Hydrologic effects of annually diverting 131,000 acre-feet of water from Dillon Reservoir, central Colorado
William M. Alley, D. P. Bauer, J.E. Veenhuis, Robert Brennan
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-2
Because of the increased demands for water in eastern Colorado, principally in the urbanizing Denver metropolitan area, increased diversions of water from Dillon Reservoir are planned. Estimates of end-of-month storage in Dillon Reservoir, assuming the reservoir was in place and 131,000 acre-feet of water were diverted from the reservoir each...

Hydrologic data are being collected in 10 urbanized watersheds located in the Tampa Bay area, Florida. The gaged watersheds have impervious areas that range from 19 percent for a residential watershed in north Tampa to nearly 100 percent for a downtown Tampa watershed. Land-use types, including roads, residential, commercial, industrial,...

Water resources of the Swinomish Indian Reservation, Washington
B. W. Drost
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-12
The Swinomish Indian Reservation occupies 17 mi2on Fidalgo Island, northwestern Washington. Six square miles are underlain by mudflats or low-lying alluvial deposits, and are not part of the study area. An appraisal of the water resources of the reservation was made because the Swinomish Tribal Community expects rapid economic and...

Low-flow hydrology of the Sulphur Fork Red River basin, Robertson County, north-central Tennessee
Clarence H. Robbins
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-77
The objectives of this study were to define (1) the average 3-day natural low-flow with a 20-year recurrence interval for five low-flow partial-record sites and one continuous record station, (2) losing and gaining reaches of the main stem of the Sulphur Fork Red River and major tributaries, and (3) the...

Effect on sediment yield and water quality of a nonrehabilitated surface mine in north-central Wyoming
Bruce H. Ringen, L. M. Shown, R. F. Hadley, T. K. Hinkley
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-47
Sediment and chemical quality of water data were collected from two adjacent drainage basins in northern Wyoming to compare hydrologic differences between an undisturbed basin and a surface-mined, virtually unrehabilitated basin. Rate of sediment accumulation in a pond in the basin that was surface mined for coal and left unrehabilitated...
Instrumentation of urban hydrology monitoring sites in southeast Florida
Jack Hardee
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-37
An instrumentation system developed and built in laboratories of the U.S. Geological Survey, Reston, Va., has been used since 1974 to collect synchronized rainfall, runoff, and water-quality data from urban basins. A number of field modifications were made to adapt the system to local hydrologic conditions and for collection of...
Hydrology of major estuaries and sounds of North Carolina
G. L. Giese, Hugh B. Wilder, Garald G. Parker Jr.
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-46
Hydrology-related problems associated with North Carolina's major estuaries and sounds include contamination of some estuaries with municipal and industrial wastes and drainage from adjacent intensively-farmed areas, and nuisance-level algal blooms. In addition, there is excessive shoaling in some navigation channels, saltwater intrusion into usually fresh estuarine reaches, too-high or too-low...
Bibliography of geology and hydrology, eastern New Mexico
Ann Finley Wright
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-76
The High Plains of the eastern New Mexico region are recognized as an abundant and varied source of natural resources. The bibliography of over 1,900 references concerned with geology, hydrology, chemistry, and geography has been compiled to assist physical science researchers in their study of this region. (Kosco-USGS)...

Tree rings as indicators of hydrologic change in the Great Dismal Swamp, Virginia and North Carolina
Richard L. Phipps, D.L. Ierley, C.P. Baker
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-136
Analyses of tree rings of large, canopy loblolly pines (Pinus taeda L.,) growing near a drainage ditch in the Great Dismal Swamp have indicated that the tree rings are datable and hydrologically (climatically) sensitive. Climatic and prior growth factors in regression explained 87 and 71 percent of the variance of...

Map showing occurrences of spring-deposited travertine in the conterminous Western United States
J. H. Feth, Ivan Barnes
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-35
Extinct travertine terraces occur hundreds of meters above present levels of spring activity and have potentials for interpretation of ancient hydrologic systems, rates of downcutting, or rates of tectonic uplift that remain virtually unexploited. The abundance and size of extinct travertine deposits suggest that in many places, such as pinnacles...
