Hydrologic data for urban studies in the San Antonio, Texas, metropolitan area, 1981 Hydrologic data for urban studies in the San Antonio, Texas, metropolitan area, 1981

Hydrologic investigations of urban drainage basins in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. These studies are now in progress in Austin and Houston. Studies were completed in the Fort Worth metropolitan area at the end of the 1977 water year, and in the Dallas metropolitan area at the end of the 1979 water year. The study in the San Antonio area was completed at the end...

Hydrology of area 38, Western Region, Interior Coal Province, Iowa and Missouri Hydrology of area 38, Western Region, Interior Coal Province, Iowa and Missouri

A nationwide need for information characterizing hydrologic conditions in mined and potential mine areas has become paramount with the enactment of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977. This report is designed to be useful to the mine owners, operators, and others by presenting information about the existing hydrologic conditions and by identifying sources of hydrologic

Base flow of streams in the outcrop area of southeastern sand aquifer: South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi Base flow of streams in the outcrop area of southeastern sand aquifer: South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi

The base flow component of streamflow was separated from hydrographs for unregulated streams in the Cretaceous and Tertiary clastic outcrop area of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. The base flow values are used in estimating recharge to the sand aquifer. Relations developed between mean annual base flow and stream discharge at the 60- and 65-percent streamflow duration...

Storage requirements for Georgia streams Storage requirements for Georgia streams

The suitability of a stream as a source of water supply or for waste disposal may be severely limited by low flow during certain periods. A water user may be forced to provide storage facilities to supplement the natural flow if the low flow is insufficient for his needs. This report provides data for evaluating the feasibility of augmenting low streamflow by means of storage facilities...

Ground-water data for Georgia, 1982 Ground-water data for Georgia, 1982

Continuous water level records from 105 wells, and more than 2 ,000 water level measurements made in Georgia during 1982 provided the basic data for this report. Selected wells illustrate the effects that changes in recharge and pumpage have had on the various groundwater resources in the State. Daily mean water levels are shown in hydrographs for 1982. Monthly means are shown for the 10...

Hydrogeologic data from the US Geological Survey test wells near Waycross, Ware County, Georgia Hydrogeologic data from the US Geological Survey test wells near Waycross, Ware County, Georgia

Two wells were constructed near Waycross, Ware County, Georgia, from July 1980 to May 1981 to collect stratigraphic, structural, geophysical, hydrologic, hydraulic, and geochemical information for the U.S. Geological Survey Tertiary Limestone Regional Aquifer-System Analysis. Data collection included geologic sampling and coring, borehole geophysical logging, packer testing, water-level...

Impact of discharges from point and nonpoint sources on water quality of the upper Reedy River near Greenville, South Carolina Impact of discharges from point and nonpoint sources on water quality of the upper Reedy River near Greenville, South Carolina

Impacts of discharge from nonpoint sources in the urban area of Greenville, South Carolina and from the point source, the Mauldin Road Wastewater Treatment Plant, on water quality of the Reedy River were studied from October 1979 through September 1980. Streamflow and water-quality data were collected before and during two storms. The pH and concentrations of organic nitrogen, ammonium...
