LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Atlanta; Jan. 15, 1955
To His Excellency, Marvin Griffin, Governor Commissioner Ex-Officio State Division of Conservation
Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith Information Circular No. 17, "Surface Water Resources of Georgia During the
Drought of 1954, Part !-Streamflow".
This r~port is published to provide factual information about the effect of the drought on the surface-water resources of the State. It is published in two parts in order to make the observed streamflow data in Part I available immediately for general use in the design of reservoirs and other measures for protection against recurring droughts. Part II, the analytical portion of the report, will be published when the analyses are completed.
The drought of 1954 was an economic disaster to Georgia's agriculture and a senous problem to municipalities and industries. It caused many streams to reach their lowest flow of record, but in much of the State streamflow conditions in 1954 were neither unprecedented nor much more severe than in other years. The seriousness of the situation was largely due to the greatly increased need for dependable water supplies and the competitive demands for limited supplies.
Fortunately, there was an active investigation of surface-water resources in Georgia m 1954, so factual information about streamflow conditions throughout the State was available and currently reported. That information was of great value to municipalities and industries and to the engineers and agencies concerned with water supplies. Fortunately, too, the investigation was conducted on a statewide scale-accurate drought observations were made in practically every county.
The results of this drought investigation, the streamflow data for which is published herein, and the analyses of the data to follow will be of great value to the people. of Georgia. The information will not only aid in the current measures now being taken for protection against recurring droughts, but will aid also in the wise development of our water resources to meet the ever-growing demands upon them. The 1954 drought has demonstrated the limitations of our water resources under natural conditions. It is now apparent that our water resources must be developed if they are to meet the future needs of Georgia's expanding cities and industry and the increased use of water for irrigation that this drought has demonstrated to be so desirable.
Very truly yours,
Garland Peyton Director

SURFACE WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA DURING THE DROUGHT OF 1954
By M. T. Thomson and R. F. Carter
- PART I STREAMFLOW
ABSTRACT
Part I of this report contains s!reamflow data collected by the U. S. Geological Survey in Georgia during the 1954 drought for the study of minimum flows of Georgia streams. By methods explained in the text, the reader may compute, or estimate, the 1954 minimum flow for unregulated streams. He may approximately evaluate the frequency of drought occurrences from the data given for other years. He may use the data in this report during future droughts to predict their possible severity and thus protect himself from damage caused by low streamflow. Part II will present derived values of drought flows and storag~ needs for unregulated streams. This part of the report presents the streamflow data upon which the second part will be based.

INTRODUCTION

The drought of 1954 was a major agricu ltural disaster in Georgia. The Georgia Department of Agriculture estimated that total crop losses exceeded seven ty-five million dollars. The loss of forage hurt the dairy and cattle industries severely. The U. S. De partment of Agricultuz e designated 124 of the 159 counties in G eorgia as emergency areas under Public Law 875 to receive the benefits of the emergency feed program and 141 counties to be eligible under Public Law 38 for emergency production loans. Because many wells and ponds were dry, farmers had to haul water from nearby towns.

There was no power shortage in Georgia in 1954 as there was i,1 the drought of 1941 , but there was a serious loss of effi ciency and increased cos t of power production at two major steam plants- Plant Atkinson on the Chattahoochee River near Atlanta and Plant Arkwright on the O cmulgee River near Macon. River water was recirculated at both places to keep the plants in operation. No major industries were reported to have closed down because of water shortages.

Fig. I . Farmers' trucks in line for water at Tifton . Many Cities tn southern Georgia furnish free water to farmers during droughts .
Municipalities and industries also suffered during the drought but to a lesser extent than farmers. Many communities had to res trict the use of water because of limited pumping capacities or distribution systems. According to the Georgia D epartment of Public Health, 18 cities and towns had serious difficulties because the streams on which they depend for their water supplies dropp<':d below their requirements .

Fig. 3. Temporary sandbag dam on the Chattahoochee River. This was built below Plant Atkinson to provide for the recirculation of the river water for the condensers. Normal water requirement is 650 cubic feet per seco nd . At times during the 1954 drought the flow here was as low as 250 cubic feet per second .
The flow of most Georgia streams dropped to the lowest of record since the historic drought of 1925. Of the four rivers in Georgia for whi ch records are available for the 1925 drought, only the O conee River had a lower minimum flow in 1954 than in 1925. The minimum daily flow in 1954, howeve r, was slightly more than that for 1925. The other three have portions of their drainage basins in the mountain and valley regions of northern Georgia where the drought was not as severe as it was in other parts of the State.

in southern Georgia. Some streams were completely dry for the first time in the memory of local residents. Fortunately, ~ost cities and industries in southern Georgia use artesian wells, which were not seriously affected by the drought. However, the lack of water in small streams and in ponds for
stock and for irrigating was serious.

