Wetland and water supply
John Augustus Baker
1960, Circular 431
The Geological Survey has received numerous inquiries about the effects of proposed changes in the wetland environment. The nature of the inquiries suggests a general confusion in the public mind as to wetland values and an increasing concern by the public with the need for facts as a basis for...

Water management, agriculture, and ground-water supplies
Raymond L. Nace
1960, Circular 415
Encyclopedic data on world geography strikingly illustrate the drastic inequity in the distribution of the world's water supply. About 97 percent of the total volume of water is in the world's oceans. The area of continents and islands not under icecaps, glaciers, lakes, and inland seas is about 57.5 million...
Double-mass curves, with a section fitting curves to cyclic data
James K. Searcy, Clayton H. Hardison, Walter B. Langbein
1960, Water Supply Paper 1541-B
The double.-mass curve is used to check the consistency of many kinds of hydrologic data by comparing data for a single station with that of a pattern composed of the data from several other stations in the area The double-mass curve can be used to adjust inconsistent precipitation data. The...
Geology, water resources and usable ground-water storage capacity of part of Solano County, California
H.G. Thomasson Jr., F. H. Olmsted, E. F. LeRoux
1960, Water Supply Paper 1464
The area described is confined largely to the valley-floor and foothill lands of Solano County, which lies directly between Sacramento, the State capital, and San Francisco. The area is considered in two subareas: The Putah area, which extends from Putah Creek southward to the Montezuma Hills and from the foothills...

1960, Water Supply Paper 1543-A
This report describes the method used by the U.S. Geological Survey to determine the magnitude and frequency of momentary peak discharges at any place on a stream, whether a gaging-station record is available or not. The method is applicable to a region of any size, as a river basin or...
Graphical correlation of gaging-station records
James K. Searcy
1960, Water Supply Paper 1541-C
A gaging-station record is a sample of the rate of flow of a stream at a given site. This sample can be used to estimate the magnitude and distribution of future flows if the record is long enough to be representative of the long-term flow of the stream. The reliability...

Grid method of determining mean flow-distance in a drainage basin
M.W. Busby, M. A. Benson
1960, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (5) 32-36
The basin characteristics Σal or L ca are useful in hydrologic studies, but existing methods of determining them are either tedious or somewhat inaccurate. The grid method presented herein lessens the amount of tedious labor and provides an accurate measure of either Σal or L ca . An adaptation of the method could be used to compute the...
Variation in surface elevation of the nisqually glacier Mt. Rainier, Washington
A. Johnson
1960, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (5) 54-60
Variation in surface elevations of the Nisqually Glacier has been recorded since 1942 by the annual measurement of three profiles across the glacier, designated as nos. 1, 2, and 3, located 0.5, 1.0, and 1.7 miles respectively from the terminus, at approximate mean elevations of 5,250,6,000, and 6,800 feet. A fourth...
