Kevin M. Scott, Rhea P. Williams
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-47
Major-storm and long-term erosion rates in mountain watersheds of the western Transverse Ranges of Ventura County are estimated to range from low values that will not require the construction of catchments or channel-stabilization structures to values as high as those recorded anywhere for comparable bedrock erodibilities.A major reason for this...

1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-58
A mathematical model study of the San Juan Valley ground-water basin in San Benito County, Calif., has quantitatively described the ground-water hydrology of the basin under past, present, and future conditions of development. An analysis of conditions in the basin prior to large-scale ground-water development indicates that net recharge equaled...

Hydrologic analysis of the Mojave River, California, using a mathematical model
Timothy J. Durbin, W. F. Hardt
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-17
The channel of the Mojave Rive'r in California is normally dry and is highly permeable over much of its length, and large quantities of water from natural floodflows in the channel infiltrate through the channel bed to the underlying ground-water body. From 1930 to 1972 only 18 floods at The...

1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-35
A general flood-frequency analysis has provided a method for estimating flood magnitudes and frequencies on South Dakota streams. Related flood data useful in planning and design also are included in the report.Two distinct hydrologic regions are delineated within the State. The divisional boundary for these regions is, in general, the...

Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Ohio region
Richard M. Bloyd Jr.
1974, Professional Paper 813-A
Ground water in the Ohio Region is a large, important, and manageable resource that should have a significant role in regional water development. On the basis of a comparison of ground-water withdrawals with estimated ground-water recharge, it appears that the ground-water resources of the Ohio Region probably will not be used...
Geology and ground water for land-use planning in the Eagle River-Chugiak area, Alaska
Chester Zenone, Henry R. Schmoll, Ernest Dobrovolny
1974, Open-File Report 74-57
The Eagle River — Chugiak area is a rapidly growing residential part of the Greater Anchorage Area Borough, south-central Alaska. High-density, urban development in some parts of the area may be restricted because of the nature of the surficial geologic materials and their hydrologic characteristics. This report assembles all information...

Water quality of hydrologic bench marks; an indicator of water quality in the natural environment
James E. Biesecker, Donald K. Leifeste
1974, Circular 460-E
Water-quality data, collected at 57 hydrologic bench-mark stations in 37 States, allow the definition of water quality in the 'natural' environment and the comparison of 'natural' water quality with water quality of major streams draining similar water-resources regions. Results indicate that water quality in the 'natural' environment is generally very...
