Hydrometeorological model for streamflow prediction
Wendell V. Tangborn
1979, Open-File Report 79-741
The hydrometeorological model described in this manual was developed to predict seasonal streamflow from water in storage in a basin using streamflow and precipitation data. The model, as described, applies specifically to the Skokomish, Nisqually, and Cowlitz Rivers, in Washington State, and more generally to streams in other regions that...

John R. Crippen
1979, Open-File Report 79-991
Death Valley is known as the driest and hottest region in the United States. Despite the aridity of the valley itself, however , very heavy rainfall sometimes occurs in the nearby mountains. Such violent rainstorms are likely to be of relatively short duration and to occur over rather small areas;...

Hydrologic and human aspects of the 1976-77 drought
Howard F. Matthai
1979, Professional Paper 1130
The drought of 1976-77 was the most severe in at least 50 years in many parts of the United States. Record low amounts of rainfall, snowfall, and runoff, and increased withdrawals of ground water were prevalent. The use of carry-over storage in reservoirs during 1976 maintained streamflow at near normal...

Water-resources data, 1970-75, for Perris Valley and vicinity, Riverside County, California
David J. Lang
1979, Open-File Report 79-1256
In 1969 the U.S. Geological Survey began in Perris Valley, Calif., to determine changes in the hydrologic regime as a rural area becomes urbanized. The investigations spanned several years when precipitation was below normal in most of southern California. Surface-water records were collected for a 6-year period at 21 sites, and...

1979, Open-File Report 79-255
The headwater locations of several thousand U.S. streams tributary to Lakes Ontario and Erie and the St. Lawrence and Niagara Rivers, from the Maumee River in Ohio to the western border of the Lake Champlain basin in New York, including parts of Pennsylvania, are listed by quadrangle. The location of...
Floodflow characteristics of Butternut Creek and Jamesville Reservoir, Jamesville, Onondaga County, New York

1979, Open-File Report 79-1292
A hydrologic study of Butternut Creek, near Jamesville, Onondaga County, N.Y., was done to develop inflow and outflow hydrographs of the ' probable maximum flood ' and the ' standard project flood ' of Jamesville Reservoir, as defined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The inflow and outflow discharges...

An appraisal of pumping effects on the Edgeley Aquifer, La Moure County, North Dakota, as determined by a digital model
M. R. Burkart
1979, Open-File Report 79-748
A finite-difference digital model simulated hydrologic conditions in the Edgeley aquifer, which is an unconfined glacial-drift aquifer. The calibrated model supported the hypothesis that under natural steady-state conditions, recharge is from precipitation and discharge is through evapotranspiration. This hypothesis was further supported by comparing simulated water levels to observed water...
