Water-resources data for the Valdosta area, south-central Georgia, 1961-93 Water-resources data for the Valdosta area, south-central Georgia, 1961-93
The Upper Floridan aquifer is the sole source of water supply for the city of Valdosta, Ga., and much of the surrounding area. Users and water-resources managers and developers are concerned about the quality of water in the aquifer. The water quality of a large part of the Upper Floridan aquifer in the Valdosta area is affected by direct recharge of water from the Withlacoochee River to...

A toxic equivalency factor scale for polychlorinated dibenzofurans A toxic equivalency factor scale for polychlorinated dibenzofurans
The ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) induction of 20 polychiorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) was examined in the H4IIE rat hepatoma cell bioassay. The selection of the compounds tested was based on a multivariate chemical characterization laying the groundwork for covering the whole chemical series of PCDFs. The EROD induction potency was found to vary in ED50 values from 25 to 100,000...

Intraspecific variation in the response of Taxodium distichum seedlings to salinity Intraspecific variation in the response of Taxodium distichum seedlings to salinity
Seedlings of 15 open-pollinated families of baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) were tested for their tolerance to combined salinty and flooding stress. Ten of the families were from coastal locations in Louisiana or Alabama, USA, that were slightly brackish. The other families were from locations not affected by saltwater intrusion. Five salinity levels were investigated--0,2,4,6, and 8 g...

Simulation of unsteady flow in the Roanoke River from near Oak City to Williamston, North Carolina Simulation of unsteady flow in the Roanoke River from near Oak City to Williamston, North Carolina
A one-dimensional, unsteady-flow model was calibrated, validated, and applied to a 30.4-mile reach of the Roanoke River between State Highway 42-11 bridge near Oak City (river mile 67.0) and the U.S. Highway 17-13 bridge at Williamston (river mile 36.6) North Carolina. The model was calibrated and validated for flows ranging from about 2,000 to 12,000 cubic feet per second. The model was...

Saltwater movement in the upper Floridan aquifer beneath Port Royal Sound, South Carolina Saltwater movement in the upper Floridan aquifer beneath Port Royal Sound, South Carolina
Freshwater for Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, is supplied by withdrawals from the Upper Floridan aquifer. Freshwater for the nearby city of Savannah, Georgia, and for the industry that has grown adjacent to the city, has also been supplied, in part, by withdrawal from the Upper Floridan aquifer since 1885. The withdrawal of ground water has caused water levels in the Upper Floridan...
