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....
Biological and microbiological assessment of the upper Chattahoochee River basin, Georgia
Bruce W. Lium, J. K. Stamer, T. A. Ehlke, R.E. Faye, R.N. Cherry
1979, Circular 796
Biological and microbiological studies were conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey as a part of the Intensive River-Quality Assessment studies of the upper Chattahoochee River basin, Georgia. Phytoplankton concentrations in cells per milliliter (cells/mL) were generally higher downstream from Atlanta than upstream. The highest concentrations, mostly blue-green algae, occurred in...

Selected streamflow data for the Delaware River basin
Robert D. Schopp, Brian D. Gillespie
1979, Open-File Report 79-347
Selected streamflow data for the Delaware River basin are given in this report. Runoff-precipitation data covering the period 1941-70 are compiled for 28 selected subbasins. Low-flow frequency curves for four main-stem Delaware River sites are also given. For Delaware River at Montague and Trenton, New Jersey, monthly comparative duration curves...
Regional flood-frequency relations for west-central Florida
M.A. Seijo, R.F. Giovannelli, J. F. Turner
1979, Open-File Report 79-1293
This report presents regional relations for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods on streams in west-central Florida. Flood prediction equations derived cover 20, 5-, 25-, 100-, 200-, and 500-year recurrence intervals. Annual floods for three geographic areas of west-central Florida were found to relate significantly to basin characteristics. Basin...
Two oil types on the North Slope of Alaska: implications for future exploration
Leslie B. Magoon, George Edwin Claypool
1979, Open-File Report 79-1649
Forty oil samples from across the North Slope of Alaska have been analyzed by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and the U.S. Geological Survey. Results of these analyses suggest two separate genetic oil types. The first type, the Simpson-Umiat oil type, occurs in reservoir rocks of Cretaceous and Quaternary age...

The corrosive well waters of Egypt's western desert
Frank Eldridge Clarke
1979, Water Supply Paper 1757-O
The discovery that ground waters of Egypt's Western Desert are highly corrosive is lost in antiquity. Inhabitants of the oases have been aware of the troublesome property for many decades and early investigators mention it in their reports concerning the area. Introduction of modern well-drilling techniques and replacements of native...
Streamflow simulation studies of the Hillsborough, Alafia, and Anclote Rivers, west-central Florida
J.F. Turner Jr.
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-102
A modified version of the Georgia Tech Watershed Model was applied for the purpose of flow simulation in three large river basins of west-central Florida. The model was calibrated for six streamflow stations located in these basins using 4 years of historical and current rainfall, runoff, and estimated evapotranspiration data....

1979, Open-File Report 79-1126
These sections were measured prior to 1960, before adoption of the metric system. Publication was delayed by other assignments of the authors and later by the untimely death of J. C. Wright. They are being released at this time because of the increased interest in the uranium potential of Jurassic...
Floods in Georgia, magnitude and frequency: Techniques for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Georgia with compilation of flood data through 1974

1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-137
Regional relations are defined for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods having recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years on streams with natural flow in Georgia. Multiple-regression analyses were used to define the relationship between the flood-discharge frequency of annual peak discharges for streams draining...
