Velocity and depth measurements for use in computation of reaeration coefficients
John S. Zogorski, Peter W. Anderson, Owen O. Williams
1973, Open-File Report 73-369
Empirical computation of reaeration coefficients generally requires knowledge of mean velocity and mean depth of a stream. A practical method for obtaining this knowledge is described herein. The method involves time-of-travel, streamflow, and cross-sectional measurements, the development of discharge-velocity curves, streamflow profiles, and the computation of cross-sectional areas. Values for...
Flood of September 3, 1972, in Hillsboro, New Mexico
Loyd A. Waite
1973, Open-File Report 73-356
Four deaths, two persons seriously injured, and property damage estimated at $846,500 resulted from a flood that struck the village of Hillsboro, N. Mex. during the early morning hours of September 3, 1972. Hillsboro is situated at the confluence of Percha Creek and its main tributary, North Percha Creek. Heavy rainfall...
Records of selected water wells and test holes in the Oklahoma Panhandle
George L. Hoffman, Donald L. Hart Jr.
1973, Open-File Report 73-376
Since 1963 use of ground water for irrigation in the Oklahoma panhandle has increased greatly as illustrated by the rapid increase in the number of irrigation wells (fig. 1). Because of increased use of ground water, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, in 1966...
Water resources outlook for the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Metropolitan Area, Minnesota
R.F. Norvitch, T.G. Ross, Alex Brietkrietz
1973, Open-File Report 73-203
The water resources were studied within an area whose natural ground-water flow is largely towards the center of the metropolitan area. This area coincides with the extent of the Hinckley Sandstone aquifer. Thus, the general geohydrology of the area bounded by the extent of the Hinckley Sandstone (about 6,000 square...
A national study of the streamflow data-collection program
Manuel A. Benson, Rolland William Carter
1973, Water Supply Paper 2028
The streamflow data program of the U.S. Geological Survey was evaluated in a nationwide study during 1970. The principal elements of the study were (1) establishing the objectives and goals of the program, (2) analyzing all available data to determine which of the goals have already been met, (3) considering...
Mercury in the Carson and Truckee River basins of Nevada
A. S. Van Denburgh
1973, Open-File Report 73-352
Upstream from major pre-1900 ore milling in the Carson and Truckee River basins, "background" concentrations of total mercury in the upper 1 to 3 inches of sand- to clay-sized stream-bottom sediment are less than 0.1 ug/g (microgram per gram). Downstream, measured concentrations were as much as 200 times the background...
Wolf River at Memphis, Tennessee: floodflow characteristics along proposed Interstate Highway 240, Shelby County
William J. Randolph, Charles R. Gamble
1973, Open-File Report 73-228
This report has been prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey at the request of Mr. Henry Derthick, Engineer of Structures of the Tennessee Department of Transportation, under the authority of a cooperative agreement between the two agencies. It supplements information contained in a report with the same title dated September...
Hydrologic characteristics of Alder Creek, Iron County, Wisconsin
B. K. Holmstrom, W.A. Gebert, Ronald G. Borman
1973, Open-File Report 74-1049
The purpose of this study was to determine the hydrologic characteristics of Alder Creek, Iron County, Wisconsin, which are needed by water-resource planners to evaluate a reservoir site proposed by the Whitecap Mountain Corporation on Alder Creek. The hydrologic characteristics estimated were the mean flows, low flows, flood peaks, suspended-sediment...
Water resources data for Washington, water year 1972; Part 1, Surface water records
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1973, Water Data Report WA-72-1
Surface-water records for the 1972 water year for Washington, including records of streamflow or reservoir storage at gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites, are given in this report and their locations shown in figures 1, 2. Records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States also are included....
Flood of September 1971 in southeastern Pennsylvania
Leland V. Page, Lewis C. Shaw
1973, Open-File Report 73-217
Record-breaking floods on Sept. 13, 1971, occurred in some urbanized basins of southeastern Pennsylvania. This flooding resulted from heavy, intermittent thunderstorms on Sept. 11-13, 1971, which produced 8 to 12 inches of rainfall in the basins of Skippack, Stony, and Chester Creeks. Rain was heaviest during mid-day of the 13th....
Water resources of Wisconsin, Pecatonica-Sugar River basin
S. M. Hindall, Earl L. Skinner
1973, Hydrologic Atlas 453
The purpose of this report is to describe the physical environment, availability, characteristics, distribution, movement, and quailty of water in the Pecatonica-Sugar River basin.  In addition, water use and water problems are summarized to give an understanding of man's management of water within the basin....
