Ernest Vandiver Governor of Georgia and Commissioner Ex-Officio State Division of Conservation Atlanta, Georgia October 2, 1962 Dear Governor Vandiver, I have the honor to submit herewith Georgia Geological Survey Bulletin No. 73, "Effect of a Severe Drought (1954) on Streamflow in Georgia" by M. T. Thomson and R. F. Carter of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Department of Mines, Mining and Geology. This report is published to provide a comprehensive analysis of the effect of an outstanding drought on the surface water resources of the State. The observed flow data on which this report is based were published early in 1955 as Information Circular 17 in order to make those data immediately available to the public. Streamflow during the drought of 1954 was observed and recorded more completely than in any previous drought in Georgia. This extensive documentation was performed at a time when much of the streamflow in the State was still free from man-made regulation and modification. The data in Information Circular 17 and the analyses of those data in this report will provide a basis for evaluation and comparison of the effect of future measures undertaken for protection against droughts and for control of surface-water resources. The technical evaluation and appraisal in this report of the effect of a severe drought on streamflow will be of continuing benefit to the people of Georgia, serving as a guide to wise use and development of the streams of the State.

Derived values of drought flows are presented, including minimum average flows for one day and for longer periods of time. Methods are presented for estimating the volume of supplemental storage that would be required to maintain various rates of flow during a drought such as that of 1954. The probable accuracy of the derived drought data and of the storage requirement data is discussed. The probable frequency of recurrence of the 1954 drought is delineated for various areas of the State. This report provides the most thorough appraisal ever made in Georgia of a severe drought on a statewide basis. vi EFFECT OF A SEVERE. DROUGHT (1954) ON STREAMFLOW IN GEORGIA by M. T. Thomson and R. F. Carter INTRODUCTION Purpose and Scope This report presents the results of analyses of streamflow information collected by the U. S. GeologiCal Survey in Georgia during the drought of 1954 and during the period of low flow that persisted in the years following 1954. Observed data collected during 1954 were published by the Department of Mines, Mining and Geology in January, 1955, as Information Circular 17, to make these data available as quickly as possible because of the many urgent measures then under consideration to provide protection against drought damages. At the time that Information Circular 17 was prepared, it was planned to present the analyses of the data in that publication in a subsequent Information Circular. However, because the information is expected to have a long period of usefulness-at least until some future drought surpasses in severity that of 1954the report is published as a Bulletin. The low streamflows in Georgia during the drought of 1954 in Georgia deserve special attention. They were probably the outstanding climatic event of the decade of the 1950's. If not the lowest streamflows ever known in most of the State, they were among the lowest. Because of the great number of low-flow measurements made, the low flows of 1954 were not only better defined, quantitatively, than any drought flows up to that time, but they provide a rare opportunity to appraise a drought on a statewide basis. The measurements of low flows made during the drought of 1954 are important because on many small streams they are probably the only such measurements that will ever be made under predominantly natural flow conditions during an extreme drought. Since 1954, the flows of streams in Georgia have become more and more affected by manmade regulation from innumerable small ponds and by diversions for water supplies and irrigation. 1 2 GEORGIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 73 Intensive surveys and studies of the drought of 1954 would not be warranted unless the information could be made applicable to future droughts. This is done in this report by establishing frequency relationships for the minimum flows of 1954, and by providing means of relating future low flows to those measured in 1954. Most of the people of Georgia will remember the low flows of the streams during the drought of 1954 for many years to come, and will prefer to plan their use of the streams and to design their measures for protection against future droughts on the basis of that event. Probably they will continue to do so until another, more severe, drought event occurs. When such an event does occur, the competitive demands on Georgia's water resources may be great enough to warrant economic evaluation of the measures to avoid losses from low streamflows. The economic evaluation should be on the primary basis of frequency considerations, rather than on the basis of an important, isolated, historical event. The computed minimum flows that occurred at the measuring sites for several duration periods are presented, as well as information for the design of storage reservoirs, based on the low flows of 1954 and the replenishment period of 1955. All of the information presented is based on studies and interpretations of the observed field data collected under drought conditions and represents the authors' concepts of what type of information is most likely to be needed by water-resources specialists, consulting engineers, and the public, for practical application to the water problems that can be anticipated in future droughts. The report explores the severity of the drought in terms of the frequency of extreme low streamflows, examines the accuracy of drought information and presents information to assist in the design of storage reservoirs that will provide a sufficient supply of water during future droughts. It also explains the methods of determining minimum flows and storage requirements at localities other than those at which streamflow measurements have been made. Administration and Acknowledgments Most of the streamflow data at the continuous-record gaging stations in Georgia and the low-flow measurements at the partialrecord gaging stations were collected under a cooperative agreement between the Department of Mines, Mining and Geology, EFFECT OF A SEVERE DROUGHT (1954) ON STREAMFLOW IN GEORGIA 3 Georgia State Division of Conservation, and the U. S. Geological Survey. The agreement also provided for the analysis of the drought flows and the preparation of this report. Many of the drainage areas listed in this report were obtained under a cooperative agreement with the Georgia State Highway Department. The report was prepared in the Atlanta District of the Surface Water Branch, U. S. Geological Survey, under the direction of A. N. Cameron, district engineer. R. F. Carter, hydraulic engineer in charge of special investigations, directed the analysis and compilation of the data. Data for the gaging