Flow routing in the Susquehanna River Basin: Part I - Effects of Raystown Lake on the low-flow frequency characteristics of the Juniata and lower Susquehanna Rivers, Pennsylvania
A flow-routing model was used to simulate 17 water years of daily streamflows at five sites. The sites were Mapleton Depot and Newport, Pennsylvania, on the Juniata River, and Harrisburg and Marietta, Pennsylvania, and Conowingo, Maryland, on the Susquehanna River. The purpose for the simulations was to determine the effects of a new reservoir, Raystown Lake, on the low-flow frequency characterist

Water resources of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Oregon
Water resources of the Umatilla Indian Reservation are poorly distributed both geographically and in time. On the reservation, only the Umatilla River and one of its principal tributaries, Meacham Creek, have significant perennial flows. Runoff of the principal streams is largely from snowmelt in the Blue Mountains and is highly variable. The principal aquifers are the Columbia River Basalt Group

Approximate areas of recharge to the Chicot and Evangeline aquifer systems in the Houston-Galveston area, Texas
The purpose of this report is to show the general geographic areas of recharge to the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas (fig. 1). The areas of recharge shown on the map were determined by interpretations of subsurface hydrology, soil surveys of Harris County, and surface and subsurface geology.

Methods for collection and analysis of aquatic biological and microbiological samples
Chapter A4 contains methods used by the U.S. Geological
Survey to collect, preserve, and analyze waters to determine their
biological and microbiological properties. Part 1 discusses
biological sampling and sampling statistics. The statistical
procedures are accompanied by examples. Part 2 consists of
detailed descriptions of more than 45 individual methods,
including those for bacteria, phy

Time of travel of solutes in the Tuscarawas River Basin, Ohio, August and September, 1974
A time-of-travel study was made on a 10.6-mile reach of the Tuscarawas River to determine average velocity and dispersion characteristics between selected points. The reach was divided into five subreaches, and a fluorescent dye used as a tracer material. At about the 50-percent flow-duration level, time-of-travel of the peak concentration was 137 hours.

Time of travel of solutes in selected reaches of Ohio streams, 1973 and 1975
The basic field data for time-of-travel measurements on six streams in Ohio are presented. In general, additional data on stream cross sections, tributary inflows, and chemical analyses for mainstream and tributary flows are given. Insufficient data were obtained to establish time-distance or time-discharge relationships.
