Floods of August 1967 in east-central Alaska
Joseph M. Childers, James P. Meckel, Gary S. Anderson
1972, Water Supply Paper 1880-A
East-central Alaska had record floods near Fairbanks following extensive rains of August 8-20, 1967. Precipitation during this period totaled as much as 10 inches, which is close to the average annual precipitation for this area. The most extensive flooding occurred in the White Mountains northeast of Fairbanks and along the...
Hydrologic interpretations based on infrared imagery of Long Island, New York
Edward J. Pluhowski
1972, Water Supply Paper 2009-B
Six remote-sensing flights over Long Island's north and south shores were made during the period July 13, 1967, to February 25, 1970. Infrared imagery in the 8- to 14-micrometer range was obtained; results varied from poor to excellent in quality. The ability of the RS 7 and Reconofax IV imagers...
The hydrology of four streams in western Washington as related to several Pacific salmon species
Michael R. Collings, Ronald W. Smith, G.T. Higgins
1972, Water Supply Paper 1968
Enhancement-or possibly even preservation-of the Pacific salmon hinges on the careful planning and proper management of the streamflow upon which they depend for spawning. Most spawning activity occurs on reaches of streams where specific hydraulic conditions exist and where stream-channel characteristics and water-quality criteria are met. The present report is...
Water resources of Clay, Greene, Craighead, and Poinsett Counties, Arkansas
Marion S. Hines, Raymond O. Plebuch, A. G. Lamonds
1972, Hydrologic Atlas 377
Water is available in Clay, Greene, Craighead, and Poinsett Counties from ground-water and surface-water sources. However, ground water is more accessible in many places than surface water. Ground water is available from the alluvium, which covers all the area except Crowleys Ridge, and is also available from other formations below...

Distribution and isotopic composition of uranium in lower Nueces River, Nueces Bay and Corpus Christi Bay, Texas
Charles W. Holmes, Elizabeth Ann Slade
1972, Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies Transactions (22) 315-322
The uranium concentration and isotopic composition of water and suspended sediment from the Nueces River, Nueces Bay and Corpus Christi Bay were determined by alpha-spectroscopy. The average dissolved uranium concentration and radioactivity ratio (U234/U238) of Nueces River water were determined to be 2.44 µg/1 and 1.15 respectively. Water from a...
Annual compilation and analysis of hydrologic data for Honey Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1970
B.B. Hampton
1972, Report
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found a...

Water-resources reconnaissance of Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska
Charles E. Sloan
1972, Open-File Report 72-348
A hydrologic reconnaissance was made of Anaktuvuk pass in the central Brooks Range during the summer of 1971 to help develop a water supply for the village school. Winter icings and summer flow conditions in Contact Creek both indicate that ground water is present beneath the creek bed. A well-site...

Bottom sediments on the continental shelf off the northeastern United States -- Cape Cod to Cape Ann, Massachusetts
John Schlee, David W. Folger, Charles J. O’Hara
1971, Open-File Report 1639
These reconnaissance maps have been constructed to show the areal distribution of major types of bottom sediment and some of their constituents on the sea floor off Massachusetts between Cape Ann and Cape Cod (41°45'N and 42°50'N and west of 70°-00W). They are intended to serve as a guide to...
Ground-water resources: Cumberland County, New Jersey
James G. Rooney
1971, Special Report 34
Cumberland County is located in the Atlantic Coastal Plain physiographic province along the northeastern shore of Delaware Bay in Southwestern New Jersey. An average annual hydrologic budget was computed for Cumberland County. Water gains are: precipitation, 1,050 mgd (million gallons per day); surface-water inflow, 142 mgd; ground-water inflow negligible. Water...

Effects of irrigation on streamflow in the Central Sand Plain of Wisconsin
E.P. Weeks, H.G. Stangland
1971, Open-File Report 70-362
Development of ground water for irrigation affects streamflow and water levels in the sand-plain area of central Wisconsin. Additional irrigation development may reduce opportunities for water-based recreation by degrading the streams as trout habitat and by lowering lake levels. This study was made to inventory present development of irrigation in...