stations on the Savannah River, St. Mary's River, Withlacoochee River, and the tributaries of the Tennessee River were furnished by district offices of the U. S. Geological Survey in States adjacent to Georgia. MINIMUM FLOWS DURING THE DROUGHT OF 1954 The minimum flows during 1954 for all the sites on the streams in Georgia for which field data are available are listed in table 1. The locations of the sites are shown on the map in figure 1, which also shows by means of symbols the approximate minimum monthly flows per square mile. Explanation of Minimum-Flow Information Units of Flow Streamflows are expressed in this report as cubic feet per second (cfs). A cubic foot per second is the rate of flow of a stream whose channel is 1 square foot in cross-sectional area and whose average velocity is 1 foot per second. That unit of flow is used most commonly by those concerned mostly with rivers and streams. Others concerned mostly with wells and conduits use units of gallons per minute, and million gallons per day; still others, concerned mostly with irrigation, use units of acre-inches per hour, or acre-feet per day. To avoid confusion in presenting the information, only the one unit of flow (cfs) is given in the tables and text. The reader who prefers to use other units can easily compute them-one cubic foot per second is approximately equal to 450 gallons per minute, two-thirds of a million gallons per day, 1 acre-inch per hour, or 2 acre-feet per day. The rounded equivalents are well within the usual limits of accuracy of streamflow information. Use of Significant Figures Care has been taken in presenting the flow information in this report to show streamflows only to the degree justified by their probable accuracy. Measured flows and records at gaging stations are generally given to three significant figures for flows greater than 100 cfs and to two significant figures for flows less than 100 cfs. Flows computed for sites other than those where measured or recorded data are available are frequently shown only as being within a given range-as on the map in figure 1. The limits of accuracy should be recognized when converting cubic feet per second to other units, and conversions should not be carried out to more significant figures than are given herein. Streamflows smaller than 0.05 cfs are considered to be too small and too much subject to error to report and consequently are given as zero flow. 4 EFFECT OF A SEVERE DROUGHT (1954) ON STREAMFLOW IN GEORGIA 5 Cubic Feet Per Second Per Square Mile Sometimes minimum flows are expressed as cubic feet per second per square mile (cfsm). This term represents the average number of cubic feet per second flowing from each square mile of the area drained by the stream, assuming that the runoff is distributed evenly in time and area. This concept is useful when comparing the flows of stream drainage areas of different sizes. However, the basic assumption that the runoff is distributed evenly over an entire drainage area is rarely valid when used for low streamflows as will be amply demonstrated by the information in this report. Consequently, the authors do not recommend the computation of low flows of a stream solely on the basis of the flows per square mile of another stream. Map-Numbering System The map numbers by which most of the sites are identified in column 1 of table 1 and on the map in figure 1 are those used in Information Circular 17. Where information at additional sites is given, the additional sites are identified by letter suffixes, and the information is inserted in the table in the proper place in downstream order. For example, site numbered 12A is downstream from site 12 and upstream from 13. If a site were numbered 12B it would be downstream from 12A and upstream from site 13. Drainage Areas The drainage areas in square miles are given in the second column in table 1. Many drainage areas had not been determined when Information Circular 17 was published. They are all given in this report. Some drainage areas are revised. When discrepancies appear in the drainage areas given in Information Circular 17 and in this report, the areas given in this report are considered more accurate. The drainage areas listed in table 1 were carefully measured on the best maps available according to the standards prepared under the supervision of the Subcommittee on Hydrology of the Federal Inter-Agency River Basin Committee and were included in a report.1 1 Carter, R. F., 1959, Drainage Area Data for Georgia Streams: U.S. Geol. Survey Open File Report. Location of Site Where Flow Data Apply The name of the stream is given in the third column of table 1 if it is known. To assist in the identification of the stream, the 6 GEORGIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 73 name of the stream to which it is tributary is given in the fourth column. A brief description of the location is given in the fifth column. The highway designation given in the description is generally that which was in effect in 1954. Precaution is needed in identifying a location in future years from a highway designation, as the highway may be relocated or its designation changed. Even a slight error in the location may seriously affect the usefulness of the information given here, when used in future years. For example, a sizable tributary or spring may enter the stream just upstream or downstream from the location and alter the flow considerably. Thus, the latitude and longitude of the site is often more reliable for identifying the correct location than is the highway designation. Minimum Daily Flow The minimum daily flow, as used in this report, is the mean flow for the minimum 1-day period from midnight to midnight. Generally, the minimum daily flow in 1954 occurred sometime in September or October. For most practical purposes, the flow given in column 6 of table 1 can be assumed to be the absolute minimum that occurred during 1954, even though the flow during the day may have varied somewhat. Some variation in flow occurs even under natural flow conditions because of diurnal evaporation from the water surfaces and transpiration from riparian vegetation. More pronounced fluctuation during the day occurs on streams that are regulated by the operations of mills and hydroelectric power plants. Minimum 7-Day Flow The minimum 7-day flow given in column 7 is the smallest arithmetic average of the daily flows for seven consecutive days during 1954. Generally, the minimum 7-day flow occurred in September or October, and on unregulated streams was not much greater than the minimum daily flow. On streams that are regulated by hydroelectric plants, the minimum 7-day flow may greatly exceed the minimum daily flow because such plants characteristically release large quantities of water for five days a week-Monday through Friday-and small quantities for the remaining two days-the "weekend holdover". The differences between the minimum daily and 7-day flows are greatest just downstream from the hydroelectric power plants and tend to diminish with distance downstream. EFFECT OF A SEVERE DROUGHT (1954) ON STREAMFLOW IN GEORGIA 7 Because