Sediment data for Georgia streams, water years 1958-82 Sediment data for Georgia streams, water years 1958-82
Sediment data have been collected regularly in Georgia by the U.S. Geological Survey since 1957. The data were collected in cooperation with a number of State and Federal agencies. The frequency of data collection varied and several sampling methodologies were used. This report presents suspended-sediment-concentration data for 179 sites, suspended-sediment particle-size for 16 sites...

The hydrologic bench-mark program; a standard to evaluate time-series trends in selected water-quality constituents for streams in Georgia The hydrologic bench-mark program; a standard to evaluate time-series trends in selected water-quality constituents for streams in Georgia
Significant temporal trends in monthly pH, specific conductance, total alkalinity, hardness, total nitrite-plus-nitrite nitrogen, and total phosphorus measurements at five stream sites in Georgia were identified using a rank correlation technique, the seasonal Kendall test and slope estimator. These sites include a U.S. Geological Survey Hydrologic Bench-Mark site, Falling Creek near...

Hydrology of major estuaries and sounds of North Carolina Hydrology of major estuaries and sounds of North Carolina
Hydrology-related problems associated with North Carolina 's major estuaries and sounds include contamination of some estuaries with municipal and industrial wastes and drainage from adjacent, intensively farmed areas, and nuisance-level algal blooms. In addition, there is excessive shoaling in some navigation channels, salt-water intrusion into usually fresh estuarine reaches, too high...

The Georgia Water-Use Program The Georgia Water-Use Program
WHY COLLECT WATER-USE INFORMATION? Water used in Georgia increased from 5,560 to 6,765 million gallons per day (22 percent) between 1970 and 1980. In 1970 the population of Georgia was about 4,600,000. By 1980 it had rcached an estimated 5,500,000, a 20-percent increase. The amount of irrigated land in the State incrcased from 79,600 acres to nearly one million acres during the decade...

Reconnaissance of water-quality characteristics of streams in the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina Reconnaissance of water-quality characteristics of streams in the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
In 1979-81, water samples were collected from 119 sites on streams throughout the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and were analyzed for specific conductance, dissolved chloride, hardness, pH, total alkalinity, total phosphorus, trace elements, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, silver, and zinc and biological measures including...

Floodflow characteristics of Filbin Creek at proposed interstate highway 526, North Charleston, South Carolina Floodflow characteristics of Filbin Creek at proposed interstate highway 526, North Charleston, South Carolina
A study to determine the impact of two alternative construction plans for proposed interchange between the existing Interstate Highway 26 and Interstate Highway 526 in the Filbin Creek drainage basin near North Charleston, South Carolina was performed by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the South Carolina Department of Highways and Public Transportation. A computerized...

Impact of the proposed I-326 crossing on the 500-year flood stages of the Congaree River near Columbia, South Carolina Impact of the proposed I-326 crossing on the 500-year flood stages of the Congaree River near Columbia, South Carolina
A two-dimensional finite-element surface water flow modeling system based on the shallow water equations was used to study the hydraulic impact of the proposed Interstate crossing on the 500-year flood. Infrared aerial photography was used to define regions of homogeneous roughness in the flood plain. Finite-element networks approximating flood plain topography were designed using...

Ground-water data for Georgia, 1983 Ground-water data for Georgia, 1983
Continuous water-level records from 134 wells and more than 700 water-level measurements made in Georgia during 1983 provide the basic data for this report. Selected wells illustrate the effects that changes in recharge and pumping have had on the various ground-water resources in the State. Daily mean water levels are shown in hydrographs for 1983. Monthly means are shown for the 10...

Water-Level Measurements for the Coastal Plain Aquifers of South Carolina Prior to Development Water-Level Measurements for the Coastal Plain Aquifers of South Carolina Prior to Development
Tabulations of water-level measurements for the Coastal Plain aquifers of South Carolina representing water levels prior to man-made development are presented. Included with the tabulations are local well number, location, land-surface altitude, well depth, screened interval, depth to water, water- level altitude, and date measured. These water-level measurements were used in compiling
