of digital data
Charles R. Showen
1971, Open-File Report 72-347
The Geological Survey, Water Resources Division, established a pilot project to evaluate equipment that would transmit date recorded on 16-channel paper tapes over voice-grade telephone lines from field offices to the Washington, D.C., Automatic Data Processing Unit (A.D.P. Unit). Such equipment would allow computer-processed data for current-purpose hydrologic data stations...
Municipal and industrial wastewater loading in the San Francisco Bay, California, 1970
W. G. Hines, R.H. Palmer
1971, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 332
The purpose of this release is to describe the approximate volumes and significant pollutional loading attributable to municipal and industrial wastewater discharged into the San Francisco Bay. The six receiving-water regions (fig.1) are the same as those used previously by Pearson, Storrs, and Selleck (1969) in describing results of the comprehensive...

IntroductionHistory of Small Watershed Projects in TexasThe U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood and soil erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of the "Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended....
Mathematical ground-water model of Indian Wells Valley, California
R. M. Bloyd Jr., S. G. Robson
1971, Open-File Report 72-41
A mathematical model of the Indian Wells Valley ground-water basin was developed and verified. The alternating-direction implicit method was used to compute the mathematical solution. It was assumed that there are only two aquifers in the valley, one being deep and the other shallow. Where the shallow aquifer occurs, the...

Prospects for developing stock - Water supplies from wells in northeastern Garfield County, Montana
M. C. Van Lewen, Norman Julius King
1971, Water Supply Paper 1999-F
Ground-water resources in northeastern Garfield County, Mont., afford a practical and reliable source of stock water on the intermingled public and private grazing lands that together comprise an area of about 1,200 square miles. The oldest formation exposed in the area is the relatively thick and impermeable Bearpaw Shale of...

Hydrology of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota
M. J. Ellis, James H. Ficken, D. G. Adolphson
1971, Hydrologic Atlas 355
An investigation of the geology and ground-water resources of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota, was made at the request of the Bureau of Indian Affairs as part of the U.S. Department of Interior's program for the development of the Missouri River basin. Originally, the Reservation included all of Mellette,...
Influence of surface glacial deposits on streamflow characteristics
P.C. Bent
1971, Open-File Report 72-34
Streamflow characteristics at gaging stations were related by multiple regression techniques to basin and climatic characteristics and equations were developed for estimating streamflow characteristics at ungaged sites. A permeability index, based on surface geology, was used in the analysis and substantially improved the standard error of estimate as compared to...
Aids in designing laboratory flumes
Garnett P. Williams
1971, Open-File Report 71-327
The upsurge of interest in our environment has caused research and instruction in the flow of water along open channels to become increasingly popular in universities and institutes. This, in turn, has brought a greater demand for properly-designed laboratory flumes. Whatever the reason for your interest, designing and...