many of the larger streams are regulated, it is generally more convenient to study the minimum 7-day flows than the minimum daily flows. Also, State agencies tend to regulate weekly operations rather than daily operations at water works and waste-treatment plants. Minimum Monthly Flow The minimum monthly flow, given in column 8, is the mean flow for the calendar month having the smallest mean flow during 1954. Generally, the minimum monthly flow was that for September or October. On most unrer:ulated streams minimum monthly flows are appreciably greater than the minimum 7-day and daily flow, but on regulated streartlS that are affected by seasonal storage operations at reservoirs they may not differ much from the minimum 7-day flows. Minimum monthly flows are convenient for Jtudies of large, regulated streams because the records of storage and diversions are generally available only on a monthly basis. Monthly flows are also useful for studies of the relations of streamflows to rainfall and other weather features. Some hydrologists prefer to use the minimum mean flow for a 30-day period instead of that for a calendar month. The former is generally somewhat smaller and tends to be related somewhat more consistently to the minimum mean flows for shorter and longer periods. However, for most purposes either quantity will serve with approximately equal accuracy. Both quantities were used in the analyses of the drought data, but the minimum mean monthly flow was chosen for presenting the results. Possible Severity of Water Shortages The minimum flows for the three periods provide an opportunity to evaluate the possible severity of water shortages for short periods. For example, a community or industry may require, most of the time, a flow equal to that of the minimum monthly flow that occurred in 1954. Yet no great harm would result if the flow were somewhat less for a few days. Ordinarily, the flow for about half the month would average less than the monthly mean. The minimum 7-day flow indicates how much less the flow would be for the lowest consecutive 7-day period within the month. The minimum daily flow indicates how much less the flow would be for the lowest day within the month. 8 GEORGIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 73 After considering the low-flow data, the community or industry could decide whether to accept the possibility of a deficiency, or take measures to insure a more dependable supply. The minimum flows given in columns 6 to 8 of table 1 are especially significant for municipal or industrial water-supply purposes for which water demands are uniform throughout the year or at their seasonal peak in the normal low flow period of September or October. Minimum Flows in Summer Months Minimum streamflows during the summer months may be of considerable concern, because water demands are not uniform throughout the year nor do they necessarily reach their seasonal peak in September and October. Irrigation demands in Georgia may be greater in the months of July and August when the crops naturally suited to the climate of the State normally require the most water. Recreational needs for water facilities are likely to be greatest in June, July and August rather than in September and October. Oxygen demands for aquatic life and the reduction of wastes may be at a peak in the hot months of July and August when the natural supply of dissolved oxygen in the water is smaller in proportion to the flow than in September and October when the water is cooler. For such reasons, competition for the use of water during the months of June, July and August in future droughts may be more severe than during the common low-flow months of September and October. Therefore, the minimum daily flows of June, July, and August are shown in columns 9, 10 and 11. These data provide an indication of water-supply in the summer months. The inclusion of more summer-time flow data is not considered to be warranted. Should a problem involving water shortages in the summer months arise, more detailed information would probably be required. Minimum 12-Month Flow, 1954-55 The remaining minimum flow statistic, shown in column 12 of table 1, is the minimum 12-month flow, 1954-55, which is the mean flow of the minimum 12-month period that occurred in 1954 and 1955. This is a much greater amount than those for the other minimum periods. It is given primarily because of its significance with respect to storage requirements. The minimum EFFECT OF A SEVERE DROUGHT (1954) ON STREAMFLOW IN GEORGIA 9 12-month flow represents the flow that could be made available uniformly for the 12-month period by storage operations of a reservoir that is assumed to be full at the beginning of the period, emptied sometime during the period, and then refilled by the end of the period. Perfect operation of such a reservoir in 1954 and 1955 (which would have been only theoretically possible) would have made the discharge of the reservoir uniform over one complete annual cycle of streamflow without the need of storage capacity in the reservoir to carry over water for more than one annual cycle. Minimum Flows per Square Mile Limitations of Minimum Flows Per Square Mile The subject of minimum flows per square mile is discussed here primarily to emphasize that the concept has limited usefulness. The concept that minimum flows of streams are directly related to their drainage areas may be dangerously misleading. Yet, for some practical purposes, mostly in a very generalized sense, the concept may be useful. In some places, the average flows of large streams over periods of several years may be closely related to the average rainfall on the drainage areas. Therefore, it is quite logical to think of average flows per square mile as being a significant concept to apply to sites on streams for which the discharge was not determined by actual streamflow measurements but for which the average rainfall may be determined. For example, if it were known that a stream draining 1,000 square miles had an average flow of 1,000 cfs, the average flow per square mile would be 1.00 cfsm. Then if the area of a stream in the same vicinity, and having the same average rainfall were 500 square miles, which can be determined readily from maps, its average flow would be 500 square miles x 1.00 cfsm or 500 cfs. This areal relationship for average flows has been determined to be quite satisfactory for large streams in some parts of Georgia. Unfortunately, this simple areal relationship is rarely accurate when applied to the minimum flows of even large streams in Georgia. One stream having a drainage area of 1,000 square miles may have a minimum flow of 10 cfs, or 0.01 cfsm, while the miniinurn flow of a stream draining 500 square miles in the vicinity and having the same average rainfall could be zero or even more than 10 cfs. Such discrepancies are common in Georgia on streams 10 GEORGIA GEOLOGICAL SllRVEY BULLETIN 73 draining areas of 100 square miles or less as shown on the map in figure 1. Explanation of Symbols The minimum flows per square miles shown on the map in figure 1 are for the monthly data. The data