Perennial-streamflow characteristics related to channel geometry and sediment in Missouri River basin
W. R. Osterkamp, E. R. Hedman
1982, Professional Paper 1242
Geometry, channel-sediment, and discharge data were collected and compiled from 252 streamflow-gaging stations in the Missouri River basin. The sites represent the complete ranges of hydrologic and geologic conditions found in the basin. The data were analyzed by computer to yield equations relating various discharge characteristics to variables of channel...

G. W. Freethey
1982, Open-File Report 82-752
A definition of the hydrologic system of the upper San Pedro basin was obtained by developing a numerical ground-water model to evaluate a conceptual model of the system. Information on hydraulic properties of the basin fill, recharge from bordering mountain ranges, discharge by evapotranspiration, and exchange of water between aquifer...

1982, Open-File Report 82-355
The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with Leon County is currently (1981) developing a lumped-parameter, rainfall-runoff model for the urban area of the county. Flood information from 16 sites is being collected and will be analyzed to define hydrologic relations useful for estimating magnitude and frequency of discharges in urban...

Effects of Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic faulting on the geology and hydrology of the coastal plain near the Savannah River, Georgia and South Carolina
R.E. Faye, D.C. Prowell
1982, Open-File Report 82-156
Geologic and hydrologic investigations by the U.S. Geological Survey have defined stratigraphic and hydraulic anomalies suggestive of faulting within Coastal Plain sediments between the Ogeechee River in east-central Georgia and the Edisto River in west-central South Carolina. Examination of borehole cuttings, cores, and geophysical logs from test wells indicate that...

1982, Open-File Report 82-775
Rocks that make up the Arbuckle-Simpson aquifer crop out over about 500 square miles in the Arbuckle Mountains province in south-central Oklahoma. The aquifer consists of limestone, dolomite, and sandstone of the Arbuckle and Simpson Groups of Late Cambrian to Middle Ordovician age and is about 5,000 to 9,000 feet...

Bibliography of U.S. Geological Survey studies of lakes and reservoirs; the first 100 years
Thomas C. Winter
1982, Circular 859
For more than 100 years, the U.S. Geological Survey has pursued its mission of assessing and mapping the earth resources of the United States, including assessment of the Nation's water resources. Although the Survey has never been a water-management or development agency, it has assisted agencies that are responsible for...
Annual snowmelt and rainfall peak-flow data on selected foothills region streams, South Platte River, Arkansas River, and Colorado River basins, Colorado
J. G. Elliott, R.D. Jarrett, J.L. Ebling
1982, Open-File Report 82-426
Peak flows in the foothills region of Colorado are attributable to two meteorological sources--snowmelt and rainfall. As part of a study of the hydrology of foothills streams in Colorado, charts from streamflow gages on unregulated streams were examined to determined the source of peak-flow events. Snowmelt-runoff peaks were distinguished from...
