Hydrologic interpretations based on infrared imagery of Long Island, New York
Edward J. Pluhowski
1972, Water Supply Paper 2009-B
Six remote-sensing flights over Long Island's north and south shores were made during the period July 13, 1967, to February 25, 1970. Infrared imagery in the 8- to 14-micrometer range was obtained; results varied from poor to excellent in quality. The ability of the RS 7 and Reconofax IV imagers...
Fluvial sediment in Salem Fork watershed, West Virginia
R.F. Flint
1972, Water Supply Paper 1798-K
Suspended sediment discharged from the 8.32-square-mile Salem Fork study area in Harrison County, W. Va., averaged 3,500 tons per year during the first 4-year period of investigation and 1,770 tons per year during the second 4-year period. The difference as attributed to increased flow control, effected by the completion of...
Runoff characteristics of California streams
S. E. Rantz
1972, Water Supply Paper 2009-A
California streams exhibit a wide range of runoff characteristics that are related to the climatologic, topographic, and geologic characteristics of the basins they drain. The annual volume of runoff of a stream, expressed in inches, may be large or small, and daily discharge rates may be highly variable or relatively...
Significance of ground-water chemistry in performance of North Sahara Tube wells in Algeria and Tunisia
Frank Eldridge Clarke, Blair F. Jones
1972, Water Supply Paper 1757-M
Nine ground-water samples from the principal shallow and deep North Sahara aquifers of Algeria and Tunisia were examined to determine the relation of their chemical composition to corrosion and mineral encrustation thought to be contributing to observed decline in well capacities within a UNESCO/UNDP Special Fund Project area. Although the...
Sediment transport in a Mississippi River distributary — Bayou Lafourche, Louisiana
W. Harry Doyle
1972, Water Supply Paper 2008
The installation of a pumping plant at Donaldsonville, La., in 1955 to solve a water-supply problem for the residents along Bayou Lafourche created a sedimentation problem in the bayou. Prior to 1904, when the bayou functioned as a distributary, floodflows periodically scoured the sediment deposited in the channel at lower...
Ground-water in the Teresina-Campo Maior area, Piaui, Brazil
Harry G. Rodis, Edison F. Suszczynski
1972, Water Supply Paper 1663-G
The Teresina-Campo Maior area lies in a presently developing farming and grazing region near the margin of drought-prone northeast Brazil where irrigated farming offers the best potential for economic development. The area comprises 9,700 square kilometers largely of catinga-covered tabular uplands which are drained by the perennial Rio Parnatba. The...
Summary of floods in the United States during 1967
J.O. Rostvedt
1972, Water Supply Paper 1880-C
This report describes the most outstanding floods in the United States during 1967. The two most destructive floods occurred in August in east-central Alaska and in September and October in southern Texas. In east-central Alaska, heavy rain on August 8-17 produced record-breaking floods near Fairbanks. Peak discharges on some streams...
