Effects of urban development on floods in northern Virginia
Daniel G. Anderson
1970, Water Supply Paper 2001-C
Graphical and mathematical relations are presented to estimate the flood-peak magnitudes having recurrence intervals ranging up to 100 years for drainage basins with various degrees of urban or suburban development. Five independent variables are required for use of the relations. They are the size, length, and slope of the basin,...
Annotated bibliography on artificial recharge of ground water, 1955-67
Donald C. Signor, Douglas J. Growitz, William Kam
1970, Water Supply Paper 1990
Artificial ground-water recharge has become more important as water use by agriculture, industry, and municipalities increases. Water management agencies are increasingly interested in potential use of recharge for pollution abatement, waste-water disposal, and re-use and reclamation of locally available supplies. Research projects and theoretical analyses of operational recharge systems show...

Water in urban planning, Salt Creek Basin, Illinois water management as related to alternative land-use practices
Andrew Maute Spieker
1970, Water Supply Paper 2002
Water management can be an integral part of urban comprehensive planning in a large metropolitan area. Water both imposes constraints on land use and offers opportunities for coordinated land and water management. Salt Creek basin in Cook and Du Page Counties of the Chicago metropolitan area is typical of rapidly...
Correlative estimates of streamflow in the upper Colorado River basin
Lamar E. Carroon
1970, Water Supply Paper 1875
Most hydrologic analyses, whether for appraisal of the water resource, feasibility of a particular development, design of a system of operation, assessment of gains or losses from acts of man or natural changes, or almost any other use, require the extension in time of some streamflow records. In the Upper...

Electrical-analog-model study of water resources of the Columbus area, Bartholomew County, Indiana
Frank A. Watkins, J. E. Heisel
1970, Water Supply Paper 1981
The Columbus study area is in part of a glacial outwash sand and gravel aquifer that was deposited in a preglacial bedrock valley. The study area extends from the north line of Bartholomew County to the south county line and includes a small part of Jackson County south of Sand...
A glossary of Karst terminology
Watson Hiner Monroe
1970, Water Supply Paper 1899-K
This glossary includes most terms used in describing karst geomorphologic features and processes. The terms are primarily those used in the literature of English-speaking countries, but a few of the more common terms in French, German, and Spanish are included, with references to the corresponding English terms where they are...

Detergents and associated contaminants in ground water at three public-supply well fields in southwestern Suffolk County, Long Island, New York
Nathaniel M. Perlmutter, A.A. Guerrera
1970, Water Supply Paper 2001-B
Sampling of groups of small-diameter shallow observation wells and nearby public-supply wells screened in the upper glacial aquifer at three well fields showed that detergents (MBAS) were distributed through almost the entire saturated thickness of the aquifer. Concentrations of MBAS in water from all the wells sampled ranged from less...

Floods of December 1966 in southwestern Utah
Elmer Butler, J. C. Mundorff
1970, Water Supply Paper 1870-A
Severe floods occurred in parts of southwestern Utah on December 5-6, 1966, as a result of precipitation of about 1 inch to more than 12 inches during December 3-6. The flood on the Virgin River was the greatest since the first settlers arrived in 1860.The peak discharge of the Virgin...

An appraisal of ground water for irrigation in the Wadena area, central Minnesota
F.G. Lindholm
1970, Water Supply Paper 1983
The Wadena area is part of a large sandy plain in central Minnesota whose soils have low water-holding capacity. Drought conditions which adversely affect plant growth frequently occur in the summer when moisture is most needed. To reduce the risk of crop failure in the area supplemental irrigation is on...
