Annual yield and selected hydrologic data for the Arkansas River Basin compact, Arkansas-Oklahoma, 1987 water year
The computed annual yield and deficiency of the subbasins are defined in the Arkansas River Compact, Arkansas-Oklahoma, are given in tables. Actual runoff from the subbasins and depletion caused by major reservoirs in the compact area are also given in tabular form. Monthly, maximum, and mean discharges are shown for the 14 streamflow stations used in computing annual yield. Water quality data are shown for two sites in the compact area. (USGS)

Floods in central, Southwest Oklahoma, October 17-23, 1983
Storms of October 17-23, 1983, produced as much as 17 inches of rain as a result of Hurricane Tico. Rainfall amounts exceeded the 100-year, 24-hour storm frequency in some areas of the central and southwest parts of Oklahoma. An 11-county area experienced flooding with damages exceeding $12 million. Peak discharges were determined during and after the flood at U.S. Geological Survey gaging stations and one miscellaneous location. Streamflow in some areas exceeded the estimated 100-year flood. Flood hydrographs and rainfall mass curves are presented for gaging stations located in areas of greater precipitation.

Floods in Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas, September 12-13, 1977
The storms of Sept. 12-13, 1977, delivered as much as 16 in. of rain, with average rainfall exceeding 10 in. in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Twenty-five lives were lost, many were left homeless, and damages exceeded $80 million. Data obtained by the National Weather Service and the U.S. Geological Survey indicate that two record-setting rainstorms occurred within 24 hours. The first storm, in the early morning, thoroughly soaked the local drainage basins. The second storm, centered along the Brush and Round Grove Creek basins, resulted in a devastating flash flood. Peak discharges were determined during and after this major flood at gaging stations and selected miscellaneous locations. Streamflows and flood volumes in many locations far exceeded estimated values for the 100-year flood. (USGS)

Floods in Gravois Creek Basin, St. Louis County, Missouri
The rapid growth of suburban St. Louis presents problems in the social and economic development of flood plains within the area. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District, is conducting a study of the hydrology of five major drainage basins within the area of responsibility of the Sewer District. This interim report presents stage and inundation data along Gravois Creek and its tributaries for the historic flood of June 1957, and the flood of January 1969. These data can be useful in studies leading to the proper utilization of the basin to minimize future flood problems. Other useful hydrologic data such as flood discharges and frequencies are being gathered, but were not available for this report. Spencer and Hauth (1969) described the flood situation in Maline Creek basin, St. Louis County, Mo. Areas covered by both reports are shown in figure 1.
