Drainage basins, channels, and flow characteristics of selected streams in central Pennsylvania
The hydraulic, basin, and geologic characteristics of 16 selected streams in central Pennsylvania were measured for the purpose of studying the relations among these general characteristics and their process of development. The basic parameters which were measured include bankfull width and depth, channel slope, bed material size and shape, length of stream from drainage divide, and size of draina

Short papers in the geologic and hydrologic sciences; Articles 1-146
The scientific and economic results of work by the United States Geological Survey during the fiscal year 1961, the 12 months ending June 30, 1961, will be summarized in four volumes of which this is the first. This volume includes 146 short papers on a variety of subjects in the fields of geology, hydrology, and related sciences, prepared by members of the Geologic, Water Resources, and Conservat

Floods in Wisconsin: Magnitude and frequency
Flood data from gaging stations on Wisconsin rivers and streams are listed in this report. From these data, composite frequency curves were defined which express the ratio of floods of various recurrence intervals to the mean annual flood. Multiple correlation techniques were used to obtain formulas that relate the basin parameters of drainage area, main channel slope, and lake and reservoir surfa

Floods in Pennsylvania, frequency and magnitude
This report outlines a method of determining the magnitude of floods having frequencies up to 50 years for any stream in Pennsylvania except regulated streams and streams whose drainage basins are smaller than 10 square miles. On the main stems of the Schuylkill, Delaware, Susquehanna, and Chemung Rivers the magnitude of floods can be determined for frequencies up to 100 years.
Six composite frequ