for the minimum 7-day and daily flows would show similar but somewhat more varied patterns. The data are presented as symbols to represent various rates of flow per square mile. The ranges of flow per square mile shown by each symbol are approximately the same percentage-wise except for those for zero flow and those for flows less than 0.01 cfsm. For example, the symbol that represents the class having the smallest range of flows per square mile, has a 1-to-3 range, 0.01 to 0.03. The symbol representing the next larger class has approximately the same 1-to-3 range, 0.03 to 0.1, which is approximately three times the magnitude of the range shown by the lesser symbol. The fourth symbol again has a 1-to-3 range, 0.1 to 0.3, which again is approximately three times the magnitude of the range shown by the third symbol. Regional Generalizations The map in figure 1 shows five broad hydrologic provinces, the Blue Ridge, the Valley and Ridge, the Piedmont, the upper Coastal Plain, and the lower Coastal Plain. Technically, the Coastal Plain is one physiographic province, but for clarity in this report the upper and lower parts of the Coastal Plain are treated as separate hydrologic provinces. The boundary between the Piedmont province and the Coastal Plain is called the Fall Line, or sometimes the Fall Zone because like a sea coast, it has "islands" of either Piedmont or Coastal-Plain formations and other irregularities for a width of 5 to 10 miles. Each of the five hydrologic provinces tends to have many streamflow characteristics common within the province and different from those in the other provinces. It is convenient to describe streamflow characteristics within each province separately, particularly the characteristics of low flows of the small streams and of the segments of the larger rivers that lie within two or more of the areas. Examination of the map showing minimum flows per square mile in figure 1 will show that although differences occur on streams within local areas, some broad generalizations may be made, such as the prevalence of very low flows per square mile EFFECT OF A SEVERE DROUGHT (1954) ON STREAMFLOW IN GEORGIA 11 on streams in the lower Coastal Plain, and relatively high flows per square mile on streams in the Blue Ridge province. The following broad generalizations about the minimum monthly flow per square mile of streams in Georgia during the drought of 1954 are made from the data shown on the map in figure 1. 1. Streams in the lower Coastal Plain had either zero flows or very low flows per square mile, generally less than 0.01 cfsm. 2. Streams in the upper Coastal Plain had flows per square mile ranging from zero to more than 1.0 cfsm. 3. Streams in the Piedmont province had flows per square mile that varied locally, but having a distinct trend from predominantly zero near the Fall Line to as much as 1.0 cfsm near the mountains. 4. Streams in the Ridge and Valley province had flows per square mile that ranged from zero to 1.0 cfsm. 5. Streams in the Blue Ridge province had generally the highest flows per square mile in the State, ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 cfsm. These broad generalizations have little relation to practical water problems. For example, a municipality or industry in the Piedmont province of Georgia that requires a flow of 1 cfs and depends on a stream draining 10 square miles would find little satisfaction in the information that the minimum flow during a drought like that of 1954 would be between zero and 10 cfs. The minimum flow per square mile shown on the map in figure 1 may be used by the reader for some general broad evaluations of water supplies if the most adverse flows indicated are used. For example, in the example just mentioned, he might note that the available minimum flow of the stream might be as little as zero, and therefore conclude that further and better information on the minimum flow is necessary. Better means of computing minimum flows of streams than those provided by areal comparisons are available and will be discussed in the following sections of this report. COMPUTATION OF MINIMUM FLOWS The minimum flows at 106 gaging stations in Georgia and at 1,082 additional sites during the 1954 drought are given in table 1 of this report. From these data, minimum flows can be computed for other sites where flow information is desired. Three methods of computing minimum flows at ungaged sites on streams are described in this report as: (1) the drainage-arearatio method, (2) the discharge-ratio method, and (3) the control point method. The diagram in figure 2 illustrates the three methods. Drainage-Area-Ratio Method The drainage-area-ratio method, illustrated by line A in figure 2, is based on the assumption that the low flows of streams are proportional to their drainage areas. The drainage area and the minimum flows at gaging stations are given in the Water Supply Papers of the Geological Survey. To apply this information to ungaged sites, the user must first determine, from the best maps available, the drainage area of the stream at the ungaged site for which he wishes to know the minimum flows. He then divides the drainage area for the ungaged site by the drainage area of a suitable gaging station as given in the Water Supply Paper to obtain the drainage-area ratio. He merely applies this ratio to the known minimum flows at the gaging station to compute the minimum flows at the ungaged site. This simple method may give quite satisfactory results on large unregulated streams at ungaged sites close to gaging stations, but the accuracy of the results diminishes as the drainage areas for the ungaged sites become smaller, and as the distance from the gaging stations increases. Furthermore the results may be grossly in error, even on adjacent streams, as shown by the many disparities in minimum monthly flows per square mile on the map in figure 1. The drainage-area-ratio method is not recommended for anything but the most general type of estimates. However, the other two methods require that the flow at the ungaged site be measured under certain low-flow conditions. The user may not be equipped to measure the flow, or he may not be able to wait until the required flow conditions occur. In such circumstances, he has little choice but to use the drainage-area-ratio method, for which 12 100 CONTROL POINT - A POINT ON EQUAL YIELD PER .SQUARE MILE LINE, CORRESPONDING TO I 1/2 ... .c u 0 ..."....'. .Q....j DISCHARGE OF now u :.,) 0 "l > /- " " - - - CONTROL- POINT METHOD OF FLOW ESTIMATION Ul I t:i :g,.0, lJ1 >.,) _..._ ..... streams. 