Hydrologic effects of floodwater-retarding structures on Garza-Little Elm Reservoir, Texas
Clarence R. Gilbert, Stanley P. Sauer
1970, Water Supply Paper 1984
The Texas District of the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey has collected and analyzed hydrologic data since 1953 to define the effects of systems of floodwater-retarding structures on downstream water and sediment yield. The district project includes 11 study areas ranging from 18 to 80 square miles...
Hydrologic implications of solid-water disposal
William Joseph Schneider
1970, Circular 601-F
The disposal of more than 1,400 million pounds of solid wastes in the United States each day is a major problem. This disposal in turn often leads to serious health, esthetic, and environmental problems. Among these is the pollution of vital ground-water resources. Of the six principal methods of solid-waste disposal...

1970, Open-File Report 70-93
The Big Lost River basin occupies about 1,400 square miles in south-central Idaho and drains to the Snake River Plain. The economy in the area is based on irrigation agriculture and stockraising. The basin is underlain by a diverse-assemblage of rocks which range, in age from Precambrian to Holocene. The...
Mean annual runoff as related to channel geometry of selected streams in California
E. R. Hedman
1970, Water Supply Paper 1999-E
The channel geometry of 48 gaged streams in California where mean annual runoff is known was studied in 1967 and 1968. The analyses show that the mean annual runoff is related to selected dimensions of channel geometry. The width and the average depth of the cross section between bars or...
The Alaska earthquake, March 27, 1964: Lessons and conclusions
Edwin B. Eckel
1970, Professional Paper 546
One of the greatest earthquakes of all time struck south-central Alaska on March 27, 1964. Strong motion lasted longer than for most recorded earthquakes, and more land surface was dislocated, vertically and horizontally, than by any known previous temblor. Never before were so many effects on earth processes and on...
Study and interpretation of the chemical characteristics of natural water
John David Hem
1970, Water Supply Paper 1473
The chemical composition of natural water is derived from many different sources of solutes, including gases and aerosols from the atmosphere, weathering and erosion of rocks and soil, solution or precipitation reactions occurring below the land surface, and cultural effects resulting from activities of man. Some of the processes of...

Methods and applications of electrical simulation in ground-water studies in the lower Arkansas and Verdigris River Valleys, Arkansas and Oklahoma
M. S. Bedinger, J.E. Reed, C.J. Wells, B.F. Swafford
1970, Water Supply Paper 1971
The Arkansas River Multiple-Purpose Plan will provide year-round navigation on the Arkansas River from near its mouth to Muskogee, Okla., and on the Verdigris River from Muskogee to Catoosa, Okla. The altered regimen in the Arkansas and Verdigris Rivers will affect ground-water conditions in the adjacent alluvial aquifers. In 1957...

A summary of preliminary studies of sedimentation and hydrology in Bolinas Lagoon, Marin County, California
John R. Ritter
1970, Circular 627
The U.S. Geological Survey is investigating sedimentary and hydrologic conditions in Bolinas Lagoon, a 1,100-acre lagoon 15 miles northwest of San Francisco. The program began in May 1967 and will continue into 1970. Only the study results analyzed before June 1968 are summarized in the report. Two series of measurements...
Annotated bibliography on artificial recharge of ground water, 1955-67
Donald C. Signor, Douglas J. Growitz, William Kam
1970, Water Supply Paper 1990
Artificial ground-water recharge has become more important as water use by agriculture, industry, and municipalities increases. Water management agencies are increasingly interested in potential use of recharge for pollution abatement, waste-water disposal, and re-use and reclamation of locally available supplies. Research projects and theoretical analyses of operational recharge systems show...
Flood of August 1969 in Virginia
J.D. Camp, E.M. Miller
1970, Open-File Report 70-51
Hurricane Camille became a tropical depression and soaked central Virginia with up to 28 inches of rain during the night of August 19th and morning of the 20th. The rains, flash floods, and rain-induced landslides accompanying the storm's passage have been called the worst natural disaster ever to strike Virginia.Discharge...

Geologic evaluation of 3-5 micrometer infrared imagery and color photography in southern Utah
Robert J. Hackman, Paul L. Williams
1970, Open-File Report 71-140
A comparison of 3-5 micrometer, afternoon and midnight infrared (IR) imagery and color photography with conventional aerial photography shows that IR imagery and color photography have some unique capabilities. In general, the IR imagery provides in shades of gray a record of the relative ground temperature at the time the...
