The water quality of Sam Rayburn Reservoir, eastern Texas
Inflow of wastes to the Angelina River has caused some local deterioration of the quality of water downstream from Lufkin. However, the volume of flow in the Angelina River has been adequate to prevent serious deterioration of the quality of water in Sam Rayburn Reservoir.
From March 1965 to September 1968, the time-weighted concentration of dissolved solids in water released from Sam Rayburn Rese

Water resources of the upper White River basin, east-central Indiana
Ground-water discharge to the streams sustains year-round streamflow in the upper White River basin. This discharge, referred to as ground-water runoff or base runoff, is considered to be an index to the amount of g ound water available for development. A comparison of the variations of groundwater runoff and aquifer distribution in the basin shows that the areas of best development potential are

Thermal study of the Missouri River in North Dakota using infrared imagery
Studies of infrared imagery obtained from aircraft at 305- to 1,524- meter altitudes indicate the feasibility of monitoring thermal changes attributable to the operation of thermal-electric plants and storage reservoirs, as well as natural phenomena such as tributary inflow and ground-water seeps, in large rivers. No identifiable sources of ground-water inflow below t he surface of the river could

Estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in Wisconsin
This report provides methods for estimating flood characteristics at most sites where flood information may be needed for planning and design and summatizes the significant flood data and related information available on Wisconsin streams. Individual equations are presented for estimating flood discharges for selected recurrence intervals up to a 25-year flood for drainage areas 0.5 square miles a

Floods on Yahara River, Lake Mendota to Lake Kegonsa, Dane County, Wisconsin, 1971
The profile and an approximate outline of the flooded area for the regional (100-year) flood has been determined for a 21.3-mile reach of the Yahara River, Dane County, Wisconsin, from State Highway 113 at the head of Lake Mendota downstream to the dam at the outlet of Lake Kegonsa. The reach consists principally of lake surface, which results in large amounts of flood-storage volume. The regional

Geological Survey research 1971, Chapter D
This collection of 39 short papers in the third published chapter of "Geological Survey Research 1971." The papers report on scientific and economic results of current work by members of the Geologic and Water Resources Divisions of the U.S. Geological Survey.
Chapter A, to be published later in the year, will present a summary of significant results of work done in fiscal year 197, together wit
