Streamflow records of a sample of 41 natural flow stations in an area of the Central Plains were analyzed by electronic computer for the statistics of annual high-flow and low-flow volumes, flow duration, and monthly- and annual-flow discharges. Peak discharges and high- and low-flow volumes for different durations were computed at selected recurrence intervals from statistics of the...

This report has been prepared at the request of the Kansas Water Resources Board under provisions of a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey dated July 1, 1966, for water-resources investigations. The Kansas Water Resources Board has been advised of a recent serious degradation of the low-water channel of the lower Kansas River below Bonner Springs and has requested...

Preliminary flood-frequency relations have been defined for small streams in Kansas for floods having recurrence intervals not greater than 10 years. The defined relations will be useful for the design of culverts and other hydraulic structures. The relations are expressed in terms of basin characteristics. Peakflow records at 95 sites in Kansas for an 8-year period provided the basic...

The Little Blue River drains about 3,37)0 square miles in south-central Nebraska and north-central Kansas. The uppermost bedrock in the basin is limestone and shale of Permian age and sandstone, shale, and limestone of Cretaceous age. Bedrock is exposed in many places in the lower one-third of the basin but elsewhere is buried beneath a thin to thick mantle of younger sediments, mostly...

Runoff is that part of precipitation that appears as a flow of water in surface streams. As a source of water for modern society, it constitutes one of our basic renewable resources. This map of average annual runoff portrays the latest information on the geographic distribution of the average runoff of surface streams.

This report on ground water in the Cimarron River basin was prepared by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey at the request of the U.S. Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, for inclusion in the Corps' overall report on the water resources of the basin. The report is an updating of the Cimarron Basin part of the report on the Arkansas, White, and Red River basins...

Characteristics and transport of sediment in the Little Arkansas River basin in south-central Kansas were studied to determine if the water from the river could be used as a supplemental source for municipal supply or would provide adequate recharge to aquifers that are sources of municipal and agricultural water supplies. During periods when overland 1low contributed a significant...
