Low-flow data for locations on the main stem and for low-flow contributions of tributaries are analyzed and plotted as "flow profiles" for several different historical events on the upper Flint River in Georgia, for the reach from the vicinity of Griffin down to the vicinity of Culloden. Also shown as a flow profile are minimum average 7-day flows to be expected at the 10-year recurrence...

This report contains the rainfall, runoff, and storage data collected during the 1975 water year for the 21.6-square-mile area above the stream-gaging station North Creek near Jacksboro, Texas. The weighted-mean rainfall in the study area during the water year was 39.01 inches, which is greater than the 18-year average of 30.21 inches for the period 1958-75. Monthly rainfall totals...

Flood information for the Big Creek basin in Linn County, Iowa, should be of use to those concerned with the design of bridges and other structures on the flood plains of the streams. Water-surface profiles for the flood of May 1974 are given for Big Creek and its major tributaries, East Big, Crabapple, Elbow, and Abbe Creeks. The May 1974 flood was at least a 50-year flood on East Big...

This report contains rainfall, runoff, and storage data collected during the 1975 water year for a 75.5 sq mi area above the stream-gaging station Little Elm Creek near Aubrey, Texas. Floodflows from 35.7 sq mi of the area are regulated by 16 floodwater-retarding structures constructed by the Soil Conservation Service. Six storm periods were selected for detailed computations and...

A method is presented for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods for urban streams in metropolitan Atlanta. The method is based on adjustments to the natural stream flood-frequency and rainfall-frequency characteristics of the local area as defined by urban flood studies in other areas. The effects of urbanization on flood-peak runoff are estimated from the percentage of...

Water resources data for the 1976 water year for Georgia consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs. This report contains discharge records for 99 gaging stations; stage for 9 gaging stations, stage and contents for 16 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 20 continuous stations and 108 periodic stations. Also...

This report is a compilation of the fluvial sediment data collected and published by the U.S. Geological Survey and other Federal agencies for the State of Iowa. The compilation includes daily extremes, monthly summaries, particle-size analyses of suspended-sediment, particle-size analyses of bed materials at some daily suspended-sediment stations, suspended-sediment concentrations and...

The purpose of this report is to show the general geographic areas of recharge to the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas (fig. 1). The areas of recharge shown on the map were determined by interpretations of subsurface hydrology, soil surveys of Harris County, and surface and subsurface geology.

Mountain Creek drains the northeast corner of Johnson County, the northwest corner of Ellis County, the southeast corner of Tarrant County, and part of the southwest corner of Dallas County, Tex. The basin is 30 miles long and averages 10 miles in width. The total drainage area at the mouth is 304 sq mi. Basin outflow for the 1975 water year was 146,400 acre-feet which is 68,880 acre...
