Floods of May 1968 in south Arkansas
R.C. Gilstrap
1972, Water Supply Paper 1970-A
The floods of May 1968 in south Arkansas produced the greatest peak discharges in the history of recorded streamflow at several gaging stations. Most notable of these floods was on Cossatot River near DeQueen, which has a continuous record since 1938. The peak discharge of 122,000 cubic feet per second...
Determination of mass balance and entrainment in the stratified Duwamish River Estuary, King County, Washington
J.D. Stoner
1972, Water Supply Paper 1873-F
During a study of the effects of waste-water input on the stratified Duwamish River estuary, intensive water-velocity and salinity measurements were made in both the lower salt wedge and the upper fresher water layer for tidal-cycle periods. The net movement of water and salt mass past a cross section during...
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...
Water quality of streams in the Neshaminy Creek basin, Pennsylvania
Edward F. McCarren
1972, Water Supply Paper 1999-O
The Neshaminy has carved a scenic route on its way to the Delaware River, thereby helping to increase the value of land. The unabated growth of nearby metropolitan areas and the multiplying needs for water and open space for water storage and recreation in southeastern Pennsylvania have become impelling forces...

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...

This report is one of a series concerning the concepts, measurement, laboratory procedures, and computation of fluvial-sediment discharge. Material in this report includes procedures and forms used to compile and evaluate particle-size and concentration data, to compute fluvial-sediment discharge, and to prepare sediment records for publication....
Low-flow investigations
H. C. Riggs

This manual describes methods of defining the low-flow characteristics of streams, shows how certain basin characteristics influence the mean and variability of annual low flows, and recommends procedures for data collection, analysis, and reporting....
Appraisal of stream sedimentation in the Susquehanna River basin
Kenneth F. Williams, Lloyd A. Reed
1972, Water Supply Paper 1532-F
The Susquehanna River presently transports about 3.0 million tons of sediment annually (110 tons per square mile). Only about 1.8 million tons of sediment enters the head of Chesapeake Bay annually because some sediment is trapped behind the power dams on the lower Susquehanna. Measured annual sediment yields from subbasins...

P. K. Theobald, Stanley P. Schweinfurth, Donald Cave Duncan
1972, Circular 650
Estimates are made of United States resources of coal, petroleum liquids, natural gas, uranium, geothermal energy, and oil from oil shale. The estimates, compiled by specialists of the U.S. Geological Survey, are generally made on geologic projections of favorable rocks and on anticipated frequency of the energy resource in the...
Estimated use of water in the United States in 1970
Charles Richard Murray, E. Bodette Reeves
1972, Circular 676
Estimates of water use in the United States in 1970 indicate that an average of about 370 bgd (billion gallons per day)about 1,800 gallons per capita per day--was withdrawn for the four principal off-channel uses which are (1) public-supply (for domestic, commercial, and industrial uses), (2) rural (domestic and livestock),...
