Reference manual for data base on Nevada water-rights permits
The U.S. Geological Survey and Nevada Division of Water Resources have cooperatively developed and implemented a data-base system for managing water-rights permit information for the State of Nevada. The Water-Rights Permit data base is part of an integrated system of computer data bases using the Ingres Relational Data-Base Manage-ment System, which allows efficient storage and access to water information from the State Engineer's office. The data base contains a main table, three ancillary tables, and five lookup tables, as well as a menu-driven system for entering, updating, and reporting on the data. This reference guide outlines the general functions of the system and provides a brief description of data tables and data-entry screens.

Reference manual for data base on Nevada well logs
The U.S. Geological Survey and Nevada Division of Water Resources are cooperatively using a data base for are cooperatively using a data base for managing well-log information for the State of Nevada. The Well-Log Data Base is part of an integrated system of computer data bases using the Ingres Relational Data-Base Management System, which allows efficient storage and access to water information from the State Engineer's office. The data base contains a main table, two ancillary tables, and nine lookup tables, as well as a menu-driven system for entering, updating, and reporting on the data. This reference guide outlines the general functions of the system and provides a brief description of data tables and data-entry screens.

Slope and aspect classifications of Lake Tahoe Basin, California and Nevada
A geographic information system was used to develop maps of slope and aspect data for the Lake Tahoe basin of California and Nevada. The maps were pro- duced at 1:100,000 scale by using digital-elevation data derived from 1:24,000-scale maps. The maps show slope (steepness) and aspect (compass-direction) data for the basin. Classes for slope data were set as follows: 0 percent, >0 to 2 percent, >2 to 5 percent, >5 to 10 percent, >10 to 15 percent, >15 to 20 percent, >20 to 30 percent, >30 to 50 percent, and >50 to 100 percent. Classes for aspect data were limited to the eight points of the compass (north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, and northwest) and level land.

Hydraulic geometry and streamflow of channels in the Piceance Basin, Rio Blanco and Garfield Counties, Colorado
The influence of streamflow and basin characteristics on channel geometry was investigated at 18 perennial and ephemeral stream reaches in the Piceance basin of northwestern Colorado. Results of stepwise multiple regression analyses indicated that the variabilities of mean bankfull depth (D) and bankfull cross-sectional flow area (Af) were predominantly a function of bankfull discharge (QB), and that most of the variability in channel slopes (S) could be explained by drainage area (DA). None of the independent variables selected for the study could account for a large part of the variability in bankfull channel width (W).
