Analysis of Quality-Assurance and Quality-Control Procedures for an Urban Water-Quality Monitoring Program, Gwinnett County, Georgia
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-03)The U.S. Geological Survey has, during many years of environmental monitoring, developed quality-assurance and quality-control procedures to assist in the collection of accurate and representative water-quality data. Urban ... -
Analysis of Tracer Migration in a Diverging Radial Flow Field
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-03)Hydrodynamic dispersion is an important factor controlling contaminant migration in the subsurface environment. However, few comprehensive data sets exist for critically evaluating the impact of travel distance and site ... -
Application of High Dimensional Model Representations (HDMR) and Interpolation to Optimize Nutrient Removal Under Uncertainty
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-03)In order to circumvent difficulty caused by model uncertainty, high dimensional model representation (HDMR) and interpolation were employed to approximate model outputs with different combinations of manipulated variables ... -
Bacterial Source Tracking in the Vernon River Watershed
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-03)The Vernon River basin drains 16,000 acres of densely populated, urbanized area that includes portions of the City of Savannah and Chatham County and all of the City of Vernonburg. The upper reaches of the basin are comprised ... -
Basin-Wide Water Budgeting Using an Integrated Model
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-03)Integrated surface water/groundwater models have been used extensively for water budgeting and water resource allocation projects in Florida. Is a similar modeling approach viable in Georgia? The Caloosahatchee River Basin ... -
Belted Strand Retention Fabric: An Alternative to Silt Fences for Erosion and Sediment Control
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-03)In this study SiltSaver belted strand retention fence was compared with traditional type C silt fence with the goal of determining if it would be acceptable for use as a sediment barrier in Georgia. ASTM standard methods ... -
Big Creek Sub-Watershed Study: Water and Bed Sediment Quality Relational to Pesticide and Nutrient Concentrations
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-03)The City of Alpharetta, Georgia was awarded a 319(h) grant in 1999 for the study of water and bed sediment quality relational to pesticide and nutrient concentrations in the Big Creek sub-watershed. After changes in personnel ... -
Changes in Stream Temperature for Selected Streams in Georgia, 1955–2004
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-03)Results from analysis of stream temperatures at 39 streamgaging stations located throughout Georgia, show that stream temperatures changed little from the 1950s, through 1970s, but increased from the 1980s through early ... -
