Water resources data for Kansas, water year 1977 Water resources data for Kansas, water year 1977

Water resources data for the 1977 water year for Kansas consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality in wells. This report contains discharge records for 149 gaging stations; stage and contents for 20 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 77 gaging stations and 2...

Map showing saturated thickness of unconsolidated aquifer in southwestern Kansas, January 1978 Map showing saturated thickness of unconsolidated aquifer in southwestern Kansas, January 1978

The principal aquifer in the 13-county area of southwestern Kansas occurs in the heterogeneous, unconsolidated alluvial deposits of Tertiary and Quaternary age. The main body of this ground-water reservoir is designated as the unconsolidated aquifer. The map showing the saturated thickness of deposits in the unconsolidated aquifer was prepared by comparing maps showing the altitude and

Guidelines for the use of structural versus regression analysis in geomorphic studies Guidelines for the use of structural versus regression analysis in geomorphic studies

Simple-regression and structural analysis are similar methods of developing a linear relation from a bivariant group of data. Regression analysis is a useful curve-fitting technique, but often is misapplied to geomorphic data sets. When error components can be identified for both variables, the statistical technique of structural analysis is preferred. If regression results are available

Hydrologic data for Soldier Creek Basin, Kansas Hydrologic data for Soldier Creek Basin, Kansas

Selected hydrologic data collected in the Soldier Creek basin in Kansas are available on magnetic tape in card-image format. Data on the tape include water discharge in fifteen-minute and daily time intervals; rainfall in fifteen-minute and daily time intervals; concentrations and particle sizes of suspended sediment; particle sizes of bed material; ground-water levels; and chemical...

January 1977 water levels, and data related to water-level changes since 1950, western Kansas January 1977 water levels, and data related to water-level changes since 1950, western Kansas

This report contains basic data on water-level measurements in observation wells in western Kansas. Most of the measurements were made in January 1977; a few were made in December 1976 and in February 1977. The measurements were made in mid-winter when pumping was minimal and water levels had recovered from the effects of pumping during the previous irrigation season. This report also...

A method for adjusting values of Manning's roughness coefficient for flooded urban areas A method for adjusting values of Manning's roughness coefficient for flooded urban areas

A method is presented for adjusting values of Manning's roughness coefficient for flooded urban areas on the basis of the density of buildings on a flood plain and verified roughness coefficients for natural conditions. An urban roughness coefficient can be calculated to emulate the water-surface profiles to within 0.06 meter for depths of flow less than 0.6 meter and plus or minus 10...
