B.E. Colson, C. O. Ming, George J. Arcement
1979, Hydrologic Atlas 599
Floodflow data that will provide a base for evaluating digital models relating to open-channel flow were obtained at 22 sites on streams in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Thirty-five floods were measured. Analysis of the data indicated methods currently in use would be inaccurate where densely vegetated flood plains are crossed...

Hydrologic data on channel adjustments, 1970 to 1975, on the Rio Grande downstream from Cochiti Dam, New Mexico before and after closure
Jack D. Dewey, F.E. Roybal, D.E. Funderburg
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-70
Cross-section channel profiles, sediment transport and hydrologic data have been observed (before and after closure of the dam) and computed for a series of investigations from 1970 to 1975 at 37 cross sections established along a 59 mile (95 kilometer) study reach from Cochiti Dam to Isleta Diversion Dam, N....
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...
Probable hydrologic effects of a hypothetical failure of Mackay Dam on the Big Lost River Valley from Mackay, Idaho to the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory
Leroy Druffel, Gloria J. Stiltner, Thomas N. Keefer
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-99
Mackay Dam is an irrigation reservoir on the Big Lost River, Idaho, approximately 7.2 kilometers northwest of Mackay, Idaho. Consequences of possible rupture of the dam have long concerned the residents of the river valley. The presence of reactors and of a management complex for nuclear wastes on the reservation...
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...
Geohydrology of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, South Dakota
Lewis W. Howells
1979, Hydrologic Atlas 585
Effective improvement of economic and social conditions of Indians living on the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation has been hampered by lack of adequate and reliable information about the quantity and quality of water supplies available for development. Compounding the problem is the recent fillinf of Oahe Reservoir, which flooded about...
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...
Ground-water conditions and potential for artificial recharge in Lucerne Valley, San Bernardino County, California
Donald H. Schaefer
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-118
The water level in two areas of Lucerne Valley has declined more than 100 feet since 1917, including 60 feet from 1954 to 1976. These declines are the result of pumping for the irrigation of alfalfa. The lowering of water levels has caused many shallow domestic wells to go dry....
Ground-water quality in Bannock, Bear Lake, Caribou, and part of Power counties, southeastern Idaho
Harold R. Seitz, Ralph F. Norvitch
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-14
This report provides information about the current quality of ground waters in southeastern Idaho and discusses the natural and manmade environmental controls on that quality. This information will be useful in planning and monitoring the development and use of the ground-water resources of southeastern Idaho.The southeastern corner of Idaho, as...
