Design of Manning's-roughness-coefficient study in New York State
William F. Coon
1994, Conference Paper, Proceedings - National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering
Field-collected hydraulic data can be used to compute roughness coefficients for channels with different hydraulic characteristics. Suggested criteria for the design of a roughness-coefficient study include: (1) location of the study reach close to an established streamflow-monitoring site with a stable high-flow stage-to-discharge relation; (2) uniform hydraulic conditions within, and...

Total water withdrawals in Mississippi, 1990
P.M. Johnson
1994, Open-File Report 93-375
During 1990, the amount of water withdrawn from ground- and surface-water sources in Mississippi was about 3,600 Mgal/d (million gallons per day). Of this amount, 91 percent, or 3,300 Mgal/d, was withdrawn from freshwater sources. Of the total freshwater withdrawals, about 82 percent, or 2,700 Mgal/d, was withdrawn from ground-water...
Effects of agricultural land-management practices on water quality in northeastern Guilford County, North Carolina, 1985-90
D.A. Harned
1994, Open-File Report 94-60
The effects of different agricultural land-management practices on sediment, nutrients, and selected pesticides in surface water, and on nutrients and pesticides in ground water were studied in four small basins in the Piedmont of North Carolina. The basins included two adjacent basins in row-crop fields, a mixed land-use basin, and...
