Hydrologic investigations of urban areas in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. These studies are now in progress in Austin, Houston, Dallas, Dallas County, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Bryan. Hydrologic investigations of urban areas in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954....
Sedimentation of Williams Reservoir, Santa Clara County, California
John R. Ritter, William M. Brown III
1972, Open-File Report 72-315
Fifty-two acre-feet of sediment was ·deposited in Williams Reservoir between 1913 and 1971. From calculations of the sediment yields in other nearby drainage basins in Santa Clara County, it was determined that 24 to 38 acre-feet of sediment would have been transported to Williams Reservoir between 1961 and 1971 under...

Artificial recharge in the upper Santa Ana Valley, southern California
Joe A. Moreland
1972, Open-File Report 72-261
Artificial recharge has long been an integral part of water-supply management in the upper Santa Ana Valley. About 7,500 acres of unlined channels and 2,590 acres in 60 off-channel recharge facilities are available for water spreading.To estimate potential infiltration rates for the recharge facilities, 63 single-ring infiltrometer tests were conducted...
Applications of the generalized information processing system (GIPSY)
D.W. Moody, Olaf Kays
1972, Open-File Report 72-260
The Generalized Information Processing System (GIPSY) stores and retrieves variable-field, variable-length records consisting of numeric data, textual data, or codes. A particularly noteworthy feature of GIPSY is its ability to search records for words, word stems, prefixes, and suffixes as well as for numeric values. Moreover, retrieved records may be...

Analysis of potential errors in real-time streamflow data and methods of data verification by digital computer
David J. Lystrom
1972, Open-File Report 72-235
The magnitude, frequency, and types of errors inherent in real-time streamflow data are presented in part I. It was found that real-time data are generally less accurate than are historical data, primarily because real-time data are often used before errors can be detected and corrections applied. Various methods of verifying real-time...
