“…Although these topics are functionally related, applicable law covering each topic has often developed independently. Thus, water law does not consist of an integrated body of legal principles for managing the resource and problems of coordination between different bodies of law remains a difficulty (Cox & Miller 1982).…”

Many stream basins in maritime Alaska have significant glacier-covered areas. A methodology is required for determining design floods for facilities in flood plains by glaciated streams. Published techniques for estimating the magnitude of design floods for ungaged streams in maritime Alaska were not applicable if glaciers were present. Available meteorologic and hydrologic data were reviewed to select rain-flood events for analysis. The largest floods occurred in glaciated basins in late summer or fall after glacial snowpacks became melted at lower elevations and saturated at higher elevations. Stream basins studied were located in south coastal Alaska near Seward and Southeast Alaska near Juneau. Meteorologic data, when not available in the basins, were estimated by correlation of surface weather observations to upper air data. Unit hydrograph and hydraulic modeling parameters were selected which were appropriate for forest, rock slopes, snowpacks, firn, glacier ice, englacial tunnels, and stream channels. Attenuation of rain-floods was related to glacier hydrologic controls. Snythetic unit hydrograph and routing parameters were suggested for determining design floods from glaciated basins. Adjustment factors to adapt regional non-glacial peak flow regression models to glaciated terrain were derived.1-10 usually be determined from late ablation season aerial photographs while the equilibrium line must be determined from comprehensive field studies.Firn lines for the study glaciers were given by Marcus (1963), Heusser and Marcus (1964), and Field (1975. Equilibrium lines for glaciers in Alaska were g1ven by Tangborn et al (1977) and these lines are shown in Figures la and lb.Delay times, attenuation, and recession rates for glaciers were found 10

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTATION COSATI CODES 18. SUBJECT TERMS (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number) FIELD GROUP SUB-GROUP ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number)Report examines the recent use of water transfers in California. Emphasis is on the use of water transfers during the current drought and how planners and operators of federal, state, and local systems can integrate water transfers into the planning and operations of their systems. Through the California experience, the study identifies motivations for incorporating water transfers into water supply systems, reviews a variety of water transfer types, and discusses the integration of water transfers with traditional supply argumentation and water conservation measures.Limitations, constraints, and difficulties for employing water transfers within existing systems are also discussed. The study focuses primarily on the technical, planning, and operational aspects of water transfers, rather than the legal, economic, and social implications.
