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...
Hydrogeology of the Scioto River Valley near Piketon, south-central Ohio
Stanley Eugene Norris, Richard E. Fidler
1969, Water Supply Paper 1872
A systematic study was made of one of Ohio's principal aquifers, a sand and gravel outwash in the Scioto River Valley, to determine the feasibility of developing a ground-water supply of 20 million gallons per day at a site near Piketon. The first part of the study was spent in...

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...

Chemical quality of surface waters in Devils Lake basin North Dakota, 1952-60
Hugh T. Mitten, C.H. Scott, Philip G. Rosene
1968, Water Supply Paper 1859-B
Above-normal precipitation in 1954, 1956, and 1957 caused the water surface of Devils Lake to rise to an altitude of 1,419.3 feet, its highest in 40 years. Nearly all the water entering the lake flowed through Big Coulee, and about three-fourths of that inflow was at rates greater than 100...
Ground-water hydrology of the Sevier Desert, Utah
R. W. Mower, R.D. Feltis
1968, Water Supply Paper 1854
The Sevier Desert, as used in this report, comprises the main part of the Sevier Desert, the Tintic Valley, and the southeastern part of the Old River Bed. It covers an area of about 3,000 square miles and occupies a large basin in the eastern part of the Basin and...

Water for the growing needs of Harrison County, Mississippi
Roy Newcome Jr., Donald E. Shattles, Carney P. Humphreys Jr.
1968, Water Supply Paper 1856
The potential for water-supply development in Harrison County is almost unlimited. During an average year, more than 350 billion gallons of water flow into the Gulf of Mexico from the streams of the county. With storage reservoirs these streams have a potential sustained supply of hundreds of millions of. gallons...
Water-discharge determinations for the tidal reach of the Willamette River from Ross Island Bridge to Mile 10.3, Portland, Oregon
G.R. Dempster, Gale A. Lutz
1968, Water Supply Paper 1586-H
Water-discharge, velocity, and slope variations for a 3.7-mile-Iong tidal reach of the Willamette River at Portland, Oreg., were defined from discharge measurements and river stage data collected between July 1962 and January 1965. Observed water discharge during tide-affected flows, during floods, and during backwater from the Columbia River and recorded...
Electrical analog analysis of ground-water depletion in central Arizona
T. W. Anderson
1968, Water Supply Paper 1860
The Salt River Valley and the lower Santa Cruz River basin are the two largest agricultural areas in Arizona. The extensive use of ground water for irrigation has resulted in the need for a thorough appraisal of the present and future ground-water resources. The ground-water reservoir provides 80 percent (3.2...
Hydrology of Crater, East and Davis Lakes, Oregon; with section on Chemistry of the Lakes
Kenneth N. Phillips, A. S. Van Denburgh
1968, Water Supply Paper 1859-E
Crater, East, and Davis Lakes are small bodies of fresh water that occupy topographically closed basins in Holocene volcanic terrane. Because the annual water supply exceeds annual evaporation, water must be lost by seepage from each lake. The seepage rates vary widely both in volume and in percentage of the...

Use of water by riparian vegetation, Cottonwood Wash, Arizona
James E. Bowie, William Kam
1968, Water Supply Paper 1858
The change in water use as a result of the modification of riparian vegetation was measured in Cottonwood Wash, Mohave County, Ariz. A 4.1-mile length of the stream channel was selected and divided into a 2.6-mile upper reach and a 1.5-mile lower reach. Measurements of streamflow, ground-water levels, vegetation, and...
Determination of discharge during pulsating flow
T. H. Thompson
1968, Water Supply Paper 1869-D
Pulsating flow in an open channel is a manifestation of unstable-flow conditions in which a series of translatory waves of perceptible magnitude develops and moves rapidly downstream. Pulsating flow is a matter of concern in the design and operation of steep-gradient channels. If it should occur at high stages in...
