Time-of-travel studies, Susquehanna River, Binghamton, New York, to Clarks Ferry, Pennsylvania Time-of-travel studies, Susquehanna River, Binghamton, New York, to Clarks Ferry, Pennsylvania

Results of time-of-travel studies are presented in both tabular and graphical form for several flow conditions in the Susquehanna River from Binghamton, N.Y., to Clarks Ferry, Pa. This reach is approximately 240 miles (386 kilometres) long, measured along the center of the channel, and has a drainage area of about 19,700 square miles (51,000 square kilometres) at its downstream end. A...

Sediment discharge from an area of highway construction, Applemans Run basin, Columbia County, Pennsylvania Sediment discharge from an area of highway construction, Applemans Run basin, Columbia County, Pennsylvania

The effects of highway construction on stream sediment loads were studied in Applemans Run basin, Columbia County, Pa., from October 1971 to May 1974. During the investigations, about 5,200 tons of suspended-sediment were discharged from the basin. Of this amount, about 2,700 tons, or about half the total sediment discharge, as derived from the highway construction area. Annual suspended...

Limnological survey of Sacony Creek Basin, Berks County, Pennsylvania Limnological survey of Sacony Creek Basin, Berks County, Pennsylvania

Samples of water, fish and benthic macroinvertabrates collected at 10 sampling stations over a 10-month period indicate that Sacony Creek and its major tributaries contain water of good to excellent quality. The waters were found to be free of excessive quantities of dissolved nutrients, oxidizable matter, and fecal coliform bacteria. (p>Fish inhabitants include a sizabel wild trout...

Guide to the availability of hydrologic data, Greater Pittsburgh region, Pennsylvania Guide to the availability of hydrologic data, Greater Pittsburgh region, Pennsylvania

A great variety of hydrologic data are collected by many governmental agencies and other entities for diverse purposes. Some of the data are compiled and reported in readily available, widely known publications; some are not. Continuing requests for information on the locations of data collection sites and on the sources of data have suggested the need for a guide to that information...

Ground-water conditions in the Kingston area, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and their effect on basement flooding Ground-water conditions in the Kingston area, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and their effect on basement flooding

Ground water underlying the Kingston area occurs in one very complex reservoir that consists of two essential parts--a shallow system and a deep system. The shallow system is composed of the unconsolidated deposits in the buried valley. The deep system is composed of bedrock, including anthracite coal, some of which has been removed by mining. Ground-water levels in the shallow system...

Sediment characteristics of five streams near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, before highway construction Sediment characteristics of five streams near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, before highway construction

Rainfall, streamflow, sediment, and turbidity data are being collected as part of a study to evaluate the effects of highway construction on sediment discharge. The study is also designed to determine the effectiveness of different erosion-control measures in reducing sediment discharges. The study area, near Enola, Pa., consists of five adjacent drainage basins, four of which will be...

An introduction to the processes, problems, and management of urban lakes An introduction to the processes, problems, and management of urban lakes

Lakes are bodies of water formed in depressions on the earth's surface, and as such, act as depositories for a variety of chemical and biological materials. The study of lakes has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. Lakes are a valuable resource, and their multiple uses have made them susceptible to water-quality problems such as algal blooms, sediment deposition and fish...

Landsliding in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Landsliding in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania

Man should proceed with caution if modifications such as loading, excavation, or changes of the water regime are contemplated for slopes in Allegheny County, especially those slopes described on the map as highly sensitive to disturbance by man. Features indicative of unstable slope conditions include: cracks in buildings, yard walls, and pools; doors and windows that jam; fences and...
