Hydrology of two small river basins in Pennsylvania before urbanization, with a section on observation of stream fauna
Basic data on water quantity, chemical quality, and suspended sediment are tabulated to record the conditions existing in two basins near Philadelphia, each about 32 square miles in area. The basins in 1970 are agricultural land for the most part, but urban and industrial development is imminent as the Philadelphia metropolitan area expands. Hopefully, as changes caused by urbanization occur in fu

Channel movement of meandering Indiana streams
The process of channel movement in a meander system involves rotation and translation of meander loops and an increasing path length. The amount of path-length increase is directly proportional to the impulse supplied by discharge and is inversely proportional to the silt-clay percentage of the material composing the channel perimeter.
Comparable paths have been obtained by standardizing measureme

Application of borehole geophysics to water-resources investigations
This manual is intended to be a guide for hydrologists using borehole geophysics in ground-water studies. The emphasis is on the application and interpretation of geophysical well logs, and not on the operation of a logger. It describes in detail those logging techniques that have been utilized within the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, and those used in petroleum investiga

Determination of minor elements in water by emission spectroscopy
With the emission spectrograph, the analyst is able to determine many minor elements simultaneously in water samples. Spectrographic methods differ chiefly in techniques of preconcentrating the elements. For waters with dissolved solids of less than 1,000 milligrams per liter, the method of evaporating to dryness and determining the elements in the dried residue is sensitive, precise, and reasonab

Index of surface-water records to September 30, 1970: Part 13. - Snake River basin
This report lists the streamflow and reservoir stations in the Snake River basin for which records have been or are to be published in reports of the Geological Survey for periods through September 30, 1970. It supersedes Geological Survey Circular 583. It was updated by personnel of the Data Response Unit, Water Resources Division, Geological Survey.

Reconnaissance of selected minor elements in surface waters of the United States, October 1970
A nationwide reconnaissance of selected minor elements in water resources of the 50 States and Puerto Rico was made by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife during autumn, 1970. Initiated in response to the growing need for data on minor elements in water, including toxic metals, the synoptic survey provides an up-to-date baseline of such da

Streamflow, sediment-transport, and water-temperature characteristics of the three small watersheds in the Alsea River basin, Oregon
Data collected during the prelogging period 1959-65 indicate an average annual runoff for Needle Branch and Deer and Flynn Creeks of 74.2, 75.1, and 77.7 inches, respectively. The measured precipitation at Flynn Creek of 92.9 inches was 5 inches less than at either Needle Branch or Deer Creek. Unit flood runoff during the prelogging period was found to be lowest on Flynn Creek and highest on Needl
