Bathymetry of Lakes Marion and Moultrie, South Carolina, 1984-85 Bathymetry of Lakes Marion and Moultrie, South Carolina, 1984-85

Lakes Marion and Moultrie are two large, interconnected reservoirs in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina. Bathymetric surveys during 1984-85 determined that, for the full-pool water surface elevation of 76.8 ft, the volume of Lake Marion is 1,425 ,000 acre-ft, and for the full-pool water surface elevation of 75.0 ft, the volume of Lake Moultrie is 1,060,000 acre-ft. These volumes are...

Sediment inflow, outflow and deposition for Lakes Marion and Moultrie, South Carolina, October 1983 - March 1985 Sediment inflow, outflow and deposition for Lakes Marion and Moultrie, South Carolina, October 1983 - March 1985

In 1941 a Coastal Plain reach of the Santee River was impounded to form Lake Marion and diverted into a diked-off part of the Cooper River basin to form Lake Moultrie. Rates of sediment inflow and outflow of the lakes were determined by the U.S. Geological Survey for the periods July 1966 - June 1968 and October 1983 - March 1985. Total sediment discharge was estimated for two inflow...

U.S. Geological Survey ground-water studies in Iowa U.S. Geological Survey ground-water studies in Iowa

Ground water is the primary source for most water uses in Iowa. Ground-water resources supply 81 percent of the water withdrawn in Iowa for non-power-generating uses. Ground water from five principal aquifer systems is the source of drinking water for approximately 82 percent of the State's population. These aquifers range from land surface to several thousand feet below land surface...

Aircraft MSS data registration and vegetation classification of wetland change detection Aircraft MSS data registration and vegetation classification of wetland change detection

Portions of the Savannah River floodplain swamp were evaluated for vegetation change using high resolution (5a??6 m) aircraft multispectral scanner (MSS) data. Image distortion from aircraft movement prevented precise image-to-image registration in some areas. However, when small scenes were used (200-250 ha), a first-order linear transformation provided registration accuracies of less...

Surface-water and water-quality data from selected streams and treated waters in the Greensboro Area, North Carolina, 1986-87 Surface-water and water-quality data from selected streams and treated waters in the Greensboro Area, North Carolina, 1986-87

Water and bottom-sediment samples were collected from April 1986 to September 1987 at 19 sites in Guilford County and the City of Greensboro, North Carolina. Sampling locations included 13 stream sites, two lakes that supply City of Greensboro drinking water, two City of Greensboro finished drinking-water filtration plants, and two municipal wastewater plants where effluents were sampled...
