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...
