Magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States; part 1-B. North Atlantic slope basins, New York to York River

Flood magnitude-frequency relation applicable to streams in the North Atlantic slope basins, New York to York River, Va., are presented in this report.  The relations are based on flood data collected at 487 gaging stations having 5 or more years of record not materially affected by regulation. For sites on most streams, the magnitude of a flood of any given frequency between 1.1 and 50 years can

Devonian of the Appalachian Basin, United States

Although Devonian rocks in the Appalachians have been studied for more than 150 years, they are poorly known in most of the area. The nearly complete Devonian sequence in New York has been established as the North American standard of reference. The structural belt that includes unmetamorphosed Devonian geosynclinal strata is bonded on the southeast and east by metamorphic and igneous rocks of the

Delaware River basin - water data stations, 1967

This report presents information on station-type activities for acquiring surface-water, ground-water, and quality of water data in the Delaware River basin. The information was collected in 1966 through field offices of the Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey as part of a pilot study for the Office of Water Data Coordination. The cooperation and assistance of various Federal, state,

Lead poisoning in Canada geese in Delaware

Trainer and Hunt (9) stated that lead poisoning of Canada geese (Branta canadensis) had been reported from three states: North Carolina, Indiana, and Wisconsin. More recently, the Mississippi Flyway Council (8) cited suspected cases of lead poisoning of Canada geese in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, and Maryland. Hanson and Smith (6) also cited cases in widely separat

Hydrochemical facies and ground-water flow patterns in northern part of Atlantic Coastal Plain

The part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain that extends from New Jersey through Virginia was selected as a suitable field model in which to study the relationships between geology, hydrology, and chemical character of ground water. The ground-water flow pattern is the principal hydrologic control on the chemical character of the water. Within the Coastal Plain sediments, the proportions of clay, glauc