14 GEORGIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 73 the information in figure 1 of this report should be of considerable help. To use the information in this report, the user must first determine the drainage area at the ungaged site as best he can from the best maps available. He should then locate the nearest sites for which minimum flow data are given in this report, from figure 1. The sites must be on unregulated streams within the same province. They should be on streams having approximately the same size drainage area as the ungaged site. To be prudent, tbe user should not assume that he can compute the flows per square mi1e by interpolating the ranges hown by tbe symbols on tbe map, but he should elect the smallest range of flow per square mile shown in the appropriate vicinity. He should then multiply the drainage area at the ungaged site by the range of flows per square mile at the gaged site to obtain the range of flow at the ungaged site. This procedure will provide an estimate of the range of minimum monthly flows at the ungaged site. He can then estimate storage requirements and the probabilities of recurrence in the future from the information given later in this report. Discharge-Ratio Method The discharge-ratio method, illustrated by line B in figure 2, is based on the assumption that the low flows of streams vary proportionally so long as the flows are not affected by storm runoff or regulation. Such flows are called base flows. They are derived from the gradual draining of water stored in the ground or in swamps, ponds, and stream channels. Under ordinary baseflow conditions, the low flows at nearby sites on a stream or on adjacent streams within a province tend to vary proportionally. Proportional variation means that if the base flow of one of two nearby streams were to decrease 10 percent in a few days, the base flow of the other stream would be expected to decrease 10 percent in the same period also. Simultaneous discharges of such streams, when plotted to a logarithmic scale like that in figure 2, would plot close to a line with a 45 slope (such as line B in that figure) for a relatively small range of discharges. Using this principle to compute the minimum flow at an ungaged site on a stream, the drainage area at the ungaged site is not necessarily required, but an accurate measurement of the low flow is required at a time when no storm water is in the stream. Generally this condition will occur only after several days without EFFECT OF A SEVERE DROUGHT (1954) ON STREAMFLOW IN GEORGIA 15 rain anywhere in the drainage basin-a condition which is rare in Georgia except during late September and most of October. Low-flow measurements at any other period are generally unreliable for use in computing minimum flows. Having made a satisfactory base-flow measurement at the ungaged site, a reliable computation of minimum flows at the site may then be computed. Until the information in Information Circular 17 became available in 1955, the next step in the computation was to obtain the streamflows at a gaging station in the vicinity, from the nearest office of the U. S. Geological Survey. That may still be desirable in the future. When requesting streamflow information from the Geological Survey, certain details should be given about the place, time, and amount of flow that was measured at the ungaged site. Those details enable the Survey to give the best available information. The place is important, because the Survey may already have available some observed flow data at that place, or the Survey may have information about regulation at the site or other conditions that may be pertinent. The Geological Survey makes measurements at additional sites on the small streams in Georgia whenever the base-flow conditions are favorable. The exact date and time of the measurement at the ungaged site are important because there might be diurnal fluctuations in flow that are serious enough to be considered in the computation of the minimum flows. The measured discharge is important because the experienced hydrologists of the Survey may be able to judge whether the discharge appears to be reliable, and if not, call attention to possible errors. If the need for results is urgent, the information from the U. S. Geological Survey may be expedited by visiting the nearest gaging station on an unregulated stream in as short a time as possible before or after measuring the flow at the site. Most gaging stations are equipped with a gage in the water on which the gage height of the water surface can be observed. Then the Survey office can be called, giving that gage height, and the corresponding discharge can be immediately obtained. It may be even better to measure not only the flow at the ungaged site, but also to measure the flow, as nearly simultaneously as possible, at one of the sites in the same hydrologic province at which measurements have been made by the Survey and for which the location and minimum flow data are given in table 1 16 GEORGIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 73 of this report. Using the site selected from table 1 as a gaged site, minimum flows at the ungaged site can then be computed. Preferably, the gaged site selected from table 1 should be one of several possible sites in the vicinity of the ungaged site. To choose an acceptable gaged site, the flow per square mile of drainage area for a specific period should be compared for all the possible sites and any sites with flows that differ grossly from the general average for the area should be eliminated from consideration. Of the acceptable gaged sites with flows that compare reasonably well with each other, one should be selected that has a drainage area of about the same size as the ungaged site and is fairly near. The computations of the minimum flows at the ungaged site by the discharge-ratio-method can be made graphically on logarithmic cross section paper like that in figure 2, or by simple arithmetic. By simple arithmetic, the computation is done by dividing the flow measured at the ungaged site by the simultaneous flow at the gaged site listed in table 1 to obtain the discharge ratio. The minimum flows listed for the site in table 1 are then multiplied by the discharge ratio to obtain the corresponding minimum flows at the ungaged site during the drought of 1954. The results should be rounded off to correspond with those given in table 1 to avoid the implication of unwarranted accuracy. The accuracy of low flows computed by the discharge-ratio method is nearly as good as those computed by the third method, the control-point method, if the minimum flows are not too much less than the flows actually measured. The limitations of accuracy are discussed more fully in the following description of the control-point method. Control-Point Method The control-point method was developed by C. H. Hardison of the U. S. Geological Survey (oral communication). In his studies of correlation of simultaneous natural flows at gaging stations within short distances of each other in the Southeastern States, he observed that, when plotted on logarithmic coordinates, correlation curves tend to be straight lines which intersect the equal yield line at a discharge about 1.5 times the average discharge at the independent station. Above that point, called the "controlpoint" in this report, the correlation curves tend to assume a 45 slope indicating that storm runoff, which dominates the higher flows of streams, tends to be relatively uniform. EFFECT OF A SEVERE DROUGHT (1954) ON STREAMFLOW IN GEORGIA 17 Below the control point the correlation curves assume a variety of slopes reflecting the difference in base