Falling-stream turbidimeter as a means of measuring sediment concentrations in streams
An optical (photocell) sensing device was used to measure the relative transparency characteristics of sediment suspensions with a view toward improving our ability to measure the temporal variations of suspended-sediment concentration moving in streams. The instrument used was a commercial "falling stream" turbidimeter that measured the relative transparency of a gravity induced smooth flat sampl

Cloudburst floods in Utah, 1939-69
During 1939-69, 836 cloudburst floods were reported in Utah. The largest number was in 1965, when 88 floods were reported; 63 floods were reported in 1968, and 56 were reported in 1961. The smallest number of floods reported was three in 1944. In 1942, 1948, and 1950, six floods were reported each year. The main source of data was newspaper reports.Cloudburst floods in Utah were experienced in the

Water-quality data for the Flaming Gorge Reservoir area, Utah and Wyoming, 1969-72
This report presents the basic data that were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during a study of the chemical quality of water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir. An interpretive report will follow. The basic data were collected from the reservoir during six sampling runs between October 1970 and September 1972. The reservoir was sampled for chemical analyses at 17 sites. Chemical and physical data

Annual summary of water quality data for selected sites in the Pacific Northwest, October 1971 to September 1972
Water resources data collected in the Pacific Northwest during the 1972 water year include chemical and physical characteristics of surface water. Data included in this report were collected by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey under the direction of the following district chiefs: H.K. Hall, Idaho; George M. Pike, Montana; S.F. Kapustka, Oregon; and L.B. Laird, Washington.

Effect of urban development on floods in the Piedmont Province of North Carolina
This report relates peak discharges for recurrence intervals ranging up to 100 years to drainage area, stream length, stream slope, and percent of basin covered by impervious surfaced. The relations are based on analysis of flood information for approximately 200 sites, 42 of which are in metropolitan areas of the North Carolina Piedmont providence. The estimating relations are limited to providin
