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...

Evaluation of the geologic and hydrologic factors related to the waste-storage potential of Mesozoic aquifers in the southern part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, South Carolina and Georgia Evaluation of the geologic and hydrologic factors related to the waste-storage potential of Mesozoic aquifers in the southern part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, South Carolina and Georgia
The report describes the subsurface distribution of rocks of Cretaceous to Late Jurassic( ) age in the Atlantic Coastal Plain , South Carolina, and Georgia, and examines their potential for deep-well waste storage into th part of the regional sediment mass which lies below the deepest zones containing usable ground waters. For the study, usable ground water is considered to be that which...

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...

A technique for estimating heights reached by the 100-year flood on unregulated, nontidal streams in North Carolina A technique for estimating heights reached by the 100-year flood on unregulated, nontidal streams in North Carolina
A method for estimating the heights reached by floods having a recurrence interval of 100 years is defined for nontidal streams with unregulated flows in North Carolina. The flood heights are the vertical distance between stream stage at median discharge (50 percent duration) and the 100-year flood stage and are defined for streams draining areas between 1 and 10,000 square miles for...

Water resources data for Georgia, water year 1978 Water resources data for Georgia, water year 1978
Water resources data for the 1978 water year for Georgia consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams, and stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs. This report contains discharge records for 101 gaging stations; stage for 10 gaging stations; stage and contents for 16 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 18 continuous stations and 114 periodic stations; and...

Ground-water levels and quality data for Georgia, 1978 Ground-water levels and quality data for Georgia, 1978
Mean water levels in wells across Georgia were from 0.25 foot higher to 11.4 feet lower in 1978 than in 1977, and in some areas were the lowest on record. Water levels in the principal artesian aquifer underwent a long-term decline during the period 1969-78. In some areas water levels dropped more than 10 feet. Wells tapping the Clayton Limestone in the Albany area showed a long-term...