flows caused by geological characteristics such as the presence or absence of substantial contributions of ground water. Mr. Hardison's discovery is remarkably useful because the lower part of the correlation curve can be so consistently approximated by a straight line on a logarithmic plot. This makes it possible to project a correlation downward from the control point to minimum flows with considerable confidence, provided the position of some point on the correlation curve is defined by a sufficient number of simultaneous flow measurements. For most Georgia streams only one or two simultaneous flow measurements are available for the drought of 1954. Consequently the correlations used in this report are subject to considerable inaccuracy due to the lack of observed data. The control-point method of estimating minimum flows has considerable advantage over the discharge-ratio method. Both methods require the same simultaneous base-flow measurements, but the correlations by the two methods give progressively different results as the extension of the correlation curve below the measured flows to the minimum flows become greater, and as the disparities in the measured flows per square mile become greater. On figure 2, point 1 represents the plotting of the simultaneous flow at two sites. The correlation by the discharge-ratio method is the 45 line, B, and the correlation by the control-point method is the line C from point 1 to the control point 2. Line B, when extended upward misses the control point and flows estimated in that range will generally be in error. Line B, when extended downward to the range of minimum flows, will again be in error. When the measured flows of both streams are nearly proportional to the respective drainage areas and point 1 is therefore on or close to the 45 line that represents equal flows per square mile, the differences between the correlation curves by the two methods will be negligible. When the measured flows of the two streams differ radically from equal flows per square mile and point 1 is therefore far from the 45 line representing equal flows per square mile, the differences between the correlation curves by the two methods will be considerable. In the latter case, the correlation by the control-point method is usually more nearly correct than that by the discharge-ratio method. 18 GEORGIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 73 A slight error in the control-point method is engendered by possible errors in the use of the control point at 1.5 times the average flow. No theoretical explanation supports the choice of this flow value for the control point. The choice is purely empirical based on the examination of many correlation curves not only for streams in Georgia, but for streams in many other States. Many correlations intersect the equal yield line at other discharges. However, even if the position of the control point should vary considerably, this has a minor effect on the slope of the correlation line from the control point downward to the range of minimum flows when the simultaneous measurements are reasonably low, unless the flows per square mile at the two sites are radically different. The control-point method of computing minimum flows was used for the determination of the minimum flows shown in table 1 for the sites other than gaging stations. The use of that method is strongly recommended for computing minimum flows for other sites for which no record of streamflow is available. In using the control-point method, a measurement of the flow at the ungaged site is required as already described for the discharge-ratio method. However, instead of computing the simple discharge ratio, a correlation curve should be plotted, like that shown in figure 2 as line C. The drainage area of the ungaged site will be needed to do this. From table 1, a site on a gaged stream nearest to the ungaged site should be selected, using a stream that lies wholly, or mostly within the same province as the ungaged stream. The streams reported in table 1 were not regulated, except as indicated by footnotes, and, when making an investigation of minimum flows in future years, it should be made certain that the stream selected for correlation is still unregulated. No great error will ensue by using for the control point 1.1 cfsm in the lower Coastal Plain, 1.4 cfsm in the upper Coastal Plain, 1.7 in the Piedmont province, 2.4 in the Valley and Ridge province, and 3.5 cfsm in the Blue Ridge province. These values are 1.5 times the average of the flows per square mile for the gaging stations in the respective provinces. The drainage area of the chosen site for which the minimum flow is given in table 1 and that of the ungaged site are multiplied by the value given above for the province in which the sites are located to obtain the coordinates of the control point. The simultaneously measured flows at the two sites are then plotted to obtain the point marked "1" on figure 2. A line drawn EFFECT OF A. SEVERE DROUGHT (1954) ON STREAMFLOW IN GEORGIA 19 between the points is the correlation curve. The curve is entered with the minimum flows for the site given in table 1 on the proper axis and the corresponding minimum flows for the ungaged site read on the other axis. ACCURACY OF MINIMUM-FLOW DETERMINATIONS The accuracy of minimum-flow determinations for the drought of 1954 is generally best at gaging stations. The accuracy is less at the sites where one or two base-flow measurements were made during the drought of 1954 and still less at the ungaged sites where future determinations may be based on base flow measurements made during other years using the methods described in this report. To evaluate the probable accuracy of the information given herein and of the determinations which may be made in the future (based on that information and actual measurements at ungaged sites) a study was made of the probable accuracy of the determinations of the minimum flows during 1954 at the sites reported in table 1. Accuracy on Perennial Streams To make the accuracy study for perennial streams, a group of sites at which the 1954 low flow was known was selected as a sample, and the low flow at these sites was then estimated by both the control point method, using a higher base flow measurement made in 1954, and by the drainage-area-ratio method. The comparison of accuracy of the determinations by the two methods showed the control-point method to be much superior to the drainage-area-ratio method for most of the minimum flows of perennial streams that were determined during the 1954 drought. Furthermore, the accuracy by the drainage-area-ratio method is fixed because no other information is used. On the other hand, the accuracy by the control-point method may be improved by making more base-flow measurements. The study also indicated that the relative accuracy of the flow determinations depends largely on the magnitude of the flow determinations per square mile of drainage area. Flow determinations which are high per square mile of drainage area tend to have smaller proportional errors than flow determinations which are low per