Techniques for Estimating Flood-Depth Frequency Relations on Natural Streams in Georgia 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. The...

Ground-water resources along the Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina 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...

Hydrology of the Creeping Swamp Watershed, North Carolina with reference to potential effects of stream channelization 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...

Digital model analysis of the principal artesian aquifer, Savannah, Georgia area 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...

Ground-water resources and geology of Colquitt County, Georgia 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...

Water resources data for Georgia, water year 1976 Water resources data for Georgia, water year 1976
Water resources data for the 1976 water year for Georgia consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs. This report contains discharge records for 99 gaging stations; stage for 9 gaging stations, stage and contents for 16 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 20 continuous stations and 108 periodic stations. Also...

Preliminary flood-frequency relations for urban streams, Metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia 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...

Water resources data for South Carolina, water year 1975 Water resources data for South Carolina, water year 1975
Water resources data for the 1975 water year for South Carolina consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels in wells. This report contains discharge records for 56 gaging stations; stage only records for 4 gaging stations; stage and contents for 11 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 19 gaging...