Most of the streamflow data at the continuous-record gaging stations in Georgia and the. low-flow measurements
at the partial-record gaging stations were collected under a co~p.erative agreement between the Department of Mines, Mmmg and Geology, Georgia State Division of Conservation, and the U. S. Geological Survey. The agreement also

Its streams have an average annual runoff of 26 to 41 inches.

The terrain is composed of high, forest-covered mountainous ridges, and narrow valleys in which most of the towns and cropland are found. The rivers generally have small drainage areas but relatively high water yields. They have steep rocky channels and swift flow over many rapids and waterfalls. There are many water power and storage reservoir sites. Springs supply most of the towns with water. If irrigation were to be practiced in the Mountain Region, there generally would be little difficulty in finding an adequate source because the bottomlands that would be irrigated are close to the streams.
Valley Region. The Valley Region in northwestern Georgia has an average annual rainfall of 49 to 58 inches. The rivers have an average annual runoff of 20 to 25 inches. The terrain is composed of wide cultivated valleys separated by narrow, steep, wooded ridges. Practically all the towns and farm lands are in the river valleys. The rivers flow in deep meandering channels bordered by wide flood plains except where they cut through the ridges in water gaps. There they are shallow and swift, with many rapids. The region has a few low-head water power sites on its major rivers and a few reservoir sites. In the water gaps through the ridges there are many good small dam sites for minor power development or reservoirs. Rivers and springs are the principal sources of municipal water. If water is desired for irrigation, there should be little difficulty in finding adequate supplies from the streams because most of the cultivated land is in the river bottoms close to the streams. There are, however, some minor streams in the region that have relatively small flows.
Piedmont Region. The Piedmont Region has an average annual rainfall of 45 to 59 inches. Its rivers have an average annual runoff of 14 to 21 inches. The region is a plateau with broad ridges separated by relatively narrow valleys. Nearly all the towns, highways, railroads, and farmlands are located on the ridges. The steep hillsides and most of the river valleys are wooded, but there are stretches of cultivated bottomlands along the larger rivers. The streams generally have moderate slopes and velocities and flow in well-defined channels within valleys of varying widths. Their beds are usually composed of silt or gravel overlying rock with occasional rapids and waterfalls. Small streams and rivers are the principal sources of water for cities and industries. There are many good, large water power and reservoir sites. Water for irrigation may be obtained from rivers and creeks for bottomland farms. Inasmuch as most of the farms are located on ridgetops, however, where there is no natural perennial source of water from the streams, the water usually must be obtained from farm ponds or by long pipe lines from larger streams.
Upper Coastal Plain. The Upper Coastal Plain Region has an average annual rainfall of 45 to 52 inches. Its larger streams have an average annual runoff of 14 to 28 inches. Paradoxically, however, the very small streams may have very little runoff because the pervious soil absorbs rain water rapidly. The channels of small streams do not cut deeply enough to intercept ground-water flow. The flow of the larger streams is strikingly uniform because of the small storm runoff and high yields due to ground-water seepage. The ~treams are generally sluggish, flowing in deep, meandenng low-banked, tree-choked channels. 'They are bordered by wide, swampy, densely wooded valleys. The ridges are generally broad with gentle slopes. Practically all cropland, t~ansportation lines, and towns are on the ridges. River water IS used for steam power plants, in the manufacturing of clay products and food products, and for the chemical industry, but artesian wells supply most of the towns and

