Effects of ground-water development on the proposed Palmetto Bend Dam and Reservoir in southeast Texas
Ground water continues to discharge into the Navidad and Lavaca Rivers by seepage outflow even though large amounts of ground water are pumped for irrigation. Although a reduction in streamflow probably has occurred, a complete loss of the low flow of the streams by infiltration to a lowered water table seems remote. The large ground-waterwithdrawals will continue to cause land-surface subsidence,

Water-budget studies of lower Mesilla Valley and El Paso Valley, El Paso County, Texas
The total inflow of water to the lower Mesilla Valley in 1970 was 390,510 acre-feet. Of this amount, 43,300 acre-feet was consumptively used by crops and phreatophytes and 4,700 acre-feet was lost by evaporation. Ground-water storage increased by 320 acre-feet, and 360,860 acrefeet left the valley as surface- and ground-water outflow.
Ground-water recharge was approximately 26,170 acre-feet.Th

Flood of August 2, 1972, in the Little Maquoketa River basin, Dubuque County, Iowa
Flood peaks with magnitudes from 2 to 3 times the SO-year flood occurred on streams in the Little Maquoketa River basin for the flood of August 2, 1972. Up to nine inches of rain fell in the headwater of the Middle Fork tributary with six to seven inches occurring over most of the Little Maquoketa River basin. The flood peak elevation at the gaging station near Durango exceeded the 1925 flood of r

Floods in the Iowa River basin upstream from Coralville Lake, Iowa
Flood information is reported for 207 miles of the main stem, 23 miles on the West Branch, and 23 miles on the East Branch, of the Iowa River. The information will be of use to those concerned with the design of bridges and other structures and the conduct of various operations on the flood plains of the streams. Included in the report are flood-peak records, gaging-station records, and water-surf

Ground control requirements for precision processing of ERTS images
With the successful flight of the ERTS-1 satellite, orbital height images are available for precision processing into products such as 1:1,000,000-scale photomaps and enlargements up to 1:250,000 scale. In order to maintain positional error below 100 meters, control points for the precision processing must be carefully selected, clearly definitive on photos in both X and Y. Coordinates of selected

A network for continuous monitoring of water quality in the Sabine River basin, Texas and Louisiana
The proposed water-quality network for the Sabine River Basin of Texas and Louisiana consists of nine monitoring stations, a central control station, a slave-central station, and a leased-line telecommunications system. This monitoring network would provide continuous transmission of water-quality data to the office of the water manager.
Level I operations at a proposed site would monitor current
