Application of a rainfall-runoff model in estimating flood peaks for selected small natural drainage basins in Texas Application of a rainfall-runoff model in estimating flood peaks for selected small natural drainage basins in Texas

A parametric rainfall-runoff simulation model was used to synthesize long-term records of annual peak discharges for small natural drainage basins in Texas. Optimum model-parameter values were determined for each of the 40 basins studied by using short-term rainfall, evaporation, and discharge data. The calibrated model was used in conjunction with long-term records of rainfall and...

Hydrologic data for Cow Bayou, Brazos River Basin, Texas, 1975 Hydrologic data for Cow Bayou, Brazos River Basin, Texas, 1975

The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the implementation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of. "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found a total of approximately 3,500 floodwater~retarding structures to be...

Hydrology of the Creeping Swamp Watershed, North Carolina with reference to potential effects of stream channelization Hydrology of the Creeping Swamp Watershed, North Carolina with reference to potential effects of stream channelization

Hydrologic data were collected for four years at six sites in the Creeping Swamp watershed in eastern North Carolina in a preliminary effort to study the effects of stream channelization on the hydrology of a small watershed. A water-budget evaluation for pre-channelized conditions showed that runoff accounts for about 17 percent of the total rainfall, base runoff about 20 percent...

Digital model analysis of the principal artesian aquifer, Savannah, Georgia area Digital model analysis of the principal artesian aquifer, Savannah, Georgia area

A digital model of the principal artesian aquifer has been developed for the Savannah, Georgia, area. The model simulates the response of the aquifer system to various hydrologic stresses. Model results of the water levels and water-level changes are shown on maps. Computations may be extended in time, indicating changes in pumpage were applied to the system and probable results...

Hydrologic Data for Urban Studies in the Fort Worth, Texas Metropolitan Area, 1975 Hydrologic Data for Urban Studies in the Fort Worth, Texas Metropolitan Area, 1975

This report contains rainfall and runoff data collected during the 1975 water year for Sycamore Creek, Sycamore Creek tributary , Dry Branch, and Little Fossil Creek study areas in Fort Worth, Texas. The information will be useful in determining the extent to which progressive urbanization will affect the yield and mode of occurrence of storm runoff. Detailed rainfall-runoff computations

Ground-water resources and geology of Colquitt County, Georgia Ground-water resources and geology of Colquitt County, Georgia

Limestone beds of Eocene, Oligocene, and lower Miocene age, called the principal artesian aquifer, are the chief source of ground water for Colquitt County. Because streams are small, undependable and relatively inaccessible to most users, ground water is the most important source for increased industrial and agricultural water use. Southeast of Moultrie the principal artesian aquifer is...