many of the industries. The region has some fairly satisfactory low-head water power sites. It has few reservoir sites on either large or small streams because of the flat terrain and pervious soil. Irrigation water in this region generally may be obtained from wells or, to a lesser extent, from ponds.
Lower Coastal Plain. The Lower Coastal Plain Region has an average annual rainfall of 45 to 52 inches. Its rivers have an average annual runoff of 9 to 13 inches. It has generally the least streamflow of any part of Georgia, partly because of its much higher temperatures and low flow-producing land characteristics, and possibly because of the high consumptive demands for water by the dense growth in the swamps. The terrain consists of very wide and very flat ridges separated by wide, swampy, heavily wooded valleys. Most towns and farms are found on the broad ridgetops. River water is used for steam power plants and for waste disposal from pulp and paper mills, food plants, and chemical plants. Most towns and industries, however, obtain water from artesian wells. There are a few reservoir and low-head water power sites. The main source of irrigation water is wells and, to a lesser extent, ponds.
River Systems
Many of the larger rivers of Georgia are regulated by the storage reservoirs shown on the map in the pocket or by hydroelectric power plants. The flows of regulated rivers are complex. Records from gaging stations on them are not usable for computing the minimum flows of their tributaries.
The Savannah River system begins in the Mountain Region with the Chattooga River which is joined by the Tallulah River to form the Tugaloo River, which in turn joins the Seneca River to form the Savannah River. The flow of Tallulah River is regulated by the storage at Lake Burton and six power plants. Clark Hill Dam creates a great multi-purpose storage reservoir for flood control and power that has enormous control over the flow below it. Clark Hill Dam is operated in conjunction with Stevens Creek Dam on the Savannah River to provide a relatively uniform flow below Augusta for navigation.
The Ogeechee River system begins in the Piedmont Region but receives most of its dry season flow as it crosses the upper Coastal Plain. It principal tributary, lying entirely within the lower Coastal Plain, is the Canoochee River.
The Altamaha River system is formed by two major branches, the Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers, which rise in the Piedmont Region and receive substantial increments of flow as they cross the upper Coastal Plain. The upper tributary to the Ocmulgee River, the South River, receives part of its flow, amounting to a large part of the drought flow, from water diverted by the Atlanta and DeKalb County Water Works and sewer systems from the Chattahoochee River. Jackson Lake regulates the flow of the Ocmulgee River. The Oconee River has minor regulation below Barnett Shoals Reservoir and severe regulation below Sinclair Dam at Milledgeville, which is discernible as far downstream as Doctortown on the Altamaha River.
Southern Georgia rivers. The Satilla River lies wholly within the lower Coastal Plain and has no regulation. The St. Mary's River and the Suwannee River lie wholly within the lower Coastal Plain and both drain parts of the Okefenokee Swamp. The Alapaha River, the Little River-

lower Etowah River and the Coosa River are regulated by Allatoona R eservoir.
The Tallapoosa River system in Georgia consists of the upper 'part of the Tallapoosa River and of the Little Tallapoosa River, both of which lie within the Piedmont Region. Their drought flows are affected by the operation of mm dams and small storage reservoirs. The Tallapoosa River joins the Coosa River in Alabama to form the Alabama River.
The Tennessee River system in Georgia includes a number of tributaries in the Mountain Region. The upper portions are not regulated but near the T ennessee and North Carolina boundaries each of the principal rivers has a large storage and power reservoir that regulates its flow. The Tennessee River tributaries in the Valley R egion have minor regulation from gristmills.
FACTORS AFFECTING DROUGHT FLOW
The flow of a stream is derived from the rain that falls on its drainage basin. Part of the rain that falls on an area is evaporated or is transpired into the air by vegetation and does not appear as streamflow. Thus, streamflow is the residual of rainfall after these natural demands have been satisfied. When these natural losses are high, as they are in the summer, and rainfall is relatively low, as in a drought, the residual of rainfall available for streamflow may be very small.
The relationship between rainfall and streamflow is complicated by the irregularities of natural factors such as rainfall, consumption by vegetation, temperatures and evaporation rates, land characteristics, and, of man-made factors such as storage, diversions, and power plant operations.

Withlacoochee River system, and the O chlockonee River all lie within the lower Coastal Plain and have no regulation within Georgia.
The Chattahoochee River is the longes t river in Georgia436 miles from its source in Union County to the Florida line. There is little regulation of the headwater streams in the Mountain Region and tributaries in the Piedmont R egion. A power plant on the Soque River at Habersham Mills affects the drought flow of the main stem as far downstream as West Point. Power dams regulate the flow below West Point.

A deficien cy of rainfall is the basic cause of drought. The effect on streamflow varies. Very light rain merely wets the ground surface and soon evaporates. It does not replenish soil moisture or benefit streamflow. Steady "soaking" rains replenish soil moisture but do not produce much runoff until the soi l becomes saturated. Intense rains of the thunderstorm variety may produce flashy runoff without great benefit to soil moisture or " lasting" benefits to the streams. During periods of deficient rainfall, soil moisture is abnormally

The Flint River system begins in the Piedmont of Georgia and has no regulation until it is well into the upper Coastal Plain. Below the Fall Line this river lies entirely within the upper Coastal Plain and in dry seasons receives enormous quantities of flow from ground water seepage and springs. The flow is regulated below low-head power plants near Cordele and at Albany.

