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...
The challenge of water management
Luna Bergere Leopold
1960, Circular 414-B
In a sandy, riverside location in Wisconsin my family has a farm, once abandoned by a previous owner because it would not produce much corn. By the time we bought it for a pittance, only a few remnants of white pine remained from the magnificent stands made famous by Paul...
Progress report on use of water by riparian vegetation, Cottonwood Wash, Arizona
E. L. Hendricks, William Kam, James E. Bowie
1960, Circular 434
Measurements of streamflow, ground-water levels, and meterological data obtained in a 4.1-mile reach of the flood plain of Cottonwood Wash, Mohave County, Ariz., define the use of water by riparian vegetation in that part of the stream valley. The computed evapotranspiration loss during the growing season of 1959 was 175...
A field instrument for quantitative determination of beryllium by activation analysis
William W. Vaughn, E.E. Wilson, J.M. Ohm
1960, Circular 427
A low-cost instrument has been developed for quantitative determinations of beryllium in the field by activation analysis. The instrument makes use of the gamma-neutron reaction between gammas emitted by an artificially radioactive source (Sb124) and beryllium as it occurs in nature. The instrument and power source are mounted in a...
Preliminary report on ground water in the Salmon Falls area, Twin Falls County, Idaho
Kenneth H. Fowler
1960, Circular 436
The Salmon Falls area contains about 80,000 acres of irrigable land, of which about 30,000 acres receives some water from the distribution system of Salmon River Canal Co., Ltd. This system utilizes virtually all the available surface water. A substantial amount of surface water, estimated to be about 70,000...
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...
Occurrence of strontium in natural water
M. W. Skougstad, C. Albert Horr
1960, Circular 420
The regions where the stable strontium content of surface waters is relatively low (less than 0.50 ppm) include the Pacific Northwest, Northeastern United States, and the Central Lowlands, Particularly the Lower Mississippi basin and the Western Gulf Coast area. Moderate concentrations of strontium (0.50 to 1.5 ppm) are found in...
