This report uses a rainfall-runoff simulation model to improve flood-frequency estimates in Tennessee. It includes illustrations, hydrographs, and other maps.

From introduction: The present study is an inventory and appraisal of the water resources of the reservation, including determination of flow in major streams, yield of water to wells and springs, and quality of water. This study was conducted in cooperation with the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation. The cooperation and assistance of many officials of the Confederated Tribes, of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and of the Indian Health Service helped greatly. Well-drilling and test-pumping data and other information generously furnished by Satish Puri, Tribal Engineer, were especially helpful.

From introduction: The purpose of this report is to present information that may enable water users, potential water users, and planners to estimate likelihood of obtaining ground water in adequate quantity and of suitable quality at desired locations within the study area.

From purposes and scope: The purposes of this investigation are to make a qualitative assessment of the effects on water quality of pumping water into the conservation areas, and specifically to evaluate the uptake by sediment and biota of nitrogen, phosphorus, and selected trace elements contained in the water.

From introduction: This report presents practical and useful sediment-yield information for Wisconsin. Measured and estimated sediment yields are supplemented by information on suspended-sediment concentration and particle size of suspended and bed material for 84 sites in the State. To expand the usefulness of these data, an additional section in the report presents a method to estimate or predict sediment yields in ungaged streams.

From abstract: The Hueco Bolson provides a substantial part of the municipal and industrial water supply of the El Paso area of Texas, New Mexico and Mexico. Although the supply of fresh ground water in the bolson is large, about 10.6 million acre-feet (13,070 hm^3) in 1973 in the Texas part of the bolson alone, the supply is being depleted.

Abstract: A digital simulation model was used to analyze regional ground-water flow in the Madison Group aquifer in the Powder River Basin and adjacent areas. Most recharge to the aquifer originates in or near the outcrop areas of the Madison in the Bighorn Mountains and Black Hills , and most discharge occurs through springs and wells. Results from the model calculations indicate that the total flow through the aquifer in the modeled areas was approximately 200 cubic feet per second (5.7 cubic metres per second). The aquifer can probably sustain increased ground-water withdrawals probably would significantly lower the potentiometric surface in the Madison aquifer in a large part of the basin. The digital model could better predict the effects of withdrawals if more accurate estimates of the storage coefficient, transmissivity, and leakance could be obtained.

This report uses a hydrologic system to collect streamflow data from several basins in Davidson County, Tennessee. It includes illustrations, graphs and tables.

Abstract: Laguna La Torrecilla, Laguna de Pinones, Laguna San Jose, and Laguna del Condado, in the San Juan, Puerto Rico area, are located within a metropolitan area of more than 1 million people. Bathymetric maps made during the study, in 1973, showed that Lagunas La Torrecilla, San Jose, and del Condado have been modified by dredging and filling; whereas, Laguna de Pinones has remained in a near natural state. Laguna La Torrecilla has been dredged to a depth, in places, of about 18 metres, and Lagunas San Jose and del Condado, in places to about 11 meters. Dredging in the San Juan lagoons has been harmful, beneficial, and in a few instances has had little or no noticeable effect on the water quality. Usually, dredging in the connecting canals has been beneficial if the water entering the lagoons through the canals was of better quality than the water in the lagoon. Dredging in the mouths of lagoons has been beneficial; whereas, filling or blocking the mouths has been harmful.
