Comparison of evaporation computation methods, Pretty Lake, Lagrange County, northeastern Indiana
John F. Ficke
1972, Professional Paper 686-A
Evaporation from Pretty Lake has been computed for a 2%- year period between 1963 and 1965 by the use of an energy budget, mass-transfer parameters, a water budget, a class-A pan, and a computed pan evaporation technique. The seasonal totals for the different methods are within 8 percent of their...

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...
Availability of ground water for irrigation from glacial outwash in the Perham area, Otter Tail County, Minnesota
Harold O. Reeder
1972, Water Supply Paper 2003
The Perham study area includes about 350 square miles of surficial deposits of glacial outwash in the central part of Otter Tail County in west-central Minnesota. The aquifer characteristics have a wide range, as follows: Transmissivity values range from nearly 0 along the perimeter of the area to more than...

Movement and dispersion of soluble pollutants in the Northeast Cape Fear Estuary, North Carolina
E. F. Hubbard, William G. Stamper
1972, Water Supply Paper 1873-E
This report presents the results of a fluorescent-dye-tracing study to determine the concentrations of a pollutant that would be present in the Northeast Cape Fear Estuary at various rates of continuous waste injection and freshwater inflow. Rhodamine WT dye was introduced into the estuary at a constant rate over a...
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...

This report describes the significant results to 1967 of a comprehensive study that began in 1963 to evaluate what changes take place in an estuary as the loads .of raw and partially treated industrial and municipal wastes are replaced by effluent from a secondary treatment plant. The study area is...
Factors contributing to unusually low runoff during the period 1962-68 in the Concho River Basin, Texas
Stanley P. Sauer
1972, Water Supply Paper 1999-L
To determine the reasons for the unusually low runoff in the Concho River basin during the period 1962-68, the physical developments and climatic changes in the basin were identified and related to changes in the regimen of streamflow. Land use, brush infestation, and land-treatment practices have not caused significant changes in...
