Activities of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Protecting Georgia's Wetlands
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991) -
Alternative Dam Construction Techniques
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)Water resources management in Georgia has taken on new importance over the last few years because of a series of years where below-normal rainfall has occurred. Georgia on the average receives approximately 49 inches of ... -
Application of Geographic Information System Technology to Sanitary Landfill Site Selection
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991) -
Aquatic Plant Management in Georgia Power Company Reservoirs
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)Georgia Power Company (GPC) operates 14 reservoirs covering 57,905 acres. Six reservoirs are located in the Mountains, seven are in the Piedmont, and one is in the Coastal Plain. This presentation will summarize the aquatic ... -
Areas in Georgia Poorly Suited for Municipal Landfills
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)Georgia, like the rest of the nation, is experiencing a problem with a shortage of landfill capacity. With each passing day, the need for additional landfill space is becoming more critical. In addition, there is a growing ... -
Bioaccumulative Contaminants in Fish, Risk Assessment and Fish Consumption Advisories
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)Some issues surrounding management of chemical contaminants which bioaccumulate in fish are reviewed. Contaminants in aquatic life are of increasing concern for fishery management, environmental and public health agencies ... -
Biological Approach to Use Attainability
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)The 1987 Clean Water Act amendments placed greater emphasis on toxicity-based approaches to improving surface water quality. To guide states having NPDES authority, a number of criteria documents have been prepared by the ... -
Book Cover and Front Material
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991) -
Changes in the Sport Fishery and Fish Population of West Point Lake, Since Impoundment
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)The early years of West Point Reservoir were marked by a rapidly expanding fish population and heavy use and harvest by anglers. During the late 1970's and early 1980's, the sport fishing harvest was dominated by black ... -
Chemical Leaching in Large Conventional and No-Tillage Soil Columns
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)No-tillage and other conservation tillage systems are very effective in reducing erosion, in part because macropores consisting of cracks, root channels, and worm and insect burrows can speed the flow of water through the ... -
A Comparative Study of Mathematical Models for Migration of Pesticides in Surface and Subsurface Waters
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)Development, validation, and application of mathematical models for evaluating fate and transport of pesticide in the environment have received considerable attention during recent years. Mathematical modeling provides a ... -
Comparison of Infiltration and Detention in the Georgia Piedmont Using Recent Hydrologic Models
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)Infiltration is a possible alternative to detention for control of urban stormwater. Infiltration is capable of controlling peak flows as is detention, but also promises the advantages of flow volume control, base flow ... -
Constructed Wetlands for Assimilation of Dairy Effluents: Monitoring Studies
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)Currently much emphasis is being placed on non-point source (NPS) pollution. In addition to identification and extent of these sources, there also exists the need for targeting best management practices (BMP) and ... -
Construction and Operation of a Biotreatment Facility for Remediation of Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soil
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991) -
A Control Model for the Savannah River System
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)Reservoir operation certainly provides ample opportunity to use computer-aided management tools. Except for simple systems, namely, small, single objective reservoirs, where optimal decisions are obvious, the decision ... -
Cost-Effective Design of a Treatment System for Cleaning Up Soils and Ground Water Contaminated with Petroleum Hydrocarbons
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)Today, it is not uncommon to drive around your neighborhood and notice that the comer gasoline station is out of service for several days for replacement of underground tanks. In fact, leaking underground tanks are ... -
Developing Watershed Protection Criteria for Georgia
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)Most smaller public water systems in north Georgia have traditionally used groundwater; those that used surface water had little development in upstream watersheds and little need for watershed protection. The droughts of ... -
The Development of the Georgia Automated Environmental Monitoring Network
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)Weather is one of the most important factors which controls crop growth, development, and yield. The 1990 drought in southern Georgia, for instance, caused a significant reduction in agricultural production, especially for ... -
Diffuser Design and River Modeling
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)Permitted wastewater discharges from industrial facilities are required by state and federal environmental regulations to assimilate into the receiving stream within a reasonable distance downstream of the discharge. ... -
"Drastic" Mapping to Determine the Vulnerability of Ground-Water to Pollution
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Natural Resources, 1991)The Georgia Geologic Survey Branch of the Environmental Protection Division, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, in cooperation with the Georgia District of the U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division, is ...
