Analysis of water quality of the Mahoning River in Ohio
Gene A. Bednar, Charles R. Collier, William Perry Cross
1968, Water Supply Paper 1859-C
The Mahoning River drains the densely populated and industrialized Warren-Youngstown area in northeastern Ohio. Significant chemical constituents and physical properties generally regarded as important in establishing water-quality standards for the Mahoning River are evaluated on the basis of hydrologic conditions and water use. Most of the interpretations and the appraisal...
Storage requirements for Arkansas streams
James Lee Patterson
1968, Water Supply Paper 1859-G
The supply of good-quality surface water in Arkansas is abundant. owing to seasonal and annual variability of streamflow, however, storage must be provided to insure dependable year-round supplies in most of the State. Storage requirements for draft rates that are as much as 60 percent of the mean annual flow...

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...
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...

Water data for metropolitan areas: A summary of data from 222 areas in the United States
1968, Water Supply Paper 1871
Expansion of metropolitan areas poses persistent problems in management of the hydrologic environment. Adequate hydrologic data are prerequisite to proper planning and engineering design of urban environments. Some such data are available and are tabulated for each Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area in the United States. Information for each area consists...
Flow pattern and related chemical quality of ground water in the "500-foot" sand in the Memphis area, Tennessee
Edwin Allen Bell, Dale J. Nyman
1968, Water Supply Paper 1853
The '500-foot' sand is the major source of water supply for the Memphis area. Thick layers of impervious clay above and below the sand confine the water in the aquifer under artesian pressure and also protect the aquifer from contamination. Recharge from rainfall enters the '500-foot' sand in the outcrop,...
Summary of floods in the United States during 1963
J.O. Rostvedt, and others
1968, Water Supply Paper 1830-B
This report describes the most outstanding floods in the United States during 1963. The three most destructive floods occurred in March from Alabama to West Virginia and Ohio, in June in Nebraska, and in August in Buffalo, N.Y.Widespread disastrous floods struck the western slopes of the Appalachian Mountains from Alabama...

Magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States; part 1-B. North Atlantic slope basins, New York to York River
Richard H. Tice
1968, Water Supply Paper 1672
Flood magnitude-frequency relation applicable to streams in the North Atlantic slope basins, New York to York River, Va., are presented in this report. The relations are based on flood data collected at 487 gaging stations having 5 or more years of record not materially affected by regulation. For sites on most...
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...

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...
