Development of a revised regional hydrogeologic framework for the Floridan aquifer system using geophysical log marker horizons
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)During the process of updating the regional hydrogeologic framework of the Floridan aquifer system a series of subtle geophysical markers where found to be important in helping to define and correlate high and low permeable ... -
Streamstats: a web-based tool for estimation of streamflow characteristics in Georgia
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)StreamStats is a Web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) application that was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) to provide access ... -
Delineating the drivers of groundwater flow at a back barrier island – marsh transect in coastal Georgia
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)Groundwater plays an important role in coastal regions by delivering freshwater and nutrients to near shore and salt marsh environments. To quantify groundwater flow, salinity, temperature and pressure, sensors were installed ... -
Capturing pore water seepage in salt marshes: field measurements and modeling results
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)Marshes play an important role in the exchange of nutrients between terrestrial and marine environments, and it has long been hypothesized that these dynamic ecosystems export excess organic material to the coastal ocean ... -
Cash crop land suitability analysis using environmental spatial information through automated geospatial model
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)Georgia's agricultural industry plays a huge role in the state's economy, contributing billions of dollars annually. The agricultural production may increase with proper site specific crop management (SSCM). One of the ... -
Two Novel Optimization Strategies Based on PSO and EDA for Water Distribution Network Design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)Geographically The optimal design of a water distribution network (WDN) is a highly non-linear, multimodel, and constrained NP-hard combinatorial problem. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a typical metaheuristic search ... -
Display of flood inundation maps for Georgia using interactive web sites
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)Interactive Web sites and digital maps of flood inundation for select areas in Georgia are available on sites hosted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Weather Service. The USGS Georgia Water Science ... -
Trends in Annual 7-day Minimum Streamflow in Georgia
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)Many Federal, State, and local agencies use stream flow data to manage water availability for supply and power generation. Monitoring trends in low-flow data is important to ensure that water availability meets future ... -
Chattahoochee-Apalachicola Rivers Water Quality Sampling a Lagrangian Sampling Project
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)The field work portion of this project began September 22, 2012, with an expected completion date of November 10, 2012. The field work will involve traveling by canoe down the entire Chattahoochee-Apalachicola River system ... -
Integrated Municipal Stormwater and Wastewater Planning: an Avenue Toward Nutrient Reduction?
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)Recently the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has increased its efforts to support integrated stormwater and wastewater planning by municipalities. In June 2012, the agency released an Integrated Stormwater and ... -
Development of an Integrated Watershed and Lake Model System to Evaluate Nutrient Loads in the Upper Coosa River Basin
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)In 2006, Tetra Tech was contracted by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GAEPD) to develop watershed and lake models to evaluate nutrient loadings for Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for chlorophyll a impairments ... -
An update on groundwater conditions in the Clayton and Claiborne aquifers, southwest Georgia, 1994 to 2011
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)The Clayton and Claiborne aquifers are heavily pumped as sources of water for irrigation, public supply, and industrial purposes in southwestern Georgia. This pumping has led to large water-level declines in the Clayton ... -
Nutrient Trading Framework in the Coosa Basin
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)The Northwest Georgia Partnership is a group of water providers in Coosa Basin and surrounding watersheds. The Partnership is facing new permit limits in the Coosa Basin for wastewater discharges due to the Lake Weiss TMDL. ... -
The Paleolimnology of Lake Seminole, Ga: Phosphorus, Heavy Metals, Cyanobacteria and Two Invasive Species
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)Lake Seminole is a large reservoir formed by damming the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers. Current management objectives focus on decreasing the dense population of the invasive plant, Hydrilla verticillata, which can cover ... -
Continued Toxicity in Trail Creek Sediments One Year after the Industrial Fire
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)In July 2010 Trail Creek, an urban stream located in Athens, GA was contaminated with runoff from firefighting efforts that contributed nearly 700.000 gallons of water mixed with janitorial chemicals from a burning formulation ... -
Lake Bottom Sediment Analysis with Soil and Water Assessment Tool Application
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04)Urban sprawl and poor land management in the watershed of the lake Sidney Lanier, a multipurpose reservoir have affected the water quality of the lake. A major impairment of the lake was sediment deposition. The main goal ... -
