Relation of precipitation to annual ground-water recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas
Annual recharge data obtained from historical records and mean-annual precipitation data computed from rainfall records were used to develop simple linear-regression equations for use in estimating annual recharge for seven subbasins in the San Antonio area. Adjustments were made to the precipitation parameter to account for the effects of year-end storms. The standard errors of estimate of the re

Data summary of June-July 1975 floods in eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota
Torrential rains during late June and early July 1975, combined with wet antecedent conditions, caused severe flooding, mainly along the lower reaches of the Sheyenne and Maple Rivers and their tributaries in North Dakota, and in the Buffalo and Wild Rice River basins in Minnesota. The Red River of the North from the Fargo-Moorhead area to the Halstad, Minnesota area was also severely flooded. Bec

The Black Hills-Rapid City flood of June 9-10, 1972: A description of the storm and flood
On June 9, 1972, an almost stationary group of thunderstorms formed over the eastern Black Hills of South Dakota near Rapid City and produced record amounts of rainfall and flood discharges. Nearly 15 inches of rain fell in about 6 hours near Nemo, S. Dak., and more than 10 inches of rain fell over a 60-square-mile area. The resulting floods were the highest ever recorded in South Dakota. At least

Environmental tritium in the Edwards Aquifer, central Texas 1963-71
Tritium concentrations of samples from 50 wells and springs in the Edwards aquifer in the San Antonio area of Texas have been analysed. Tritium now in the aquifer is partly natural cosmic ray produced tritium, but most is tritium produced by atmospheric thermonuclear tests in the 1950's and early 1960's. The tritium levels in atmospheric precipitation and streams recharging the Edwards are present
