River mileages and drainage areas for Illinois streams—Volume 1, Illinois except Illinois River basin
River mileages are presented for points of interest on Illinois streams draining 10 square miles or more. Points of interest include bridges, dams, gaging stations, county lines, hydrologic unit boundaries, and major tributaries. Drainage areas are presented for selected sites, including total drainage area for any stream draining at least 100 square miles. The report is contained in two volumes.

Chemical analyses of surface water in Illinois, 1975-77--Volume I, Des Plaines River basin and Lake Michigan
Samples of surface water were collected and analyzed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The results from water years 1975 to 1977 are presented in three volumes. The history of sampling and analytical methods used during that period are summarized. Stream discharge data from records of the U.S. Geological Survey are included for all sites where samples were collected at gaging statio

Hydrology of major estuaries and sounds of North Carolina
Hydrology-related problems associated with North Carolina's major estuaries and sounds include contamination of some estuaries with municipal and industrial wastes and drainage from adjacent intensively-farmed areas, and nuisance-level algal blooms. In addition, there is excessive shoaling in some navigation channels, saltwater intrusion into usually fresh estuarine reaches, too-high or too-low sa

Water quality of the French Broad River, North Carolina : An analysis of data collected at Marshall, 1958-77
An investigation of water quality in the industrialized French Broad River basin of western North Carolina has identified water-quality variations, the extent of man's influence on water quality, and trends in changes in the chemical quality of the river. The study centered on data collected during 1958-77 at the U.S. Geological Survey's station at Marshall, N.C. The French Broad is a clean river.

A technique for estimating heights reached by the 100-year flood on unregulated, nontidal streams in North Carolina
A method for estimating the heights reached by floods having a recurrence interval of 100 years is defined for nontidal streams with unregulated flows in North Carolina. The flood heights are the vertical distance between stream stage at median discharge (50 percent duration) and the 100-year flood stage and are defined for streams draining areas between 1 and 10,000 square miles for each of the t

Water quality in the proposed Prosperity Reservoir area, Center Creek Basin, Missouri
Water in Center Creek basin, Mo., upstream from the proposed Prosperity Reservoir damsite is a calcium bicarbonate type that is moderately mineralized, hard, and slightly alkaline. Ammonia and organic nitrogen, phosphorus, total organic carbon, chemical oxygen demand, and bacteria increased considerably during storm runoff, probably due to livestock wastes. Nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations a

Hydrologic data for Mountain Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1977
The collection of hydrologic data by the U.S. Geological Survey in the Mountain Creek watershed began on March 9, 1925, with the establishment of a stream-gaging station located about 2.5 miles upstream from the present site of Mountain Creek Lake Dam. The stream-gaging station was discontinued on July 5, 1933. Daily streamflow records obtained at this site are published in the annual series of Ge

Statistical summaries of surface-water-quality data for selected sites in Oklahoma, through the 1975 water year
Statistical summaries of surface-water-quality data for 47 streams in Oklahoma have been compiled. Data for the period of record through the 1975 water year at each site were used to develop regression equations for specific conductance-constituent relationships for calcium, magnesium, sodium, sodium plus potassium, bicarbonate, sulfate, chloride, silica, and dissolved solids. Minimum, mean, and m

Modeling highly transient flow, mass, and heat transport in the Chattahoochee River near Atlanta, Georgia
A coupled flow-temperature model has been developed and verified for a 27.9-km reach of the Chattahoochee River between Buford Dam and Norcross, Ga. Flow in this reach of the Chattahoochee is continuous but highly regulated by Buford Dam, a flood-control and hydroelectric facility located near Buford, Ga. Calibration and verification utilized two sets of data collected under highly unsteady discha

Supplement to floods in the upper Des Moines River basin, Iowa
Data on the East Fork Des Moines River for the August 1979 flood between river miles 330.4 and 408.8 is being published as a supplement to the report "Floods in the Upper Des Moines River basin, Iowa" (Schwab, 1970). Elevation profiles of the 1979 flood, along with previously published profiles, are shown in figures 2-4.
