Water in the world
Luna Bergere Leopold
1964, The UNESCO Courier (17) 11-13
The earth, Including Its oceans and atmosphere, ls a giant distillation system whose operation brings about the distribution of fresh water throughout the world, from the frozen wastes of polar regions to the burning equatorial deserts. Stated in the simplest terms, distillation, condensation and liquid flow are the elemental processes...

Dissolved-mineral inflow to Great Salt Lake and chemical characteristics of the salt lake brine. Part I: Selected hydrologic data
D. C. Hahl, C.G. Mitchell
1963, Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey Water-Resources Bulletin 3-I
This report presents the data collected for a study of the dissolved-mineral load contributed by surficial sources to Great Salt Lake, Utah. The study was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the University of Utah during the period from July 1959 through June 1962, and is part...

Hydrology of Brooklyn Lake near Keystone Heights, Florida
William E. Clark, Rufus H. Musgrove, Clarence G. Menke, Joseph W. Cagle Jr.
1963, Florida Geological Survey Report of Investigations 33
Brooklyn Lake receded about 20 feet during 1954-58 and reached its lowest stage of record (97.2 feet) in February 1958; this was the lowest stage in the memory of longtime residents. This unusually large recession was a result of deficient rainfall during more than a 3-year period, January 1954 to...
Use of hydrologic models in the analysis of flood runoff
John Shen
1963, Report
The analog technique is applied to the analysis of flood runoff. A quasi-linear analog model has been developed for simulating the runoff-producing characteristics of a drainage system. Where storage is linear a unique relationship correlating the inflow and outflow peaks is derived. The technique for synthesizing flood-frequency distribution is also...
Water for the proposed West Side Campground site, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Paul T. Voegeli Sr.
1963, Open-File Report 63-128
At the request of the U.S. National Park Service, the U S. Geological Survey investigated the possibility of obtaining a water supply at the proposed West Side Campground Site in the western part of Rocky Mountain Park (fig. 1).The first field investigation of the site, made July 24, 1962, revealed...

Autocorrelation of rainfall and streamflow minimums
N.C. Matalas
1963, Professional Paper 434-B
Hydrologic time series of annual minimum mean monthly rainfall and annual minimum 1-day and 7-day discharge, considered as drought indices, were used to study the distribution of droughts with respect to time. The rainfall data were found to be nearly random. The discharge data, however, were found to be nonrandomly...

Effects of drought in basins of interior drainage: Chapter E in Drought in the Southwest, 1942-56
H. E. Thomas
1963, Professional Paper 372-E
The effects of the recent drought 1942-56 have varied widely in the Southwestern basins of interior drainage which include, in addition to the Great Basin of Nevada, Utah, and California many smaller basins in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. These closed basins are characteristically separate hydrologic units, and their water...
