Simulation of flood hydrographs for Georgia streams
Flood hydrographs are needed for the design of many highway drainage structures and embankments. A method for simulating these flood hydrographs at ungaged sites in Georgia is presented in this report.
The O'Donnell method was used to compute unit hydrographs and lagtimes for 355 floods at 80 gaging stations. An average unit hydrograph and an average lagtime were computed for each station. The

Simulation of flow in the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio region, Texas, and refinement of storage and flow concepts
The Edwards aquifer is a complexly faulted, carbonate aquifer lying within the Balcones fault zone of south-central Texas. The aquifer is recharged mainly by streamflow losses in the outcrop area of the Edwards aquifer and is discharged by major springs located at considerable distances, as much as 150 mi, from the areas of recharge, and by wells. Groundwater flow within the Edwards aquifer of the

Regional study of the Castle Hayne Aquifer of eastern North Carolina
The Castle Hayne aquifer is an eastward sloping and thickening wedge of limestone and sandstone, located in a 12,500 sq mi area in the eastern part of North Carolina. The Castle Hayne aquifer is the major source of freshwater for much of coastal North Carolina where the aquifers underlying the Castle Hayne contain saltwater. A regional study of the Castle Hayne aquifer was conducted to provide def

Estimated sediment deposition in Lake Corpus Christi, Texas, 1972-85
The investigation of sediment deposition in Lake Corpus Christi was initiated by researching the published and unpublished sediment data for the 1972-85 water years for stations located upstream and downstream of the lake. Regression analysis was used to fill in the missing data. Data were tabulated for monthly discharge (acre-feet) and sediment load (tons, acre-feet, and percent by weight). Yearl

Floods in Iowa: Stage and discharge
This report presents stations descriptions and tables of peak stages and discharges for 280 continuous- and partial-record gaging stations in Iowa. Data for the annual flood series for each gaging station and partial-duration series, at stations where available, are contained in the report.

Water year 1986 in Iowa: Precipitation and water resources
Water year 1986 was the second wettest on record in Iowa since records began being kept in the late 1800's. This report examines the spatial distribution of precipitation, the deviations from normal precipitation, and the effect of the excess precipitation on the water resources of Iowa. New high ground-water levels were established in water wells and new peak stages and new peak discharges were e

Surface- and ground-water quality data at selected landfill sites in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, 1980-86
The U.S. Geological Survey initiated an urban water quality study in 1979 in cooperation with the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, to study, among other things, the effects of solid waste disposal on the water quality in Mecklenburg County. Water quality samples (747 inorganic and 168 organic) were collected at 20 surface water sites and 53 monitoring wells at four selecte

Hydrologic and geologic data for the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone near Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas, 1986-87
This report presents a compilation and summary of data related to the interchange of water between the Edwards aquifer and streams, and to the hydraulics of vertical movement of water in the Georgetown Limestone in the Georgetown area of Williamson County. It presents hydrologic, geologic, hydraulic, physical, geophysical, and water-quality data collected from selected wells and stream sites in th

Water resources data, Texas, water year 1986. Volume 2: San Jacinto River basin, Brazos River basin, San Bernard River basin, and intervening coastal basins
The Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Federal, State, and City agencies, obtains a large amount of data pertaining to the water resources of Texas each water year. Such data, accumulated during many water years, constitute a valuable data base for developing an improved understanding of the water resources of the State. To make these data readily available
