Flood hazards in the Seattle-Tacoma urban complex and adjacent areas, Washington

Floods are natural hazards that have complicated man's land-use planning for as long as we have had a history. Although flood hzards are a continuing danger, the year-to-year threat cannot be accurately predicted. Also, on any one stream, the time since the last destructive flood might be so long that most people now living near the stream have not experienced such a flood. Because of the unpredic

Digital-simulation and projection of water-level declines in basalt aquifers of the Odessa-Lind area, east-central Washington

A digital computer program using finite-difference techniques simulates an intensively pumped, multilayered basalt-aquifer system near Odessa. The aquifers now developed are in the upper 1,000 feet of a regionally extensive series of southwesterly dipping basalt flows of the Columbia River Group. Most of the aquifers are confined. Those in the depth range of about 500 to 1,000 feet are the chief s

Magnitude and frequency of floods in Washington

Relations are provided to estimate the magnitude and frequency of floods on Washington streams. Annual-peak-flow data from stream gaging stations on unregulated streams having 1 years or more of record were used to determine a log-Pearson Type III frequency curve for each station. Flood magnitudes having recurrence intervals of 2, 5, i0, 25, 50, and 10years were then related to physical and climat

Numerical model of the salt-wedge reach of the Duwamish River estuary, King County, Washington

A numerical model of a salt-wedge estuary developed by Fischer has been expanded and used to calculate the distributions of salinity, temperature, chlorophyll a concentrations, biochemical oxygen demand, and dissolved-oxygen concentrations in the Duwamish River estuary, King County, Wash. With this model, which was calibrated and verified with observed data, computed temperatures usually agreed wi
