An investigation of basin effects on flood discharges in North Dakota An investigation of basin effects on flood discharges in North Dakota
An investigation of the relationship of peak discharge to causative storm variables and drainage-basin characteristics was made to provide guidelines for future analyses of frequency and magnitudes of floods from small drainage areas. The procedure used was (l) to estimate peak discharges on the ll study basins from multiple-regression models developed from the storm variables and (2) to...

Geohydrology of Crow Creek and Lower Brule Indian Reservations, South Dakota Geohydrology of Crow Creek and Lower Brule Indian Reservations, South Dakota
Effective improvement of economic and social conditions of Indians living on Crow Creek and Lower Brule Reservations has been hampered by lack of adequate and reliable information about the quantity and quality of water supplies available for development. Compounding the problem, and making especially pressing the need for discovery and development of new water supplies, is the recent...

A method for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in South Dakota A method for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in South Dakota
A general flood-frequency analysis has provided a method for estimating flood magnitudes and frequencies on South Dakota streams. Related flood data useful in planning and design also are included in the report. Two distinct hydrologic regions are delineated within the State. The divisional boundary for these regions is, in general, the western divide of the James River basin. For each...

Ground-water basic data for Griggs and Steele Counties, North Dakota Ground-water basic data for Griggs and Steele Counties, North Dakota
The objectives of the hydrologic investigation in Griggs and Steele Counties, N. Dak. (fig. 1) were to: (1) determine the location, extent, and nature of the major aquifers; (2) evaluate the occurrence and movement of ground water, including recharge and discharge; (3) estimate the quantities of water stored in the aquifers; (4) estimate the potential yields of wells tapping the major...

Flood of June 9-10, 1972, at Rapid City, South Dakota Flood of June 9-10, 1972, at Rapid City, South Dakota
Rapid City, the second largest city in South Dakota, is located at the eastern edge of the Black Hills about 9 miles downstream from Pactola Dam. It is bisected laterally by Rapid Creek, and longitudinally by the eastern flank of the Black Hills. Canyon Lake, a samll recreation reservior having a surface area of 35 to 40 acres, is located near the west city limits on Rapid Creek. The...

Water resources and geology of Mount Rushmore National Memorial, South Dakota Water resources and geology of Mount Rushmore National Memorial, South Dakota
Ground water suitable for public supply can be obtained from fractured metamorphic and igneous rooks at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, S. Dak. The memorial comprises three main drainage basins: Starling basin, Lafferty Gulch basin, and East Boundary basin. Ground water is most prevalent in Lafferty Gulch basin but Starling basin contributes the most surface water. The total water...
