Gerald F. Lindholm, J. O. Helgesen, W.L. Broussard, D.F. Farrell
1974, Hydrologic Atlas 490
The lower St. Croix River watershed is an elongate area of about 930 square miles bounded on the east by the St. Croix River. The St. Croix River forms the Minnesota-Wisconsin boundary along the eastern side of the watershed. Additional drainage to the St. Croix River includes areas of about 2,500...
Mathematical model of San Juan Valley ground-water basin, San Benito County, California
Robert E. Faye
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...
Water resources of the Snake River watershed, east-central Minnesota
Gerald F. Lindholm, J. O. Helgesen, W.L. Broussard, D.W. Ericson
1974, Hydrologic Atlas 488
Glacial drift overlies sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks in the Snake River watershed. The Snake River, which drains an area of about 1,030 square miles, originates in an extensive area of peat bogs in the northern part of the watershed. It flows southward across gently rolling glacial terrain in which the...

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...
Chemical weathering of serpentinite in the eastern Piedmont of Maryland
E.T. Cleaves, D. W. Fisher, O.P. Bricker
1974, Geological Society of America Bulletin (85) 437-444
Weathering processes in a small watershed (Soldiers Delight) underlain by Serpentinite in the Piedmont of Maryland were studied by means of a mass balance technique and were compared with the processes operative in a watershed uncertain by schist. The two terranes are downwasting at a rate of 2.4 m per...
Geohydrologic considerations in the management of radioactive waste
George D. DeBuchananne
1974, Nuclear Technology (24) 356-361
Nongaseous radioactive wastes occur as liquids containing high-level concentrations of radionuclides, liquids containing low concentrations of radionuclides, and solids contaminated by radioactivity. Whether released by accident or design into the earth or onto the earth’s surface, only water is capable of transporting significant quantities of radionuclides away from burial sites....
Feeding Ecology of Breeding Blue-Winged Teals
George A. Swanson, Mavis I. Meyer, Jerome R. Serie
1974, Journal of Wildlife Management (38) 396-407
A 5-year investigation of factors influencing the selection of foods consumed by blue-winged teals (Anas discors) during the breeding season in the glaciated prairie region of south-central North Dakota showed that birds first arriving on the breeding grounds consumed a diet consisting of 45 percent invertebrates. The proportion of animal...
An optimum reduction of gauges to meet data program constraints
Thomas Maddock III
1974, Hydrological Sciences Bulletin (19) 337-345
Budget or manpower constraints may force a reduction in data collection activities. However, information may be transferred from continued gauge sites to discontinued gauge sites provided there is ‘sufficient’ correlation between flow sequences. Information defined as the reciprocal of variance (of the parameter estimator for which the gauge has been...
Artificial Recharge — State of the Art
R. F. Brown, D. C. Signor
1974, Groundwater (12) 152-160
The largest potential reservoir for the storage of potable water is in the unsaturated zone. Use of this space for the storage and retrieval of potable water is a multifaceted problem which requires application of the best talent from the scientific community.Artificial recharge has many similarities to liquidwaste disposal through...
Hydrology and trout populations of cold-water rivers of Michigan and Wisconsin
G. E. Hendrickson, R. L. Knutilla
1974, Transactions of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters (62) 181-193
Statistical multiple-regression analyses showed significant relationships between trout populations and hydrologic parameters. Parameters showing the higher levels of significance were temperature, hardness of water, percentage of gravel bottom, percentage of bottom vegetation, variability of streamflow, and discharge per unit drainage area. Trout populations increase with lower levels of annual maximum...
Drainage area and river mileage of Nebraska streams part I
Gordon G. Jamison
1974, Open-File Report 7404
The value of stream discharge data for hydrologic studies is enhanced by the availability of accurate information on size of area drained, distance between selected sites along stream course, and hydraulic gradients. Information on the location of cultural and natural features that affect streamflow also is valuable for hydrologic studies,...

A note on costs of collecting hydrometric flow data in the United States
W. B. Langbein, G. E. Harbeck Jr.
1974, Hydrological Sciences Bulletin (19) 227-229
Information for comparing costs of collecting hydrometric data in different countries may promote efficiency of operations. The hydrometric programme in the United States consists of 8400 full-record stations and an equal number of partial-record stations operated by 47 district offices. A sampling of four districts selected to represent the range...
