Low Flow Site Map for Georgia, North and South Carolina

Computation of low-flow statistics at continuous-record streamgages and regionalization of selected low-flow characteristics for streams in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina

This ongoing USGS study for Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina aims to (1) compute low-flow statistics at selected continuous-record streamgages in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina and to (2) develop regional regression equations for a subset of those low-flow characteristics for streams that are not substantially affected by tides, regulation, diversions, or other...

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 - Water-monitoring site analysis from USGS

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.

State of science, gap analysis, and prioritization for southeastern United States water-quality impacts from coastal storms—Fiscal year 2023 program report to the Water Resources Mission Area from the Water Availability Impacts of Extreme Events Program—H

Tropical cyclones (coastal storm events that include tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes) cause landscape-scale disturbances that can lead to impaired water quality and thus reduce water availability for use. Stakeholders and scientists at local and national scales have illustrated a need for understanding these risks to water quality. A regional and comprehensive...

Magnitude and frequency of floods for rural streams in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, 2017—Summary

Reliable flood-frequency estimates are important for hydraulic structure design and floodplain management in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Annual peak streamflows (hereafter, referred to as peak flows) measured at 965 U.S. Geological Survey streamgages were used to compute flood-frequency estimates with annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs) of 50, 20, 10, 4, 2, 1, 0.5...

Preliminary peak stage and streamflow data for selected U.S. Geological Survey streamgaging stations in North and South Carolina for flooding following Hurricane Florence, September 2018

Hurricane Florence made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, shortly after dawn on September 14, 2018. Once over land, the forward motion of the hurricane slowed to about 2 to 3 miles per hour. Over the next several days, the hurricane delivered historic amounts of rainfall across North and South Carolina, causing substantial flooding in many...
