Statistical analysis relating well yield to construction practices and siting of wells in the Piedmont and Blue Ridge provinces of North Carolina Statistical analysis relating well yield to construction practices and siting of wells in the Piedmont and Blue Ridge provinces of North Carolina
A statistical analysis was made of data from more than 6,200 water wells drilled in the fractured crystalline rocks of the Blue Ridge, Piedmont, and western edge of the Coastal Plain where crystalline rocks underlie sediments at shallow depths. The study area encompassed 65 countries in western North Carolina, an area of 30,544 square mi, comprising nearly two-thirds of the State...

Simulation of flood hydrographs for Georgia streams Simulation of flood hydrographs for Georgia streams
Flood hydrographs are needed for the design of many highway drainage structures and embankments. A method for simulating these flood hydrographs at ungaged sites in Georgia is presented in this report. The O'Donnell method was used to compute unit hydrographs and lagtimes for 355 floods at 80 gaging stations. An average unit hydrograph and an average lagtime were computed for each...

History of ground-water pumpage and water-level decline in the Black Creek and upper Cape Fear aquifers of the central coastal plain of North Carolina History of ground-water pumpage and water-level decline in the Black Creek and upper Cape Fear aquifers of the central coastal plain of North Carolina
Historical ground-water withdrawals and a general water-level decline in the Black Creek and upper Cape Fear aquifers of the central Coastal Plain of North Carolina are documented. Total municipal and industrial pumpage from these aquifers has increased from approximately 120,000 gal/day (gpd) in 1910 to >21 million gpd in 1980. Major pumpage, > 10,000 gpd, began around 1900. Since that...

Retention time and flow patterns in Lake Moultrie, South Carolina Retention time and flow patterns in Lake Moultrie, South Carolina
A liquid dye tracer was injected into the inflow to Lake Moultrie, South Carolina, during high-flow conditions and again during low-flow conditions. Tracer concentrations were monitored at a network of fixed sampling stations in the lake to determine dispersion and transport characteristics in and through the lake. Wind-generated currents were the major factor in dispersing the tracer...

Hydraulic characteristics of Upper Cretaceous and Lower Tertiary clastic aquifers: Eastern Alabama, Georgia, and western South Carolina Hydraulic characteristics of Upper Cretaceous and Lower Tertiary clastic aquifers: Eastern Alabama, Georgia, and western South Carolina
Transmissivity and storativity data for the clastic sediments of the northern Coastal Plain of eastern Alabama, Georgia, and western South Carolina were compiled and evaluated. Transmissivity values ranged from less than 100 to about 35,000 ft sq/day; storativity ranged from about 0.00002 to 0.0002. Data for lower Tertiary sediments represented by the Clayton and Tallahatta Formations...

Methods and computer program documentation for determining anisotropic transmissivity tensor components of two-dimensional ground-water flow Methods and computer program documentation for determining anisotropic transmissivity tensor components of two-dimensional ground-water flow
The theory of anisotropic aquifer hydraulic properties and a computer program, written in Fortran 77, developed to compute the components of the anisotropic transmissivity tensor of two-dimensional groundwater flow are described. To determine the tensor components using one pumping well and three observation wells, the type-curve and straight-line approximation methods are developed...

Base-flow measurements at partial-record sites on small streams in South Carolina Base-flow measurements at partial-record sites on small streams in South Carolina
This report contains site descriptions and base-flow data collected at 362 partial-record sites in South Carolina. These data include site name, site description, latitude, longitude, drainage area, instantaneous streamflow, and date of the streamflow measurement. The base-flow data can be used as an aid to estimate low flow characteristics at ungaged locations on streams in South...
