The effect of heated water on the temperature and evaporation of Hyco Lake, North Carolina, 1966-72 The effect of heated water on the temperature and evaporation of Hyco Lake, North Carolina, 1966-72

Three levels of thermal loading of Hyco Lake by heat from two steam-electric generators have resulted in higher temperatures and increased evaporation in the 3,750-acre (1,518 square hectometer) lake. During the winter, local temperature increases of 34°F (19°C) were sometimes observed at the surface as heated water spread out on top of the cooler, more-dense, lake water, affecting areas...

Movement and dispersion of soluble materials in Salem Creek, Muddy Creek, and Yadkin River between Winston-Salem and Salisbury, North Carolina Movement and dispersion of soluble materials in Salem Creek, Muddy Creek, and Yadkin River between Winston-Salem and Salisbury, North Carolina

Wastes entering the Yadkin River from the Winston-Salem area, particularly during heavy rains, resulted in several major fish kills in the late 1960's and early 1970's. The actions undertaken to solve this problem, included the collection of data on the time of travel and dispersion characteristics of the tributaries draining the Winston-Salem area and of the main stem of the Yadkin...

Hydrologic data for Pin Oak Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1972 Hydrologic data for Pin Oak Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1972

The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found a total of approximately 3,500 floodwater-retarding structures to be...

Floods of September-October 1967 in south Texas and northeastern Mexico Floods of September-October 1967 in south Texas and northeastern Mexico

Floods produced by Hurricane Beulah during September and October 1967 were outstanding because of the magnitude of the stage and discharge and because of the number of river basins affected. Previously known maximum stages were exceeded, at the downstream station, in five river basins in Texas by amounts ranging from 2.7 feet at Guadalupe River near Tivoli to 9.2 feet at Aransas River...
