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...

Artificial recharge for subsidence abatement at the NASA-Johnson Space Center, Phase I Artificial recharge for subsidence abatement at the NASA-Johnson Space Center, Phase I

Regional decline of aquifer head due to ground-water withdrawal in the Houston area has caused extensive land-surface subsidence. The NASA-Johnson Space Center (NASA-JSC) in southeastern Harris County, Texas, was about 13 to 19 feet above mean sea level in 1974 and sinking at a rate of more than 0.2 foot per year. NASA-JSC officials, concerned about the hurricane flooding hazard...

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area, 1975 Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area, 1975

Detailed rainfall-runoff computations, including hydrographs and mass curves, are presented for nine storm periods during the 1975 water year in drainage basins in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area. The information will be useful in determining the extent to which progressive urbanization will affect the yield and mode of occurrence of storm runoff. (Woodard-USGS)

Technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Texas Technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Texas

Drainage area, slope, and mean annual precipitation were the only factors that were statistically significant at the 95-percent confidence level when the characteristics of the drainage basins were used as independent variables in a multiple-regression flood-frequency analysis of natural, unregulated streams in Texas. The State was divided into six regions on the basis of the...

Hydrologic data for the Vamoosa Aquifer, east-central Oklahoma Hydrologic data for the Vamoosa Aquifer, east-central Oklahoma

Most of the data presented in this report were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey as part of a study of the geohydrology of the Vamoosa aquifer, in east-central Oklahoma, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological Survey. Some of the data listed in the tables were collected by Bingham and Moore (1975) and Bingham and Bergman (in press). Acknowledgment is extended to city officials...
