Droughts in Georgia
Nancy L. Barber, Timothy C. Stamey
2000, Open-File Report 2000-380
Droughts do not have the immediate effects of floods, but sustained droughts can cause economic stress throughout the State. The word 'drought' has various meanings, depending on a person's perspective. To a farmer, a drought is a period of moisture deficiency that affects the crops under cultivation - even two...
Flood tracking chart for the Upper San Jacinto River Basin near Houston, Texas

2000, Open-File Report 2000-387
The “Flood Tracking Chart for the Upper San Jacinto River Basin near Houston, Texas” can be used to track river stage and to assess flood-crest information during substantial storms. Water-surface elevation during a flood will provide emergency-response personnel, residents, and the traveling general public essential information to make informed decisions...
Velocity and stage data collected in a laboratory flume for water-surface slope determination using a pipe manometer
Jonathan K. Lee, H. M. Visser, H. L. Jenter, M. P. Duff
2000, Open-File Report 2000-393
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) hydrologists and ecologist are conducting studies to quantify vegetative flow resistance in order to improve numerical models of surface-water flow in the Florida Everglades. Water-surface slope is perhaps the most difficult of the flow resistance parameters to measure in the Everglades due to the very low...
A note on scrap in the 1992 U.S. input-output tables
George M. Swisko
2000, Open-File Report 2000-313
Introduction A key concern of industrial ecology and life cycle analysis is the disposal and recycling of scrap. One might conclude that the U.S. input-output tables are appropriate tools for analyzing scrap flows. Duchin, for instance, has suggested using input-output analysis for industrial ecology, indicating that input-output economics can trace the stocks and flows...

2000, Open-File Report 2000-255
Ground water contaminated by the chlorinated organic compounds trichloroethene (TCE), cis-dichloroethene (DCE), and vinyl chloride (VC) has been found in the surficial aquifer beneath the Naval Aviation Depot at the U.S. Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Florida. The affected area is designated Operable Unit 3 (OU3) and covers 134 acres adjacent...
Summary of precipitation data for the Black Hills area of South Dakota, water years 1931-98
Daniel G. Driscoll, Ghaith R. Hamade, Scott J. Kenner
2000, Open-File Report 2000-329
Long-term precipitation records are sum-marized for the Black Hills area of South Dakota. Precipitation data are available for numerous gaging locations; however, few gages have continuous, long-term records, and periods of missing record are common. Thus, a geographic information system (GIS) utilizing an inverse-distance weighting method was developed to generate...
1890 and 1990 Bathymetry of Florida Bay
Mark Hansen, Nancy T. DeWitt
2000, Open-File Report 2000-0347
This Open File Report contains bathymetric data collected in Florida Bay by the US Geological Survey, South Florida Place-Based Studies Program using SANDS (System for Accurate Nearshore Depth Surveying). SANDS is a USGS developed, high precision bathymetric system which integrates depth soundings, boat motion, and GPS positioning needed for nearshore...
