Geophysical and geologic studies in southern Mecklenburg County and vicinity, North Carolina and South Carolina Geophysical and geologic studies in southern Mecklenburg County and vicinity, North Carolina and South Carolina
Geophysical methods consisting of gravity, aeromagnetics and aeroradioactivity have been applied to part of the Charlotte and Carolina slate belts in southern Mecklenburg County and vicinity to help interpret geology, lithology and structure. High aeroradioactivity is associated with potassium-rich granitic plutons, muscovite-rich gneisses, schists, and metavolcanic rocks; positive...

Drainage areas of selected sites on streams in North Carolina Drainage areas of selected sites on streams in North Carolina
For the past several years, drainage-area data have been determined for approximately 12,400 selected sites on streams in North Carolina. Location information, including distance of nearby towns or other landmarks, latitude and longitude coordinates, county in which the site lies, and the name of the latest topographic maps on which the site is located, are also provided.

A preliminary appraisal of sediment sources and transport in Kings Bay and vicinity, Georgia and Florida A preliminary appraisal of sediment sources and transport in Kings Bay and vicinity, Georgia and Florida
Water-quality, bottom-material, suspended-sediment, and current-velocity data were collected during November 1981 in Kings Bay and vicinity to provide information on the sources and transport of estuarine sediments. Kings Bay and Cumberland Sound , the site of the Poseidon Submarine Base in southeast Georgia, are experiencing high rates of sediment deposition and accumulation, which are...

Effects of the drought of 1980-81 on streamflow and on ground-water levels in Georgia Effects of the drought of 1980-81 on streamflow and on ground-water levels in Georgia
The 1980-81 drought resulted in the lowest rates of streamflow since 1954 in most areas of Georgia, and the lowest since 1925 in some areas. Over most of the State, minimum average streamflows for periods of 1, 7, 30, 60, 90, and 183 consecutive days receded to low levels estimated to be reached at average intervals of 10 to 25 years. Flows in the Flint River from central to southwest...

Base flow of streams in the outcrop area of southeastern sand aquifer: South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi Base flow of streams in the outcrop area of southeastern sand aquifer: South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi
The base flow component of streamflow was separated from hydrographs for unregulated streams in the Cretaceous and Tertiary clastic outcrop area of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. The base flow values are used in estimating recharge to the sand aquifer. Relations developed between mean annual base flow and stream discharge at the 60- and 65-percent streamflow duration...

Storage requirements for Georgia streams Storage requirements for Georgia streams
The suitability of a stream as a source of water supply or for waste disposal may be severely limited by low flow during certain periods. A water user may be forced to provide storage facilities to supplement the natural flow if the low flow is insufficient for his needs. This report provides data for evaluating the feasibility of augmenting low streamflow by means of storage facilities...

Ground-water data for Georgia, 1982 Ground-water data for Georgia, 1982
Continuous water level records from 105 wells, and more than 2 ,000 water level measurements made in Georgia during 1982 provided the basic data for this report. Selected wells illustrate the effects that changes in recharge and pumpage have had on the various groundwater resources in the State. Daily mean water levels are shown in hydrographs for 1982. Monthly means are shown for the 10...
