Geology, hydrology, and water quality in the Fresno area, California
Roland Westland Page, R.A. LeBlanc
1969, Open-File Report 69-328
The Fresno area comprises about 1.400 square miles lying west of the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and east of the trough of the San Joaquin Valley. The rainfall averages less than 10 inches per year causing agricultural development to depend mainly on surface-water deliveries and ground-water pumpage. Surface-water deliveries...
Some guidelines for remote sensing in hydrology
Charles J. Robinove, Daniel G. Anderson
1969, Journal of the American Water Resources Association (5) 10-19
Remote sensing in the field of hydrology is beginning to be applied to significant problems, such as thermal pollution, in many programs of the Federal and State Governments as well as in operation of many private organizations. The purpose of this paper is to guide the hydrologist to a better...

Relation of sea water to fresh water in carbonate rocks in coastal areas, with special reference to Florida, U.S.A., and Cephalonia (Kephallinia), Greece
V. T. Stringfield, H. E. LeGrand
1969, Journal of Hydrology (9) 387-404
The principles controlling the equilibrium between the denser salty water and the lighter fresh water in coastal aquifers apply to carbonate as well as sand systems. However, under certain equilibrium conditions of fresh and salt water in parts of some carbonate aquifers unusual hydrologic phenomena result. Hydrologic conditions at Tarpon...
Mean streamflow from discharge measurements
H. C. Riggs
1969, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (14) 95-110
Mean flow of a stream is usually computed from a continuous record of flow ai a gaging station. A less costly method consists of (1) estimating 12 individual monthly flows from one discharge measurement per month and a concurrent gaging station record on a nearby stream, using a...

Effect of rainfall variability on streamflow simulation
D.R. Dawdy, James M. Bergmann
1969, Water Resources Research (5) 958-966
Three recording rain gages in a 9.7‐square‐mile basin in southern California were used with a deterministic rainfall‐runoff model to simulate flood hydrographs and peaks and to assess the effects of data errors on simulation results. Bias in the estimation of effective basin rainfall seemed to result in curve fitting parameter...

An application of surface geophysical techniques to the study of watershed hydrology
Ronald R. Shields, William E. Sopper
1969, Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) (5) 37-49
The applicability of geophysical methods to experimental watershed research is demonstrated by a study of a 106-acre forested watershed in central Pennsylvania. Data from a shallow seismic refraction study and an electrical resistivity study of the watershed were used to determine the depth of soils, their volumes, depth to bedrock,...
Hydrology of carbonate rock terranes — A review: With special reference to the United States
V. T. Stringfield, H. E. LeGrand
1969, Journal of Hydrology (8) 349-376
Limestone and other carbonate rocks are characterized by many unusual features and extreme conditions, either involving the hydrologic system within them or wrought by hydrologic conditions on them or through them. Perhaps there could be little agreement as to what is typical or average for the many features of carbonate...

New thrusts in ground water
C. L. McGuinness
1969, Groundwater (7) 7-10
Four principal trends in ground water are apparent:(1) Increasing use of ground water for domestic supplies. Geohydrologists must learn to quantitatively evaluate the supply under conditions of maximum development, not merely determine the availability of a supply that does not strain the aquifer. (2) Aquifers will be looked to increasingly...

In 1950 the U. S. Soil Conservation Service began construction of floodwater-retarding structures in Texas under authorities granted by the Congress. These authorities provide, where economically feasible, that the program be applied to tributary watersheds of 240,000 acres or less. The usual practice has been to control flood runoff from...
