Urban flood frequency and hydrograph analysis Urban flood frequency and hydrograph analysis
A set of seven-parameter regression equations was developed for estimating flood discharges at ungaged areas. The regression equations can be used to estimate urban flood discharges throughout the United States for recurrence intervals from 2 through 500 years. The average standard errors of regression range from 37 percent for the 5-year flood to 49 percent for the 500-year flood. Flood

Urban watershed data for the United States Urban watershed data for the United States
The contents of an urban watershed data base compiled for a national urban flood-frequency study by the U.S. Geological Survey are described. The data base includes information for 269 urbanized watersheds in 56 metropolitan areas in 31 states in the continental United States and Hawaii.

Water transport in limestone by X-ray CAT scanning Water transport in limestone by X-ray CAT scanning
The transport of water through the interior of Salem limestone test briquettes can be dynamically monitored by computer aided tomography (commonly called CAT scanning in medical diagnostics). Most significantly, unless evaporation from a particular face of the briquette is accelerated by forced air flow (wind simulation), the distribution of water in the interior of the briquette remains...

West Virginia Geological Survey's role in siting fluidized bed combustion facilities West Virginia Geological Survey's role in siting fluidized bed combustion facilities
A project is presented which demonstrates the role of geology in planning and siting a fluidized bed combustion facility. Whenever a project includes natural resource utilization, cooperation between geologists and design engineers will provide an input that could and should save costs, similar to the one stated in our initial premise. Regardless of whether cost reductions stem from a...
