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...

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...

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...