square mile of drainage area. Accuracy on Non-perennial Streams The preceding discussion has applied to streams that are considered perennial, i.e., streams that have some flow practically all the time. For practical purposes, as already indicated, the authors do not consider a stream perennial when the flow is less 20 EFFECT OF A SEVERE DROUGHT (1954) ON STREAMFLOW IN GEORGIA 21 than 0.05 cfs. There are many such streams in Georgia which are referred to here as non-perennial streams. North of the Fall Line, non-perennial streams rarely have drainage areas exceeding 5 or 10 square miles. In the Coastal Plain, however, many streams draining several hundred square miles may have zero flows under drought conditions such as those of 1954. The map in figure 1 shows that most of the streams lying entirely within the lower Coastal Plain had zero flows, as did many of the smaller streams in the upper Coastal Plain. It is easy to compute the minimum flows of streams which have been seen to have no flow. The minimum flow is zero. However, unless there is a gaging station at the site, it is not so easy to determine for how long the flow was zero, nor whether there may have been some storm run-off from showers during an extended dry period. Thus, there is some question as to the accuracy of zero flows for periods of a month or more. Prudence dictates that the flow of South Georgia streams should be assumed to be zero for at least a month unless there is some local evidence to the contrary. There may be evidence obtainable from local residents aoout dry streams, even though the residents cannot indicate how much flow there was for a perennial stream. If evidence indicates that a stream ceased to flow but that water stood in the pools, it may be safe to assume that the flow was zero for less than a month. On the other hand, if evidence indicates that the pools dried up, the flow was probably zero for longer than a month. There is no practical way to attach reliability to evidence obtained from local residents except to estimate the credibility of the witnesses. Some evidence of the length of the periods of zero flows on the streams of south Georgia might be derived from intensive studies and research based on observations of streams during the recurring drought conditions in that area. Successful research in the future might, in turn, make it possible to reconstruct the probable duration of zero flows during the drought of 1954. Inasmuch as some evidence (to be discussed later) indicates that the drought of 1954 in southern Georgia was a rare event-in some places possibly not exceeded in severity for a century-such studies and research may well be justified in the near future. COMPUTATION OF STORAGE REQUIREMENTS The suitability of a stream as a source of water supply or for waste disposal use may be severely limited by low flow during short periods, especially if the prospective user cannot afford to suspend operations during the most severe part of the drought. If the minimum flow is insufficient for his needs, the user may be forced to turn to an alternate source or to provide storage facilities to supplement the natural flow. Information on the minimum flow may be all that the user needs if this flow is adequate for his requirements. If this flow is less than is required, then additional data is needed in order to estimate the cost of providing supplemental storage. For sites on streams where complete-record gaging stations are located, the storage that would have been required to maintain various rates of flow during the drought of 1954 can be computed by analyses of the published streamflow records. Such storage analyses have been made of 1954 records for all complete-record gaging stations operated by the U. S. Geological Survey in Georgia on streams with little or no flow regulation. These analyses of the storage requirements at complete-record gaging stations were used to develop regional storage curves which may be used to compute estimates of storage requirements at other sites. These estimates will enable the prospective user of streamflow to make a more thorough appraisal of the cost of developing a given stream as a source of water supply or to make a comparison of the relative costs of developing alternative streams. In studying the storage requirement characteristics at the gaging stations, it was found that storage data for the stations could be fitted into consistent areal patterns for three regions which embrace the five physiographic provinces used in the minimum flow analysis. The storage data for streams in a given region define a family of mean curves for that region very well, but differ significantly from data for other regions. The regional storage curves are presented in figure 3 for the Piedmont and Blue Ridge provinces, in figure 4 for the Coastal Plain, and in figure 5 for the Valley and Ridge province. In these curves the minimum monthly flow, in cfsm, is shown on the abscissa, and the storage required to maintain a given rate of flow is shown on the parametric family of curves.

Determine the physiographic province in which the site is located from figure 1. Using the storage curve which refers to that physiographic province, figure 3, 4, or 5, enter the figure with the minimum monthly flow and read off the required storage opposite the required flow, as read on the ordinate, interpolating, if necessary between the storage requirement curves. The line for zero storage shows a flow rate which is less than the minimum monthly flow because, with no storage, the rate of flow is the same as the minimum daily flow. The probable accuracy of storage estimates made in this manner depends on two factors: the probable accuracy of the estimate 26 GEORGIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 73 of minimum monthly flow and the probable accuracy of the regional storage curve itself. The standard error of estimate of the regional storage may be judged from the accuracy with which the data for gaging stations check these curves. For the Piedmont and Blue Ridge regions, figure 3, data for two out of three stations with minimum monthly flows less than 0.1 cfsm check the storage curves within 8 percent and data for two out of three stations with minimum monthly flows greater than 0.1 cfsm check the storage curves within 5 percent. For the Coastal Plain, figure 4, data for two out of three stations with minimum monthly flows less than 0.1 cfsm check the storage curves within 15 percent and data for two out of three stations with minimum monthly flows greater than 0.1 cfsm check the storage curves within 6 percent. For the Valley and Ridge region, figure 5, data for two out of three stations check the storage curves within 5 percent. Storage estimates made by this method do not allow for losses due to evaporation and seepage. Such losses are a function of conditions at an individual site and are not subject to areal analysis. Proper allowance for such losses would have to be made in the design of any reservoir. The user of these storage requirement curves may be in some doubt as to which set of curves to use for sites on streams on or