Estimating steady-state evaporation rates from bare soils under conditions of high water table

A procedure that combines meteorological and soil equations of water transfer makes it possible to estimate approximately the steady-state evaporation from bare soils under conditions of high water table. Field data required include soil-water retention curves, water table depth and a record of air temperature, air humidity and wind velocity at one elevation. The procedure takes into account the r

Geology and ground-water resources of Linn County, Iowa

Linn County, in east-central Iowa, covers about 713 square miles and lies in the Western Young Drift section of the Central Lowlands physiographic province. The normal annual rainfall in the county is about 88 inches and the annual mean temperature is about 48°F. The population in 1960 was 136,899, of which 75 percent was urban.Ground water is a vital natural resource in Linn County-all municipal,

Fluvial sediment concepts

This report is the first of a series concerned with the measurement of and recording of information about fluvial sediment and with related environmental data needed to maintain and improve basic sediment knowledge. Concepts presented in this report involve (1) the physical characteristics of sediment which include aspects relative 'to weathering, soils, resistance to erosion, and particle size, (
