Surface water of Muddy Boggy River basin in south-central Oklahoma
A.O. Westfall, T. Ray Cummings
1963, Open-File Report 63-148
This report summarizes basic hydrologic data of the surface water resources of Muddy Boggy River basin, and by analysis and interpretation, presents certain streamflow characteristics at specified points in the basin. Muddy Boggy River has a drainage area of 2,429 square miles. The climate is moist subhumid and the annual precipitation...
Hydraulic geometry of a small tidal estuary
Robert M. Myrick, Luna Bergere Leopold
1963, Professional Paper 422-B
A tidal channel in a marsh bordering the Potomac River near Alexandria, Va., was mapped, and current-meter measurements of discharge were made at various locations and at various stages in the tidal cycle. These measurements allowed analysis of the change of width, depth, and velocity with discharge at various cross...
Surface water of Little River basin in southeastern Oklahoma (with a section on quality of water by R. P. Orth)
A.O. Westfall, Richard Philip Orth
1963, Open-File Report 63-151
This report summarizes basic hydrologic data of the surface water resources of Little River basin above the Oklahoma-Arkansas state line near Cerrogordo, Okla., and by analysis and interpretation, presents certain streamflow characteristics at specified points in the basin. Little River basin above the state line includes 2,269 square miles, of which...
Dispersion in natural streams
Richard G. Godfrey, Bernard J. Frederick
1963, Report
Eleven tests were conducted to study the dispersion patterns of a radiotracer in five natural stream channels and in one canal. The radiotracer was injected as a line source. The patterns of dispersion that were observed in these channels were compared with patterns predicted by the theoretical models for one-dimensional...
Salinity of the Delaware Estuary
Bernard Cohen, Leo T. McCarthy Jr.
1962, Water Supply Paper 1586-B
The purpose of this investigation was to obtain data on and study the factors affecting the salinity of the Delaware River from Philadelphia, Pa., to the Appoquinimink River, Del. The general chemical quality of water in the estuary is described, including changes in salinity in the river cross section and...
Geology and ground-water resources of the Ahtanum Valley, Yakima County, Washington
B. L. Foxworthy
1962, Water Supply Paper 1598
The Ahtanum Valley covers an area of about 100 square miles in an important agricultural district in central Yakima County, Wash. Because the area is semiarid, virtually all crops require irrigation. Surface-water supplies are inadequate in most of the area, and ground water is being used increasingly for irrigation. The...
Floods in Utah, magnitude and frequency
Vernon K. Berwick
1962, Circular 457
This report presents a procedure for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods, within the range of the base data, for any site, gaged or ungaged. From the relation of annual floods to the mean annual flood, a composite frequency curve was derived for recurrence intervals of 1.1 to 50...
Floods at Mount Clemens, Michigan
S.W. Wiitala, Arlington D. Ash
1962, Hydrologic Atlas 59
The approximate areas inundated during the flood of April 5-6, 1947, by Clinton River, North Branch and Middle Branch of Clinton River, and Harrington Drain, in Clinton Township, Macomb County, Mich., are shown on a topographic map base to record the flood hazard in graphical form. The flood of April...
An application of thermometry to the study of ground water
Robert Schneider
1962, Water Supply Paper 1544-B
Except for studies of temperature data related to ground-water developments that induce infiltration from streams, little attention has been given to the possibility of using temperature fluctuations as a tool for studying the elements of the hydrologic cycle involving ground water. The temperature of the water discharged from large installations that...
Ground-water resources of Camas Prairie, Camas and Elmore Counties, Idaho
William Clarence Walton
1962, Water Supply Paper 1609
Camas Prairie is an eastward-trending intermontane basin along the north flank of the Snake River Plain in southern Idaho. The basin is about 40 miles long and averages about 8 miles wide. It was formed as a structural depression in which a considerable thickness of alluvial and lake deposits accumulated...
Drainage basins, channels, and flow characteristics of selected streams in central Pennsylvania
Lucien M. Brush Jr.
1961, Professional Paper 282-F
The hydraulic, basin, and geologic characteristics of 16 selected streams in central Pennsylvania were measured for the purpose of studying the relations among these general characteristics and their process of development. The basic parameters which were measured include bankfull width and depth, channel slope, bed material size and shape, length...
Progress report on wells penetrating artesian aquifers in South Dakota
R. W. Davis, C.F. Dyer, J.E. Powell
1961, Water Supply Paper 1534
Artesian aquifers underlie most of South Dakota and large areas in adjacent States. About 15,000 wells have been completed since 1881 in these aquifers within South Dakota. Many wells that originally flowed have ceased to flow and have been abandoned, and others have been equipped with pumps. Many thousands, however,...
Time of travel of water in the Ohio River, Pittsburgh to Cincinnati
Robert E. Steacy
1961, Circular 439
This report presents a procedure for estimating the time of travel of water in the Ohio River from Pittsburgh, Pa., to Cincinnati, Ohio, under various river stage conditions. This information is primarily for use by civil defense officials and by others concerned with problems involving travel time of river water....
Effect of reforestation on streamflow in central New York
William Joseph Schneider, Gordon Roundy Ayer
1961, Water Supply Paper 1602
Hydrologic data have been collected since 1932 in central New York State to determine the effect of reforestation on streamflow. Data are available for three small partly reforested areas and for one nonreforested control area. From 35 to 58 percent of the 3 areas were reforested, mostly with species of...
Floods of May 1959 in the Au Gres and Rifle River basins, Michigan
L.E. Stoimenoff
1960, Open-File Report 60-135
The floods of May 1959 in the Au Gres and Rifle River basins, Michigan, resulted from heavy rainfall during the night of May 19-20. Peak unit discharges for small drainage areas (less than about 15 square miles) were the highest ever measured in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, and for...
An aeromagnetic reconnaissance of the Cook Inlet area, Alaska
Arthur Grantz, Isidore Zietz, Gordon E. Andreasen
1960, Open-File Report 60-59
Forty-two east-west aeromagnetic lines were flown across the Cook Inlet-Susitna Lowland between Chelatna Lake and Seldovia at a flight altitude of approximately 2,500 feet. The lines traverse all or part of five Mesozoic tectonic elements that dominate the structure of the Cook Inlet area. Each of these tectonic elements, the...

David Wellington Hubbell, Donald Quintin Matejka
1959, Water Supply Paper 1476
An investigation of fluvial sediments of the Middle Loup River at Dunning, Nebr., was begun in 1946 and expanded in 1949 to provide information on sediment transportation. Construction of an artificial turbulence flume at which the total sediment discharge of the Middle Loup River at Dunning, Nebr., could be measured...
