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...
Chemical quality of Michigan streams
Warren W. Wood
1970, Circular 634
Concentrations of chemical constituents of Michigan streams exhibit regional patterns that are primarily a function of geology and evapotranspiration. However, in some areas waste disposal by municipal and industrial organizations has altered the natural distribution and concentrations of dissolved material. Concentration and areal distribution of chemical constitutents were found to...
A review of water resources of the Umiat area, northern Alaska
John R. Williams
1970, Circular 636
Surface-water supplies from the Colville River, small tributary creeks, and lakes are abundant in summer but limited in winter by low or zero flow in streams and thick ice cover on lakes. Fresh ground water occurs in unfrozen zones in alluvium and in the upper part of bedrock beneath the...
Urban sprawl and flooding in southern California
S. E. Rantz
1970, Circular 601-B
The floods of January 1969 in south-coastal California provide a timely example of the effect of urban sprawl on flood damage. Despite recordbreaking, or near recordbreaking, stream discharges, damage was minimal in the older developed areas that are protected against inundation and debris damage by carefully planned flood-control facilities, including...
Water laws and concepts
H. E. Thomas
1970, Circular 629
Throughout human history various laws and customs have developed concerning the individual rights and rights in common to the waters of the earth. Many existing laws and concepts are clearly influenced by the environment in which they originated and reflect the relative abundance or scarcity of water. Many concepts reflect...
Analyses of rock and stream-sediment samples from the Craig C-6 Quadrangle, Alaska
Allen L. Clark, Henry C. Berg, Donald A. Grybeck, A. Thomas Ovenshine, Raymond Wehr
1970, Open-File Report 70-70
Analytical data for 26 rock and 8 stream-sediment samples from the Craig C-6, 1:63,360-scale quadrangle are presented in this report, together with a statistical treatment of the data. The samples were collected in 1969 as part of the Heavy Metals Program of the U.S. Geological Survey.The most comprehensive discussion of...
A proposed streamflow-data program in Alaska
J.M. Childers
1970, Open-File Report 70-62
The streamflow-data program in Alaska was analyzed to design a better data network. The analysis included (1) definition of the goals of the streamflow-data program, (2) evaluation of the available data to see which goals have already been achieved, and (3) consideration and recommendation of future programs to achieve the...
