Subsurface waste disposal by means of wells - A selective annotated bibliography
Donald Robert Rima, Edith B. Chase, Beverly M. Myers
1971, Water Supply Paper 2020
Subsurface waste disposal by means of wells is the practice of using drilled wells to inject unwanted substances into underground rock formations. The use of wells for this purpose is not a new idea. As long ago as the end of the last century, it was common practice to drill...
Summary of floods in the United States during 1966
J.O. Rostvedt
1971, Water Supply Paper 1870-D
This report describes the outstanding floods in the United States during 1966. The four most destructive floods occurred during March-April in the Red River of the North basin in northwestern Minnesota, during April-May in northeastern Texas, in August, in east-central Nebraska, and in December, in the Southwestern United States. For...

Generalized flood-frequency estimates for urban areas in Missouri
Ector Eugene Gann
1971, Open-File Report 71-116
A method is presented for estimating flood-frequency information for urban areas in Missouri. Flood-frequency relations are presented which provide an estimate of the flood-peak discharge for floods with recurrence intervals from 2.33 to 100 years for basins with various degrees of existing or projected urban development. Drainage area sizes for...

Hydrologic data for Horseshoe Lake, Arkansas and vicinity
A. G. Lamonds
1971, Open-File Report 71-177
During the summer and fall, seepage and evaporation losses from Horseshoe Lake, an oxbow or an 'old river' lake adjacent to the Mississippi River, exceed inflow to the lake, and seasonal declines of 2.5-3.0 feet in the lake level are common. In exceptionally dry years, the minimum lake level has...
Geohydrologic sections, Cache Valley, Utah and Idaho
L. J. McGreevy, L.J. Bjorklund
1971, Open-File Report 71-193
This report was prepared as a part of a study of the ground-water resources of Cache Valley, Utah and Idaho. The study by the U.S. Geo- logical Survey was made during 1967-70 in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Rights. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation...

Effects of roadway and pond construction on sediment yield near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Lloyd A. Reed
1971, Open-File Report 71-234
This report shows the effects that the construction of half a mile of one-lane roadway during June, July, and August 1970 and construction of a 5-acre pond during August and September 1970, had on sediment concentrations and sediment discharge of a stream draining an area of 0.76 square mile. The...
Preliminary flood-frequency relations and summary of maximum discharges in New Mexico; a progress report
Arthur G. Scott
1971, Open-File Report 71-251
The magnitude and frequency of floods is defined regionally for streams in New Mexico. An analysis was made, using multiple- regression techniques, relating flood peaks of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50-year recurrence intervals to selected physical and climatic basin characteristics. The state was divided into three flood regions, and...
Techniques for assessing water resource potentials in the developing countries: with emphasis on streamflow, erosion and sediment transport, water movement in unsaturated soils, ground water, and remote sensing in hydrologic applications
George C. Taylor Jr.
1971, Open-File Report 72-375
Hydrologic instrumentation and methodology for assessing water-resource potentials have originated largely in the developed countries of the temperature zone. The developing countries lie largely in the tropic zone, which contains the full gamut of the earth's climatic environments, including most of those of the temperate zone. For this reason, most...

Suggested criteria for hydrologic design of storm-drainage facilities in the San Francisco Bay Region, California
Saul Edward Rantz
1971, Open-File Report 71-341
This report presents basic criteria, in the form of tables and graphs, for each of the four methods of hydrologic design most commonly used in the San Francisco Bay region--flood-frequency analysis, Rational Method, unit-hydrograph method, and runoff simulation by means of hydrologic basin modeling. The term "hydrologic design" as used...
