    Notes: Due to characteristics of centrifugal pumps, most pumping tests in large-diameter wells exhibit a decreasing abstraction rate with increasing drawdown. Type curves are obtained for the case of abstraction rates which are functions of the well drawdown; values for the type curves are obtained from a numerical model. For the case of constant abstraction, these curves provide an alternative to the classical approach. By plotting the ratio of drawdowns at different times, it is possible to identify more easily when the aquifer begins to contribute to the well discharge. The practical application of the technique is illustrated by a field example.

    Notes: : A computerized geographic information system (GIS) was created in support of data requirements by a hydrologic model designed to predict the runoff hydrograph from ungaged basins. Some geomorphologic characteristics (i.e., channel lengths) were manually measured from topographic maps, while other parameters such as drainage area and number of channels of a specified order, land use, and soil type were digitized and manipulated through use of the GIS. The model required the generation of an integrated Soil Conservation Service (SCS) curve number for the entire basin. To this end, soil associations and land use (generated from analysis of Landsat satellite data) were merged in the GIS to acquire a map representing SCS runoff curve numbers. The volume of runoff obtained from the Watershed Hydrology Simulation (WAHS) Model using this map was compared to the volume computed by hydrograph separation and found to be accurate within 19 percent error. To quantify the effect of changing land use on basin hydrology, the GIS was used to vary percentages from the drainage area from forest to bare soil. By changing the basin runoff curve numbers, significant changes in peak discharge were noted; however, the time to peak discharge remained essentially independent of change in area of land use. The GIS capability eliminated many of the more traditional manual phases of data input arid manipulation, thereby allowing researchers to concentrate on the development and calibration of the model and the interpretation of presumably more accurate results.

    Notes: : The SMEMAX transformation, its modified versions and power transformation were applied to 55 long-term records of annual maximum flood flows tested previously for independence, homogeneity and completeness. Even though SMEMAX transformation reduced the coefficient of skewness to near zero for flood data, their distribution was not a true normal distribution. In almost all cases, the coefficient of kurtosis was quite different from 3.0 of the normal distribution. Empirical criteria showed that SMEMAX transformation performed well only for 40 (70 percent) of the 55 stations tested. Its performance level dropped, especially for stations which had both the coefficient of skewness and kurtosis greater than 3.0 and 10.0, respectively. Power transformation was generally better in transforming the flood data to a normal distribution. It performed well for 50 (90 percent) of the 55 stations tested. The coefficient of skewness in case of the data transformed by power transformation was much closer to the zero value than in the case of SMEMAX transformed series. The SMEMAX transformation and its two modified versions yielded identical results when flood frequency analysis was performed. Computationally, all three methods were equally simple and easy to apply for flood frequency analysis. In some cases, the coefficient of kurtosis for the transformed distributions obtained both by SMEMAX and power transformations deviated farther from that for the normal distribution than for the parent distribution.

    Notes: : First order drainage channels originate when the tractive force exerted by flowing water is sufficient to move surface sediment. The amount of runoff available to move sediment is a function of geologic and climatic characteristics. An experimental analysis showed that soils derived from fine grained rocks had lower infiltration rates and higher runoff volume than soils derived from coarser grained rocks in a semi-arid climate. Root density and penetration increased in a more humid climate and increased infiltration rates. The number of first order channels was inversely proportional to the infiltration capacity of the soil.Each first order channel acts as a source area for surface runoff. The distribution of first order channel distances from the gage determines the timing of the delivery of water to the gage. A comparison of the frequency histogram of first order channel distances for drainage basins in Pennsylvania and their hydxographs of runoff from general storms showed marked similarity. This close correspondence indicated the shape of the surface runoff hydrograph and was largely controlled by the distribution of first order channel distances.

    Notes: Abstract. The discharge in pumping tests conducted on large-diameter wells declines with the fall of water level. This violates the basic requirement of pumping tests that the discharge should remain constant. A simple device to keep the discharge constant has therefore been developed. This device is also useful in keeping the discharge much lower than the rated capacity of the farmer's pump, and thus in increasing the total test period.The discharge from the farmer's pump is released in a barrel having a V-notch at the top and an arrangement for returning a part of the discharge to the well. The return flow is gradually reduced through a control valve, and thus the net outflow is kept constant.This device has been used for conducting pumping tests on several dug wells.

    Notes: Abstract. A method of analyzing the pumping and recovery phases of large diameter wells based on a Kernel function method is presented. Consideration is given to the effect of the seepage face, which is the difference between the well-water level and the aquifer level on the well face. A computer program for the Kernel function method written in BASIC, is provided. In the analysis of a representative field test, the importance of including the seepage face is demonstrated; if the seepage face is ignored, both the transmissivity and storage coefficient are underestimated.

    Notes: Twenty-seven improved aromatic lines of germplasm and 18 non-aromatic disease-resistant genotypes of rice were test-crossed with four cytoplasmic male-sterile lines (IR 58025A, IR 62829A, PMS 3A and PMS 10A). Thirteen aromatic and 10 non-aromatic genotypes were selected based on pollen fertility, and crosses were repeated to confirm sterility-maintaining and fertility-restoring ability. Genotypes were categorized as effective restorers (〉 80% spikelet fertility), partial restorers (21-79% spikelet fertility) and maintainers (〈 1% spikelet fertility). The effective basmati restorers identified were Basmati 385, Chandan, P1031-8-5-1, HKR 241-IET-12020, SAF Khalsa 7 and Karnal Local. The basmati maintainers identified were Basmati 370, Pusa basmati 1, P615-K-167-13 and P1173-4-1. The frequency of restorers obtained was higher for the non-aromatic than the aromatic basmati type. The performance of restorers varied with cytoplasmic male-sterile (CMS) line, location and season of testing. The differential ability to restore fertility in the CMS lines that have the wild abortive (WA) cytosterile system could result from different nuclear backgrounds of the CMS lines. These restorers and maintainers possess acceptable grain dimensions, a desirable degree of aroma, volume expansion through linear kernel elongation and cooking quality characteristics of basmati rice. These genotypes will contribute to developing basmati hybrids and provide restorers and maintainers with acceptable key basmati quality characteristics.
