Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources–Texas-Gulf region Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources–Texas-Gulf region
Ground water in the Texas-Gulf Region is a large and important resource that can provide a more significant percentage of the total water supply of the region. Total water requirements within the region are projected to rise sharply from 14 million acre-feet (17 cubic kilometres) in 1970 to nearly 26 million acre-feet (32 cubic kilometres) in 2020. About half of the water used in 1970...

Water quality characteristics of six small lakes in Missouri: Mo. Dept. of Natural Resources. Water quality characteristics of six small lakes in Missouri: Mo. Dept. of Natural Resources.
A study of six small lakes, representative of those in the major physiographic regions of Missouri, shows variation in physical. chemical, and biological characteristics related to their location in the Slate. For example, because of climatic differences, ice cover and winter stratification are more prevalent in northern Missouri. Summer stratification lasts about one month longer in the...

Statistical analysis of water-level, springflow, and streamflow data for the Edwards Aquifer in south-central Texas Statistical analysis of water-level, springflow, and streamflow data for the Edwards Aquifer in south-central Texas
Water-level, springflow, and streamflow data were used to develop simple and multiple linear-regression equations for use in estimating water levels in wells and the flow of three major springs in the Edwards aquifer in the eastern San Antonio area. The equations provide daily, monthly, and annual estimates that compare very favorably with observed data. Analyses of geologic and...

Hydrologic data for Little Elm Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1976 Hydrologic data for Little Elm Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1976
This report contains rainfall, runoff, and storage data collected during the 1976 water year for a 75.5 sq mi area above the stream-gaging station Little Elm Creek near Aubrey, Texas. Floodflows from 35.7 sq mi of the area are regulated by 16 floodwater-retarding structures constructed by the Soil Conservation Service. During the 1976 water year, five storm periods were selected for...

Flood of June 27, 1975, in City of Ames, Iowa Flood of June 27, 1975, in City of Ames, Iowa
On June 27, 1975, the city of Ames and vicinity sustained severe flooding from Squaw creek and the south Skunk River. The storm which preceded the flood was net particularly outstanding in its intensity or duration. However, antecedent conditions plus the timing and direction of the storm were "ideally tuned" to cause the flood. In terms of magnitude of discharge as well as of damages...
