Erosion and deposition on a beach raised by the 1964 earthquake Montague Island, Alaska
M. J. Kirkby, Anne V. Kirkby
1969, Professional Paper 543-H
During the 1964 Alaska earthquake, tectonic deformation uplifted the southern end of Montague Island as much as 33 feet or more. The uplifted shoreline is rapidly being modified by subaerial and marine processes. The new raised beach is formed in bedrock, sand, gravel, and deltaic bay-head deposits, and the effect...

1969, Professional Paper 627-B
The study described in this report is concerned with the effects of intensive urban development on direct runoff to East Meadow Brook, a southward-flowing stream in central Nassau County, N.Y., during the period 1937-66. The specific objectives of the study were (a) to relate indices of urban development to increases...
Ground-water resources of the Lambayeque Valley, Department of Lambayeque, northern Peru
Stuart L. Schoff, M. Juan Luis Sayan
1969, Water Supply Paper 1663-F
Ground water in the Lambayeque Valley has been developed mainly for irrigation of sugarcane and rice. The locality is on the coastal plain of northern Peru, about 650 km (kilometers) northwest of Lima, the national capital. The area considered in this study is about 1,670 sq km (square kilometers) and...

Water resources of the Sycamore Creek watershed, Maricopa County, Arizona
B. W. Thomsen, Herbert H. Schumann
1969, Water Supply Paper 1861
The Sycamore Creek watershed is representative of many small watersheds in the Southwest where much of the streamflow originates in the mountainous areas and disappears rather quickly into the alluvial deposits adjacent to the mountains. Five years of .streamflow records from the Sycamore Creek watershed show that an average annual...
Sediment transport by streams in the Walla Walla River basin, Washington and Oregon, July 1962 - June 1965
B. E. Mapes
1969, Water Supply Paper 1868
The Walla Walla River basin covers about 1,760 square miles in southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon. From the 6,000-foot crest of the Blue Mountains on the east to the 340-foot altitude of Lake Wallula (Columbia River) on the west, the basin is drained by the Touchet River and Dry Creek,...
Floods of June 1965 in South Platte River basin, Colorado
Howard Frederick Matthai
1969, Water Supply Paper 1850-B
Heavy, intense rains in three areas on three different days caused outstanding floods on many streams in the South Platte River basin from Plum Creek, just south of Denver, downstream to the Colorado-Nebraska State line. The flood-producing storms followed a relatively wet period, and rainfall of as much as 14...
Water for the cities - The outlook
William Joseph Schneider, Andrew Maute Spieker
1969, Circular 601-A
Except perhaps for the arid Southwest, water resources are generally sufficient to meet the needs of cities for the foreseeable future. Cities will continue to expand and additional rural areas will be converted to urban and suburban complexes. Demands for urban water will continue to rise and this will place...
Feasibility study of the use of the acoustic velocity meter for measurement of net outflow from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in California
Winchell Smith
1969, Water Supply Paper 1877
A reliable measure of the fresh-water outflow from the Sacramento-San Joaquin delta is needed for the operation of the California Water Project and for the evaluation of the interrelated water problems of the delta and San Francisco Bay regions. The Chipps Island channel, immediately downstream from the confluence of the...

Willard B. Mills, Elmer E. Schroeder
1969, Water Supply Paper 1870-B
The floods of April 28, 1966, in the northern part of Dallas, Tex., caused heavy damage to a relatively small area. Flood damage was estimated at $2,500,000; and of this amount, $1,330,000 damage was along Bachman Branch, which has a drainage area of 12.3 square miles. At least seven persons...

The Fresno area comprises about 1.400 square miles lying west of the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and east of the trough of the San Joaquin Valley. The rainfall averages less than 10 inches per year causing agricultural development to depend mainly on surface-water deliveries and ground-water pumpage. Surface-water deliveries...
