PREFACE

This report supplements Bulletin No. 7 "Annotated Bibliography on 

Hydrology (1951-54) and Sedimentation (1950-54)" which was published under the sponsorship of the Subcommittees on Hydrology and 

Sedimentation, Inter-Agency Committee on Water Resources. Earlier 

reports, "Annotated Bibliography on Hydrology (1941-50)" published 

in the Hydrologic Activities series as Bulletin No. 5, June 1952, and 

"Annotated Bibliography on Sedimentation" published in the Sedimentation series as Bulletin No. 2, Feb. 1950, were compiled and edited 

under the auspices of subcommittees of the Federal Inter-Agency River 

Basin Committee (predecessor to the Inter-Agency Committee on 

Water Resources).

The following agencies, participating on the Subcommittees on Hydrology and Sedimentation, Inter-Agency Committee on Water Resources, 

furnished for this bibliography annotated entries for articles and reports 

published by their respective agencies and for selected papers written by 

their personnel but published elsewhere:

Department of Agriculture

Agricultural Research Service

Forest Service

Soil Conservation Service

Department of Defense 

Corps of Engineers 

U.S. Army

Department of Commerce 

Bureau of Public Roads

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON HYDROLOGY AND 

SEDIMENTATION, UNITED STATES AND CANADA

1955-58

Compiled by H. C. RIGGS

INTRODUCTION

This publication contains a selected list of papers, articles, and books 

which were published in the period 1955 through 1958 in the United 

States and Canada. Every effort has been made to include all listings 

of significant technical value in the fields of hydrology and sedimentation. 

In addition to articles on those primary subjects it cites articles in the 

fields of the many allied sciences. The compilation is largely the result 

of a shelf-by-shelf search of several large libraries with the decision as to 

inclusion of articles resting with the compiler.

The bibliography includes entries of data compilations and data reports which are not part of a regular series, such as the annual surfacewater reports of the Geological Survey or the monthly and annual 

climatological reports of the Weather Bureau. The bibliography does 

not include articles on construction of water-resources developments, 

articles describing methods of making chemical and biochemical water 

analyses, articles of local interest only, or articles in a semipopular style 

which report the findings given in other papers. Many periodicals having 

limited distribution and directed toward nontechnical readers were not 

searched. Theses and other reports having very limited circulation are 

not included. The cooperative reports issued by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service each winter for major Western river basins and titled 

"Water Supply Outlook" were not included as their subject matter was 

not pertinent.

Annotations are brief and are intended only to indicate to the reader 

whether or not the article referred to might furnish information of the 

type sought. A few articles are not annotated, either because the article 

was not available or because the title adequately described the article.

Listings are arranged alphabetically by author, followed by a combined 

subject and geographic location or river-basin index. Each article is 

indexed by primary subject, and by geographic area if applicable. Some 

articles are also indexed by secondary subjects. The smallest geographic 

areas listed in the index are States and Provinces or river basins.

Gypsum blocks were cast in tubes at 6-inch intervals and were tested and found 

satisfactory. Advantages are ease of installation and intimate contact with undisturbed soil.

and wind velocities between 1 and 4 miles per hour. Soil moisture tension

Two-dimensional steady-state drainage problems are investigated by the method 

of electric analogues for a soil whose permeability is anisotropic. For the two cases 

of anisotropy studied, it is shown (1) how the height of the water table varies with 

rate of rainfall for a particular drain diameter, (2) the manner in which the drain 

diameter is related to water-table height for a given rainfall, and (3) how an 

impermeable bed below the drains influences the flow. Results are compared with 

published results for isotropic soils.

Relationships between snowmelt and the climatic factors of air temperature,

2. Evaporation and moisture and heat fields in the soil: Jour. Meteorology, v. 14, 

no. 4, p. 354-366, 1957.

A mathematical analysis, confined to steady conditions, suggests that desiccation of 

bare soil takes place in three phases: (1) so long as soil is sufficiently moist, evaporation is indistinguishable from that from a saturated surface, (2) at intermediate 

moisture contents, evaporation depends only on soil-moisture distribution, and 

(3) when surface layers are sufficiently dry, evaporation is sensitive to the heat flux 

in the soil. The theoretical developments provide a guide for future experimentation.

5. The theory of infiltration; 3. Moisture profiles and relation to experiment:

In this third paper of the series, the basic assumptions of the mathematical analysis 

discussed in earlier papers are critically examined, and a simplification of the 

analysis is made for initially "dry" media. An investigation of the effect on the 

moisture profile during infiltration of the diffusivity and conductivity functions is 

made. From this the effects of soil texture and initial moisture content follow.

content of the soil.

8. The theory of infiltration; 6. Effect of depth of water over soil: Soil Sci., v. 85, 

no. 5, p. 278-286, 1958.

This sixth paper extends the mathematical analysis of the infiltration problem to the 

case where the depth of water over the soil is nonzero and so enables the effect of 

water depth on infiltration to be studied in some detail.

water levels; amplitude and lag of tidal fluctuations; and mineral content, pH,

1. Experimental studies on the relation between transpiration rate and meteorological elements: Am. Geophys. Union Trans., v. 39, p. 249-265, 1958. 

Transpiration rate was measured using a wind tunnel which can maintain any meteorological condition. The potometer method was examined and found satisfactory.
UNITED STATES AND CANADA, 1955-58 219

The relation of transpiration rate to radiation intensity and wind velocity was 

defined. Systematic relations were found between leaf temperature, transpiration 

rate, and meteorological elements. 

2. The total transpiration from a forest: Am. Geophys. Union Trans., v. 39,

p. 266-272, 1958.

Total leaf weight was found to be proportional to square of breast-height diameter. 

A relation between transpiration rate and meteorological elements was defined for 

a single species and used to estimate the total transpiration from a 1.1-acre forest.

1. Soil water depletion by pine and hardwood stands during a dry season: Forest

Sci., v. 1, no. 4, p. 258-264, 1955.

Measurements of soil moisture on pine and on hardwood plots showed little difference in rate of loss between the two stands for corresponding depths. In both 

stands, layers below 3 feet lost water at about half the rate of the upper layers.

2. Evaluating summer water deficiencies: U.S. Forest Service, Southern Forest 

Expt. Sta. Occasional Paper 150, 18 p., 1956.

Thornthwaite's concept of potential evapotranspiration, combined with an understanding of water needs and supplies, can be used to estimate water deficiencies 

suffered by trees. This paper presents background material and data for evaluations 

on upland pine-hardwood forests of the Midsouth.

3. Hardwood understory depletes water in pine stands: Forest Sci., v. 4, no. 3,

p. 178-184, 1958.

Soil water depletion by pine stands with and without hardwood understories was 

measured through four summers in Arkansas. Midsummer water-loss rates were 

about 25 percent greater in plots with understory than in those without.

A study of radially symmetrical, unconfined flow to a well is given. The problem is 

approached by combining the electric analogy for hydraulic flow with the membrane 

analogy for a free surface. Experimental results are used to develop empirical 

relationships between the flow and geometric variables. (Discussion by Robert E.
