Technique for estimating depth of 100-year floods in Tennessee
Charles R. Gamble, James G. Lewis
1977, Open-File Report 77-668
Preface: A method is presented for estimating the depth of the loo-year flood in four hydrologic areas in Tennessee. Depths at 151 gaging stations on streams that were not significantly affected by man made changes were related to basin characteristics by multiple regression techniques. Equations derived from the analysis can...

Flood-hazard study: 100-year flood stage for Lucerne Lake, San Bernadino County, California
Mark William Busby
1977, Open-File Report 77-597
A study of the flood hydrology of Lucerne Valley, Calif., was made to develop the 100-year stage for Lucerne Lake. Synthetic-hydrologic techniques were used; and the 100-year flood stage was estimated to be at an elevation of 2,849.3 feet above mean sea level. Channel dimensions were measured at 59 sites...
Development of water facilities in the Santa Ana River Basin, California, 1810-1968: a compilation of historical notes derived from many sources describing ditch and canal companies, diversions, and water rights

Water consumption by nuclear powerplants and some hydrological implications
Ennio V. Giusti, E.L. Meyer
1977, Circular 745
Published data show that estimated water consumption varies with the cooling system adopted, being least in once-through cooling (about 18 cubic feet per second per 1,000 megawatts electrical) and greatest in closed cooling with mechanical draft towers (about 30 cubic feet per second per 1,000 megawatts electrical). When freshwater is...
