Preliminary flood-frequency relations for urban streams, Metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia
A method is presented for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods for urban streams in metropolitan Atlanta. The method is based on adjustments to the natural stream flood-frequency and rainfall-frequency characteristics of the local area as defined by urban flood studies in other areas.The effects of urbanization on flood-peak runoff are estimated from the percentage of drainage basin th

Digital model analysis of the principal artesian aquifer, Savannah, Georgia area
A digital model of the principal artesian aquifer has been developed for the Savannah, Georgia, area. The model simulates the response of the aquifer system to various hydrologic stresses. Model results of the water levels and water-level changes are shown on maps. Computations may be extended in time, indicating changes in pumpage were applied to the system and probable results calculated. Drawdo

Techniques for Estimating Flood-Depth Frequency Relations on Natural Streams in Georgia
Regional relations are defined for estimating the depth of floods having recurrence intervals of 10, 50, and 100 years on streams with natural flow in Georgia.
Multiple-regression analysis of station data is used to define the relations between flood depths and frequency for streams draining from 1 to 1,000 square miles, and for 10 climatological and physical basin characteristics.

Hydrology of the Creeping Swamp Watershed, North Carolina with reference to potential effects of stream channelization
Hydrologic data were collected for four years at six sites in the Creeping Swamp watershed in eastern North Carolina in a preliminary effort to study the effects of stream channelization on the hydrology of a small watershed. A water-budget evaluation for pre-channelized conditions showed that runoff accounts for about 17 percent of the total rainfall, base runoff about 20 percent, ground-water ou

Ground-water resources along the Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina
The best areas to develop ground water along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina are in broad draws and in stream valleys where draws open to the valleys. Saprolite thickness in these places can exceed 50 feet and provide adequate ground-water storage; draws are topographic expressions of fracture zones in the underlying bedrock, which transmit water from the overlying saprolite to the wells.

Ground-water resources and geology of Colquitt County, Georgia
Limestone beds of Eocene, Oligocene, and lower Miocene age, called the principal artesian aquifer, are the chief source of ground water for Colquitt County. Because streams are small, undependable and relatively inaccessible to most users, ground water is the most important source for increased industrial and agricultural water use. Southeast of Moultrie the principal artesian aquifer is very prod

Sediment characteristics of streams in the eastern Piedmont and western Coastal Plain regions of North Carolina
The sediment-transport characteristics of streams were determined in a 15,500-square-kilometre (6,000-square-mile) area of the Coastal Plain and Piedmont regions of eastern North Carolina during 1969-73. The study covered all or parts of 21 counties and included data for 28 sediment-sampling stations in parts of 4 major river basins?the Roanoke, Pamlico, Neuse, and Cape Fear. Annual suspended-sedi
