Dissolved-oxygen depletion and other effects of storing water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Wyoming and Utah
E.L. Bolke
1978, Open-File Report 78-92
The circulation of water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir is caused chiefly by insolation, inflow-outflow relationships, and wind, which is significant due to the geographical location of the reservoir. During 1970-75, there was little annual variation in the thickness, dissolved oxygen, and specific conductance of the hypolimnion near Flaming Gorge Dam....
Sediment transport in the Feather River, Lake Oroville to Yuba City, California
George Porterfield, Robert D. Busch, Arvi O. Waananen
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-20
Regulation of the Feather River by Oroville Dam and reservoir in northeast California (beginning in 1967) changed the streamflow and sediment discharge downstream from the dam. Changes in channel geometry to adjust to the new regimen were still in process in 1975. Streamflow and sediment concentration and discharge had decreased....

Analysis of urban storm-water quality for seven basins near Portland, Oregon
Timothy L. Miller, Stuart W. McKenzie
1978, Open-File Report 78-662
Over a 1.5-year period, water-quality data were collected for seven small drainage basins in urban aeas of Portland, Oreg. Analysis of the data followed three approaches. First, the constituent concentrations were analyzed. Average concentrations of suspended sediment, settleable solids, and fecal coliform bacteria generally exceeded levels expected for secondary waste-treatment...
