Relation of suspended-sediment concentration to channel scour and fill
Luna Bergere Leopold, Thomas Maddock Jr.
1953, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the fifth Hydraulics Conference, June 9-11, 1952, arranged by the Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research
It is known that during the passage of a flood the channel of an alluvial stream scours and fills with considerable rapidity. Though such changes may be random, it seems more likely that there is a definite pattern of channel change directly related both to discharge and to the sediment...

William E. Benson, Albert F. Trites Jr., Ernest P. Beroni, John A. Feeger
1952, Trace Elements Memorandum 325
The White Canyon area, in the central part of San Juan County, Utah, consists of approximately two 15-minute quadrangles. Approximately 75 square miles have been mapped by the Geological Survey on a scale of 1 inch equals 1 mile, using a combined aerial photography-plane table method. Structure contours were drawn...
Discharge and sediment loads in the Boise River drainage basin, Idaho 1939-40
S. K. Love, Paul Charles Benedict
1948, Water Supply Paper 1048
The Boise River project is a highly developed agricultural area comprising some 520 square miles of valley and bench lands in southwestern Idaho. Water for irrigation is obtained from the Boise River and its tributaries which are regulated by storage in Arrow Rock and Deer Flat reservoirs. Distribution of water...
Geologic features of the Connecticut Valley, Massachusetts as related to recent floods
Richard Henry Jahns
1947, Water Supply Paper 996
This report gives the results of a geologic study of certain features that bear upon the recent flood behavior of rivers flowing in the Massachusetts part of the Connecticut Valley. It is in part an outline of the physiographic history of the Connecticut River, a 'history that is treated in...
Notable local floods of 1939: Part 1: Floods of September 1939 in Colorado River Basin below Boulder Dam
Joseph Strong Gatewood
1946, Water Supply Paper 967-A
Although the flow of Colorado River has been controlled at Boulder Dam since February 1935, flood danger still exists in the basin below the dam. This report on the first general floods to occur below Boulder lam since the dam was closed presents facts that should prove helpful in planning...
