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...

Technical manual for estimating low-flow frequency characteristics of streams in the Susquehanna River basin Technical manual for estimating low-flow frequency characteristics of streams in the Susquehanna River basin

This report presents procedures for estimating low-flow frequency characteristics for streams in the Susquehanna River basin. The techniques can be used at ungaged sites as well as sites where insufficient data are available to make a reliable estimate. Streams have been divided intp two types--major and minor. Major streams are the Susquehanna, West Branch Susquehanna, Juniata, and...

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...

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...

Limnological data for the major streams in Chester County, Pennsylvania Limnological data for the major streams in Chester County, Pennsylvania

Limnological data on major streams in Chester County, Pennsylvania are tabulated to provide a base line as to the present stream conditions. As land-use patterns change and further urbanization takes place, it is anticipated that these data will serve as a basis for comparison of conditions in the future. The 13 basins encompass a total drainage area of 1,812 km2 (697 mi2) of the 1,976...

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...

Hydrology and sedimentation of Bixler Run Basin, central Pennsylvania Hydrology and sedimentation of Bixler Run Basin, central Pennsylvania

Rainfall, streamflow, stream chemical, and sediment discharge data were collected from Bixler Run near Loysville, Pa., during the period from February 1954 to September 1969 as part of a project to evaluate sediment discharge from an agricultural area in which soil-conservation techniques were being adopted at a moderate rate. The study was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in...