close to the border between two of the regions. In such a case, a safe procedure would be for him to compute the storage requirements by use of curves for each of the adjacent regions and to use the largest storage requirement value thus obtained. FREQUENCY OF DROUGHT OF 1954 The expected frequency of recurrence of drought flows is a measure of the severity of the drought. The severity is perhaps as important in the use of the minimum-flow data in this report as is the accuracy of the data. The frequency with which the conditions of 1954 may be expected in future years can only be judged by what has happened in the past. Data for the gaging stations in Georgia with long records that include the 1954 drought indicate that the relative severity of this hydrologic event varied considerably over the State. These gaging station records provide the best index of the frequency with which such conditions may be expected in the future. To evaluate the relative severity of the 1954 drought on an areal basis, drought flows at some of the shorter term gaging stations were correlated with concurrent drought flows at the long term gaging stations. The relative severity of the 1954 drought at these shorter term gaging stations was estimated and generalized areas were delineated in which the severity of the 1954 drought was indicated to be fairly uniform. The relative magnitude of the minimum 30-day average flow was used to compare droughts. These generalized areas and the relative severity of the 1954 drought in each area are shown on the map in figure 6, to range from the sixth most severe in 60 years to the most severe in 61 years. The areas are described below with a brief discussion of the long term gaging stations used as a basis for estimating the severity of the 1954 drought in each area. Coosa River basin, Chattahoochee River basin above Norcross and Tugaloo River basin above Toccoa (area "A" in figure 6): The 1954 drought in this area was the fourth to sixth most severe in 60 years. Drought flows in this area were correlated with flows observed at Chattahoochee River near Norcross for which records are available since 1903 and with Oostanaula River at Resaca for which records are available since 1893. The most severe drought observed at these two gaging stations occurred in 1925. Tennessee River tributaries in Northeast Georgia (area "B" in figure 6): The 1954 drought in this area was the second most severe in 57 years on the basis of correlation of drought flows with records for Hiwassee River above Murphy, N. C., for which records are available from 1898 to 1941 (with records of flow subject to artificial regulation available since 1941) and with 27 28 GEORGIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 73 SEVERITY OF 1954 DROUGHT AREA A : 19S4 DROUGHT WAS FOURTH TO SIXTH MOST SEVERE IN 60 YEARS AREA e ; 1954 OROU&HT WAS SECOND MOST SEVERE IN 57 YEARS AREA C: 1954 DROUGHT WAS MOST SEVERE IN 61 YEARS AREA O: 1954 DROUGHT WAS MOST SEVERE IN 29 YEARS AREA E : 1954 DROUGHT WAS SECOND MOST SEVERE IN 57 YEARS ' ' . ; ' Figure 6.

Savannah River basin below Augusta, Altamaha River basin below confluence of Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers, Ogeechee, Satilla, Suwannee and Ochlockonee River basins (area "D" in figure 6): No gaging stations are op~rated in this area which have records that go back as far as the 1925 drought. However, the available gaging station records in this area when correlated with long term gaging stations in other areas, indicate that the 1954 drought was the most severe since 1925 and was therefore, the most severe in at least 29 years. Chattahoochee River basin below West Point and Flint River basin (area "E" in figure 6): The 1954 drought was the second most severe in this area in 57 years on the basis of correlation of drought flows with records for Chattahoochee River at West Point for which records are available since 1898 and on the basis of correlation with several other gaging stations in the area with intermittent periods of record. The most severe drought observed at the gaging station at West Point occurred in 1925. SUMMARY Streamflows in Georgia during the drought of 1954 were observed and recorded more extensively than in any previous drought. The high density of flow measurements made during this significant climatic event makes it possible to define regional flow characteristics and to delineate some local areas of fairly uniform flow characteristics. Careful analysis of the data has indicated that regional generalizations are too broad to be of much value in solving practical water problems. Recognizable patterns of flow may be found in a few local areas. Some areas have generally high flow, some have generally low flow, and other areas have generally intermediate flows. However, even within these local areas there is still a large range of flow, so much so as to prohibit ~he effective application of areal low flow coefficients or factors in estimating low flow characteristics of specific streams. A streamflow measurement is needed at or near the site of a proposed use of a stream in order to make reliable estimates of the probable flow to be expected during times of severe droughts. Sites for which data are presented in this report are sites where at least one streamflow measurement was made. The derived low flow figures were determined by the method considered to be the best now available. It is recommended that drought flow estimates at any additional site be based on at least one measurement at the site and a concurrent determination of flow at a suitable index gaging station or a gaged site. The controlpoint method or discharge-ratio method is recommended for use in making such flow estimates. The drainage area-ratio method is not recommended for anything but general preliminary type of estimates. The volume of storage that would be required to provide for increased flows during a drought such as 1954 may be determined graphically from curves in this report. If the storage curves indicate that supplemental storage is required, then it is not necessary to estimate the absolute minimum flow. The estimate of storage requirement is likely to be more accurate than is the estimate of minimum flow, if the increased flow provided by the storage is substantially greater than the natural minimum flow. The flow data in this report have value for use during future droughts, but some important limitations should be considered 30 EFFECT OF A SEVERE DROUGHT (1954) ON STREAMFLOW IN GEORGIA 31 in applying these data to the problem of preparing for future drought emergencies. The degree of severity of the drought of 1954 was not uniform throughout the State and its probability of recurrence is not well determined. Many streams listed in this report will be affected by artificial regulation in the future, and the low flow characteristics of many streams may be affected to varying degrees by changes in land use. The data presented in this report should be used with care and good judgment. The services of competent consulting engineers should be obtained on problems of considerable economic importance.
