A preliminary appraisal of sediment sources and transport in Kings Bay and vicinity, Georgia and Florida A preliminary appraisal of sediment sources and transport in Kings Bay and vicinity, Georgia and Florida
Water-quality, bottom-material, suspended-sediment, and current-velocity data were collected during November 1981 in Kings Bay and vicinity to provide information on the sources and transport of estuarine sediments. Kings Bay and Cumberland Sound , the site of the Poseidon Submarine Base in southeast Georgia, are experiencing high rates of sediment deposition and accumulation, which are...

Water quality of Lake Whitney, north-central Texas Water quality of Lake Whitney, north-central Texas
The volume-weighted average concentrations of the major dissolved constituents in Lake Whitney on the Brazos River in north-central Texas usually were less than 1,300 milligrams per liter of dissolved solids, 500 milligrams per liter of chloride, and 300 milligrams per liter of sulfate during the 1970-80 water years. The water was very hard (hardness greater than 180 milligrams per liter...

Drainage areas of selected sites on streams in North Carolina Drainage areas of selected sites on streams in North Carolina
For the past several years, drainage-area data have been determined for approximately 12,400 selected sites on streams in North Carolina. Location information, including distance of nearby towns or other landmarks, latitude and longitude coordinates, county in which the site lies, and the name of the latest topographic maps on which the site is located, are also provided.

Gain-loss study along two streams in the upper Sabine River basin, Texas; August-September 1981 Gain-loss study along two streams in the upper Sabine River basin, Texas; August-September 1981
A gain-loss study was made August-September 1981 along the upper Sabine River from Lake Tawakoni to Farm Road 2517 near Carthage and along Lake Fork Creek from Lake Fork Reservoir to its junction (mouth) with the Sabine River. The hydrologic data collected during the gain-loss study indicated that during periods of low flow on the Sabine River, at least as much water as is released from...

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area, 1980 Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area, 1980
Hydrologic investigations of urban watersheds in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. Studies are now in progress in Austin, and Houston. Studies have been completed in the Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio areas. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the city of Houston, began studies in the Houston metropolitan area in 1964. The program was expanded in 1968...

Effects of the drought of 1980-81 on streamflow and on ground-water levels in Georgia Effects of the drought of 1980-81 on streamflow and on ground-water levels in Georgia
The 1980-81 drought resulted in the lowest rates of streamflow since 1954 in most areas of Georgia, and the lowest since 1925 in some areas. Over most of the State, minimum average streamflows for periods of 1, 7, 30, 60, 90, and 183 consecutive days receded to low levels estimated to be reached at average intervals of 10 to 25 years. Flows in the Flint River from central to southwest...

Water quality of Lake Arlington on Village Creek, north-central Texas; 1973 to 1981 Water quality of Lake Arlington on Village Creek, north-central Texas; 1973 to 1981
Water in Lake Arlington on Village Creek in north-central Texas had volume-weighted average concentrations of less than 240 milligrams per liter of dissolved solids, less than 30 milligrams per liter of dissolved chloride, and less than 40 milligrams per liter of dissolved sulfate between January 29, 1973, and August 20, 1981. The water was moderately hard (hardness greater than 60 but...

Streamflow losses along the Balcones Fault Zone, Nueces River basin, Texas Streamflow losses along the Balcones Fault Zone, Nueces River basin, Texas
An investigation was conducted to quantify and to determine distribution of streamflow losses and gains that occur during sustained flow conditions in the Balcones Fault Zone of the Nueces River basin. The streams studied include the West Nueces, Nueces, Dry Frio, Frio, and Sabinal Rivers, and Seco, Hondo, and Verde Creeks. Streamflow measurements made during the recession of storm flows
