Hydrology of the Chicod Creek basin, North Carolina, prior to channel improvements Hydrology of the Chicod Creek basin, North Carolina, prior to channel improvements
Extensive modification and excavation of stream channels in the 6-square mile Chicod Creek basin began in mid-1979 to reduce flooding and improve stream runoff conditions. The effects of channel improvements on this Coastal Pain basin 's hydrology will be determined from data collected prior to, during, and for several years following channel alternations. This report summarizes the...

Water resources data for Georgia, water year 1980 Water resources data for Georgia, water year 1980
Water resources data for the 1980 water year for Georgia consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and ground-water levels. This report contains discharge records for 105 gaging stations; stage for 9 gaging stations; stage and contents for 17 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 22 continuous stations, 129...

A technique for estimating flood heights on small streams in the city of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina A technique for estimating flood heights on small streams in the city of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
A method for estimating the height reached by floods having recurrence intervals of 10, 20, and 100 years is defined for unregulated streams in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County draining areas of less than 1.0 square mile. Flood heights, defined as the vertical distance between the streambed at riffles and the floodwater surface, can be used to estimate flood elevations on small streams...

Ground-water data for Georgia, 1979 Ground-water data for Georgia, 1979
This report continues a publication format that annually presents both water-level and water-quality data. In this format the information is presented in two-page units: the left page presents a text which summarizes the information for an area or subject and the right page consists of one or more illustrations. Daily mean water-level fluctuations and trends are shown in hydrographs for...

Floods in Georgia, magnitude and frequency: Techniques for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Georgia with compilation of flood data through 1974 Floods in Georgia, magnitude and frequency: Techniques for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Georgia with compilation of flood data through 1974
Regional relations are defined for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods having recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years on streams with natural flow in Georgia. Multiple-regression analyses were used to define the relationship between the flood-discharge frequency of annual peak discharges for streams draining 0.1 to 1,000 square miles and 10 climatological and...

Impact of flow regulation and powerplant effluents on the flow and temperature regimes of the Chattahoochee River— Atlanta to Whitesburg, Georgia Impact of flow regulation and powerplant effluents on the flow and temperature regimes of the Chattahoochee River— Atlanta to Whitesburg, Georgia
A calibrated and verified transient flow-temperature model was used to evaluate the effects of flow regulation and powerplant loadings on the natural temperature regime of the Chattahoochee River in northeast Georgia. Estimates were made of both instantaneous and average natural temperatures in the river during an 8-day period in August 1976. Differences between the computed average...

Modeling highly transient flow, mass, and heat transport in the Chattahoochee River near Atlanta, Georgia Modeling highly transient flow, mass, and heat transport in the Chattahoochee River near Atlanta, Georgia
A coupled flow-temperature model has been developed and verified for a 27.9-km reach of the Chattahoochee River between Buford Dam and Norcross, Ga. Flow in this reach of the Chattahoochee is continuous but highly regulated by Buford Dam, a flood-control and hydroelectric facility located near Buford, Ga. Calibration and verification utilized two sets of data collected under highly...

An economic analysis of selected strategies for dissolved oxygen management: Chattahoochee River, Georgia An economic analysis of selected strategies for dissolved oxygen management: Chattahoochee River, Georgia
Using the Chattahoochee River as an example, a method for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of alternative strategies for dissolved oxygen (DO) management is demonstrated. The conceptual framework for the analysis is suggested by the economic theory of production. The minimum flow of the River and the percentage of the total waste inflow receiving nitrification are considered to be two...
