Adjustment of logarithmic flood-frequency statistics for gaged California streams to minimize the time sampling error
S. E. Rantz, J. R. Crippen
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 113-121
Methods for adjusting logarithmic flood-frequency statistics for gaged streams to minimize the time sampling error that is inherent in short records are discussed. Statistical procedures for adjusting the mean and standard deviation of a short-term array of annual peak discharges are already well established; two standard sets of equations for...

Combining estimates of low-flow characteristics of streams in Massachusetts and Rhode Island
Gary D. Tasker
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 107-112
The number of base-flow measurements needed to meet specified accuracy goals for estimating low-flow characteristics at ungaged sites can be reduced by combining an estimate based on a regression of base-flow measurements on discharges from a nearby continuous long-term gaging station with an estimate based on a regional relationship developed...
Water-quality changes during a salmon run in an interior Alaskan stream
Jon W. Nauman, Donald R. Kernodle
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 103-106
Increased activity at sunset of sockeye (red) salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in an Alaskan stream resulted in increases in carbon dioxide, turbidity, suspended chlorophyll a, and drift invertebrates, and a decrease in pH and dissolved oxygen....

Summary of hydrologic data collected during 1974 in Dade County, Florida
J.E. Hull
1975, Open-File Report FL 75-012
This report is ninth in a series documenting the annual hydrologic conditions in Dade County, Florida. The hydrologic conditions in Dade County for the 1974 water year (October 1, 1973 to September 30, 1974) except for rainfall are summarized in tables, graphs, and maps. The locations of ground-water data-collection stations...
Norman Creek, a source of recharge to Maramec Spring, Phelps County, Missouri
E. E. Gann, E. J. Harvey
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 99-102
Rhodamine WT dye was used to trace the subsurface movement of water from Norman Creek, a losing Ozark stream, to Maramec Spring, a straight-line distance of 8.7 mi (14.0 km). Grab samples and activated charcoal packets were used to check possible emergent points of the dye. The leading edge of...

Changes in concentration of certain constituents of treated waste water during movement through the Magothy Aquifer, Bay Park, New York
Henry F. H. Ku, John Vecchioli, Stephen E. Ragone
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 89-92
Approximately 7 million gallons (27 million litres) of tertiary-treated sewage (reclaimed water) was injected by well into the Magothy aquifer and was subsequently pumped out. As the reclaimed water moved through the aquifer, concentrations of certain dissolved constituents decreased as follows: Total nitrogen, 7 percent; methylene blue active substances, 49...
The determination, assessment, and design of "in-stream value" studies for the northern Great Plains region
Ken D. Bovee
1975, Report
An extensive literature review was conducted to determine the discharge requirements of various components of a warm water fishery. Where exact hydrologic parameters were not measured directly in individual studies, they were estimated from inferred statements and knowledge of hydrologic variables leading to certain instream conditions. From this...

Mobilization of iron in water in the Magothy aquifer during long-term recharge with tertiary-treated sewage, Bay Park, New York
Stephen E. Ragone, Henry F. H. Ku, John Vecchioli
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 93-98
Tertiary-treated sewage (reclaimed water) has been recharged by well into the Magothy aquifer at Bay Park, N. Y., intermittently since 1968. The longest of 13 recharge tests, the subject of this report, lasted 84.5 days. This was sufficient time for the reclaimed water to reach an observation well 200 ft...
Topographic maps
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1975, Report
A topographic map is a graphic representation of selected manmade and natural features of a part of the earth's surface plotted to a definite scale. The distinguishing characteristic of a topographic map is the portrayal of the shape and elevation of the terrain....
Recurrent geothermally induced debris avalanches on Boulder Glacier, Mount Baker, Washington
David Frank, Austin Post, Jules D. Friedman
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 77-87
Avalanches of snow, firn and hydrothermally altered rock and mud have been released six times since 1958 from Sherman Peak, part of the crater rim south of the main summit of Mount Baker, Wash. The avalanches traveled nearly identical paths 2.0-2.6 km down Boulder Glacier on the east slope of...
Basic ground-water data for the Moscow Basin, Idaho
Emerson Gerald Crosthwaite
1975, Report
The Moscow basin encompasses an area of 65 square miles (170 square kilometres) in Latah County and borders the Idaho Washington State line (fig. 1). The basin is along the eastern edge of the "Palouse Country" where the rolling Palouse hills merge with the low mountains of northern Idaho. It...

A proposed glacial history of the Henrys Lake Basin, Idaho
Irving J. Witkind
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 67-76
Deposits of several glaciations from oldest to youngest, pre-Bull Lake, Bull Lake, and Pinedale are in and near the Henrys Lake basin, a northwest-trending hourglass-shaped trough in southeastern Idaho. Glacial deposits of pre-Bull Lake age are represented by till remnants confined mostly to the higher levels of the surrounding mountains....
The Nectarian System, a new lunar time-stratigraphic unit
Desiree Stuart-Alexander, Don E. Wilhelm
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 53-58
Geologic mapping of the limbs and far side of the Moon has demonstrated the desirability of subdividing the pre-Imbrian rocks. A convenient datum is the Janssen Formation, the ejecta blanket of the Nectaris basin. A new system, herein named the Nectarian System, extends from the base of the Janssen Formation...
Wildlife and oil shale: a problem analysis and research program: volume 2, appendix and bibliography

1975, FWS/OBS 76/01.2
This appendix is designed to apply to the program of studies recommended in the problem analysis and research program Volume I. It has two purposes: (1) to provide reference that may be used in the preparation of requests for proposals or for studies, and (2) to suggest a core group of references for...
K-Ar age of the Similkameen Batholith and Kruger Alkalic Complex, Washington and British Columbia

1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 39-43
Twelve K-Ar age determinations from the Similkameen batholith and the contiguous Kruger Alkalic Complex, including seven newly reported here, range from 69.9 m.y. to 177.2 m.y. Ages of coexisting hornblende and biotite show discordancies ranging from about 72 m.y. to 106 m.y., with hornblende consistently showing the greater analytical age....

Colluma Crater, on the semiarid Altiplano (high plain) of western Bolivia, is an oval structure having overall dimensions of 6.7 km by 6.0 km. The structure has two almost concentric cuestaform rims (the inner rim is 3.6 km by 3.1 km) composed of poorly consolidated clastic sediments that dip outward....
Quantitative determination of dawsonite in Green River Shale by powder-sample X-ray diffraction; effect of grinding
E-an Zen, Jane M. Hammarstrom
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 21-30
In an effort to evaluate the method of quantitative analysis by X-ray diffraction as a means of determining dawsonite abundances in Green River" oil shale, we performed a series of grinding experiments. Weighed mixtures of dawsonite + quartz and dawsonite + quartz + shale were ground for preset lengths of...