The Coosa River system in Georgia consists of a number of major branches that rise in the Mountain R egion. The main stem is the Cartecay River which becomes the Coosawattee River and then is joined by the Conasauga River in the Valley Region to form the Oostanaula River. The Etowah River also rises in the mountains and flows down through the Piedmont and Valley R egions to join with the Oostanaula River at Rome to form the Coosa R iver. The

low and much or all of the rain is absorbed by the ground, leaving little or no water to reach the streams.
The diagrams of the average and 1954 monthly rainfall and runoff in figure 7 show typical conditions in Georgia. The Waycross rainfall and the Satilla River runoff are typical of southeastern Georgia. The rainfall and runoff as shown are not strictly comparable because the rainfall is that for only one spot in the drainage basin whereas the runoff is the result of the rainfall over the entire drainage basin. The runoff of the Chattahoochee River at Atlanta during the drought came mostly from the MC!untqin Region.

Vegetative Seasons

The vegetative seasons have a major effect on streamflow. The growing season lasts from April to October in northern Georgia and from March to November in southern Georgia. During the growing season vegetation requires much moisture, which it extracts from the soil through the root systems and transpires into the atmosphere through the foliage. As a result, the soil tends to dry rapidly and rainfall is largely

absorbed in the replenishment of soil moisture. Only a small part of the water finds its way to the streams as overland runoff or seepage through the ground.

During the dormant season, from October or November until March or April, the soil moisture is not absorbed by root systems in as great quantities as during the growing season. Once the soil moisture is restored in autumn, the rains tend to maintain a saturated condition of the soil. A larger portion of the rain water flows overland into the streams, causing floods and high water. Also, a larger portion percolates downward to the water table. This causes the high sustained flow of the streams between freshets during the dormant season of winter and early spring.

Temperature and Evaporation
The hot summer temperatures in Georgia, particularly in southern Georgia, cause very high evaporation losses from water surfaces and transpiration losses from foliage. Evapo-

ration losses and vegetative consumption are generally treated together as "evapotranspiration losses". These losses are greater in summer than they are in winter and are greater by day than they are by night, resulting in diurnal fluctuations of the flow of small streams during the growing season. Figure 8 shows typical diurnal fluctuations of small streams. High evapotranspiration losses rapidly deplete any surplus of soil moisture or shallow ground-water storage that might otherwise have been available for streamflow in the spring. These influences are of great significance in the occurrence of surface water resources. Without summer rainfall, the streamflow in Georgia diminishes continually through the summer to become exceptionally low in the fall months.
Periods of intense heat during droughts appear to cause an accelerated diminishing of the streamflow. This is caused in part by the "higher evapotranspiration losses. It may also be a result of increased rates of diversion of water from the streams for irrigation and other consumptive purposes. Natural and man-made decreases of streamflow during heat waves are generally indistinguishable on gaging station records.
Land Characteristics
The streamflow records in Georgia show marked differences in the several regions already described that can be attributed to the predominant land characteristics of the regions. The regional runoff characteristics are apparent not only in the storm runoff but they are particularly evident in the sustained flow periods between storms. Those differences may be studied on the hydrographs shown on pages 20 to 48.
The effects of the land on streamflow are particularly significant during the periods of extreme drought. Correct interpretation of the data in this report depends to a large extent upon recognition of the varied characteristics among the five regions of the State.
Storage
The effect of storage reservoirs on streamflow depends on the relative magnitudes of the reservoir and the flow and on the reservoir operation. Usually the operation of a reservoir involves the storing of surplus water during periods of floods or excess flows and the release of that water during dry periods. Most large reservoirs are carefully operated according to a definite plan, tending to make the flow uniform throughout the year. A relatively small reservoir that is not regulated, such as the usual farm pond, has little effect on the flow of a stream below it. A relatively large reservoir that is not regulated may reduce the "flashy" nature of storm runoff. It may reduce the dry season flow by the evaporation from its surface and by transpiration from vegetation on its banks. It may increase the dry season flow if it has an outlet that would release stored water during a dry period. A regulated storage reservoir, on the other hand, may have a dominant effect on the flow of the stream below it, particularly during droughts.
During severe droughts emergency storage reservoirs made by temporary dams may cause sharp decreases of streamflow below them.
Diversions
Water is diverted from many streams in Georgia by cities and industries. Usually the water is returned to the streams in essentially the same quantity.
In the vicinity of Atlanta large quantities of water from the Chattahoochee River are diverted for municipal water

