Science and Products
Developing Regional Curves for Estimating Bankfull Geometry for Streams in Georgia
Stream channels often are disturbed by human activities such as construction or agriculture. In recent years, scientists and engineers have begun to apply the principles of natural channel design to the construction and restoration of stream channels. Natural channel design, or “stream restoration” involves rebuilding a channel with the appropriate dimensions, slope, and plan view pattern so that...
Techniques for Estimating Magnitude and Frequency of Floods for Rural Basins in the Southeastern United States
Reliable estimates of the magnitude and frequency of floods are part of the technically-based framework for hydraulic-structure design and flood-plain delineation in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. Annual peak flows measured at U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamflow gaging stations (stations) are used to compute flood frequency estimates for a location on a stream. However, such...
StreamStats for Georgia, North and South Carolina
StreamStats is a map based Web application that provides information that can be used by engineers, managers, and planners to make informed decisions on water-related activities. Primary products are basin delineations, basin-characteristic measurements, and estimates of streamflow statistics. StreamStats allows for the analysis of upstream and downstream relations along streams.
Urban and Small, Rural Streams Flood Frequency Information
Reliable estimates of the magnitude and frequency of floods are essential for such things as the design of transportation and water-conveyance structures, flood insurance studies, and flood-plain management. Flood-frequency estimates are particularly important in densely populated urban areas. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is using a multistate approach to update methods for determining the...
