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...
A method for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in South Dakota
Lawrence D. Becker
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...

Analog-model studies of ground-water hydrology in the Houston District, Texas
Donald G. Jorgensen
1974, Open-File Report 74-113
The major water-bearing units in the Houston district are the Chicot and the Evangeline aquifers. The Chicot aquifer overlies the Evangeline aquifer, which is underlain by the Burkeville confining layer. Both aquifers consist of unconsolidated and discontinuous layers of sand and clay that dip toward the Gulf of Mexico. Heavy...
The 1971 drought in South Florida and its effect on the hydrologic system
Manuel A. Benson, Richard Alfred Gardner
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-12
The 1971 dry season rainfall in south Florida was low enough that the public media and concerned public officials unanimously characterized the event as a severe drought.Rainfall over all of south Florida during the 1970 wet season and the 1970-71 dry season was less than 85 percent of normal, as...
Estimated permeabilities for soils in the Sacramento Valley, California
Gilbert L. Bertoldi
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-51
Analysis of engineering and hydrologic data from 15 previous soil studies, analysis of particle-size distribution, and analysis of descriptions of soil profiles show that 50 percent of the Sacramento Valley area has soils having permeabilities characterized by infiltration rates of less than 2 feet per day (0.6 meter per day)....

Geologic and hydrologic control of chloride contamination in aquifers at Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia
Dean O. Gregg, Everett Alfred Zimmerman
1974, Water Supply Paper 2029-D
Water from a brackish-water zone (1,050-1,350 ft) has concentrations as high as 2,150 milligrams per liter chloride, and concentrations are suspected to be higher than 3,000 milligrams per liter chloride. This brackish water has been identified as the source of the water that contaminates the upper and lower fresh-water-bearing zones...
Floods of June 1965 in Arkansas River basin, Colorado, Kansas, and New Mexico
R.J. Snipes
1974, Water Supply Paper 1850-D
Maximum discharges during the floods of June 1965 in the Arkansas River basin in Colorado, Kansas, and New Mexico were greater than those previously known at 49 of the 137 locations where flood information was obtained. Property damage exceeded $60 million, and 16 lives were lost. At many sites, peak...

Water resources of the lower St. Croix river watershed, east-central Minnesota
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...
Water resources of the Snake River watershed, east-central Minnesota

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...
