The effect of nitrification in the oxygen balance of the Upper Chattahoochee River, Georgia
Oxygen consumption as a result of nitrification, and carbonaceous bacterial oxidation were compared in a 108 kilometer reach of the Chattahoochee River, Georgia. Nitrogenous and carbonaceous oxygen consumption were separated by using an inhibitor of nitrification 1-allyl-2-thiourea. The comparison was conducted in the laboratory using samples collected from the water column. Nitrification accounte

Ground-water levels and quality data for Georgia, 1978
Mean water levels in wells across Georgia were from 0.25 foot higher to 11.4 feet lower in 1978 than in 1977, and in some areas were the lowest on record. Water levels in the principal artesian aquifer underwent a long-term decline during the period 1969-78. In some areas water levels dropped more than 10 feet. Wells tapping the Clayton Limestone in the Albany area showed a long-term decline durin

An economic analysis of selected strategies for dissolved oxygen management: Chattahoochee River, Georgia
Using the Chattahoochee River as an example, a method for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of alternative strategies for dissolved oxygen (DO) management is demonstrated. The conceptual framework for the analysis is suggested by the economic theory of production. The minimum flow of the River and the percentage of the total waste inflow receiving nitrification are considered to be two variable in

Evaluation of the geologic and hydrologic factors related to the waste-storage potential of Mesozoic aquifers in the southern part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, South Carolina and Georgia
The report describes the subsurface distribution of rocks of Cretaceous to Late Jurassic( ) age in the Atlantic Coastal Plain , South Carolina, and Georgia, and examines their potential for deep-well waste storage into th part of the regional sediment mass which lies below the deepest zones containing usable ground waters. For the study, usable ground water is considered to be that which contains

Water-quality characteristics of streams in forested and rural areas of North Carolina
Data collected in North Carolina during 1973-78 from a statewide network of 39 rural sampling sites were used to define unpolluted or baseline stream quality. The basins were 90 to 100 percent forested and, except for the unknown effects of air pollution, were relatively unaffected by man 's activities. Five distinct geochemical zones were delineated across the State. The chemical characteristics

Floods in Georgia, magnitude and frequency: Techniques for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Georgia with compilation of flood data through 1974
Regional relations are defined for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods having recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years on streams with natural flow in Georgia. Multiple-regression analyses were used to define the relationship between the flood-discharge frequency of annual peak discharges for streams draining 0.1 to 1,000 square miles and 10 climatological and physical
