Chemical analyses used in data summaries were limited to those stored in the USGS computer system (WATSTORE). Information on...
Flood frequency and storm runoff of urban areas of Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee
B.L. Neely
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4110
Techniques are presented for estimating the magnitude and frequency of peak discharges and storm runoff on stream in urban areas of Memphis, Tennessee. Comprehensive analyses were made in which physical characteristics of streams are related to snythetic flood characteristics at gaging stations. Equations derived from analyses provide estimates of peak...
Steady-state computer model of the water-table aquifer in the Mullica River basin, the Pine Barrens, New Jersey
A.W. Harbaugh, C.L. Tilley
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4295
A two-dimensional steady-state model of the water-table aquifer of the Mullica River basin was made to evaluate the flow system and data required to simulate it. The Mullica River basin covers 570 sq mi and is drained by numerous shallow streams. The water-table aquifer consists of sand and gravel intermixed...