10

works systems. The DeKalb County water system diverted approximately 36 cfs (see page 12 for definition of the term cfs) and the Atlanta system 124 cfs during the drought, of which only 70 cfs was returned to the Chattahoochee River. Of the remainder, about 48 cfs was consumed through evaporation, irrigation of lawns, and other unsewered water uses. About 40 cfs was diverted through sewage treatment plants into the tributaries of South River in the Altamaha River system and about 2 cfs was diverted into the Flint
River system.
At Griffin, approximately 6 cfs of the flow of 'Flint River, which includes that diverted from the Chattahoochee River, is pumped into the water system above the gaging station. Much of the water diverted to the municipal water system does not return to the Flint River but drains into tributaries of the Altamaha River system.
Diversions for irrigation are generally consumed by evapotranspiration and are not returned to the streams. Generally, irrigation diversions in Georgia are negligible, but in severe droughts they may greatly diminish the flow of small streams. They may be particularly noticeable during heat waves.

the low levels that were recorded on other streams in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions.
The detailed effects of the 1954 drought on Georgia streams are shown in the gaging station records that follow .
AVAILABLE DROUGHT RECORDS
One hundred and eight complete-record gaging stations were in operation in Georgia during the drought of 1954. The minimum flows recorded at 105 of those stations are listed in table 1.
Significance of the Minimum Flow
The minimum flow of a stream is perhaps its most important drought statistic. If the period of record includes an extreme drought such as that of 1954, or 1925, the minimum flow is often assumed to be the amount that is always

Power Plant Operations

Power plant operations at large dams usually involve the storage operations already described that tend to equalize the flow over the year. Both large and small power plants also tend to have a daily or weekly pattern of operation that makes the streamflow below them irregular. It is customary to operate water power plants for only parts of the day and to keep them idle at other times. Large flows arc released during operation and little or no flow at other times. Larger power plants operate on regular daily schedules, often only during five days a week, and sometimes for only a few hours a day.

Power plant operations result in a wide variation of flow in the streams below the dams each weekday. Generally water is stored during weekends, causing periods of low flow. During droughts the effect of power plant operation is particularly prominent.
DROUGHT CONDITIONS IN 1954

Fig. 9. Oconee River at Milledge ville. The flow is about 90 cfs, the natural minimum in the 1925 drought and the regulated minimum in the 1954 drought.

Rainfall in Georgia was deficient in 1954 by amounts that exceeded 15 inches in most of the State. During September heavy rains accompanying a hurricane brought temporary relief in areas near the Atlantic Coast.
Streamflows in southern Georgia were below normal from February through December. Most of the gaging stations recorded record low flows during September, October, and early November. A slight recovery had set in by the end of November.
In the Piedmont Region, the flow began to drop below normal by July. Record low flows were recorded at most gaging stations in September and early O ctober. A definite recovery set in at the end of the growing season in midOctober without appreciable rainfall. The streams had not returned to normal flows by the end of November.
In ~h~ Mountain and Valley R egions the drought pattern was S1m1lar to that in the Piedmont R egion but the flows were not as low in proportion to normal flows or to previous droughts.
h The major rivers that head in the Mountain R egion, or t at were regulated by major storage reservoirs, did not reach

available for use- at least for the length of time represented by the period of record.
It is customary in Georgia for engineers to design municipal and industrial water supplies and waste disposal systems on the basis of the minimum flow of record . If by chance a lesser flow than the minimum of record should occur, as it did on many streams in the 1954 drought, there may be serious consequences. Some communities may have to curtail the use of water severely or turn to emergency supplies from other sources. Industries may have to shut down a ltogether .
Important water rights may be based on the minimum flow of record. Under the F ederal Power Commission License, for example, the power company is required to release at leas t 90 cfs from Sinclair Dam on the O conee River at all times-that amount being equal to the 1925 minimum flow at the Milledgeville gaging station.
It is possible that future water rights in Georgia, governing municipal and industrial water supplies and waste disposal, the use of streams for irrigation, and the building of irrigation ponds, will be based on the minimum flows during the 1954 drought that are given in this report.

11

Great care has been taken in this report to distinguish between "minimum" and "minimum daily" flow. This is necessary because, despite the fact that the flow during the day may vary, practical considerations limit the publication of most streamflow data to mean daily amounts. Generally, it is only on the day of the minimum flow that the instantaneous minimum has any practical significance. However, as will be explained later, the variation during the day of streams having very small flows may be highly significant during droughts.

Minimum flow is the momentary or instantaneous minimum flow known at a site as opposed to the average or mean flow for a period of time. It is usually qualified, as "the 1954 minimum", or "the minimum of record" for a specified period of years. The minimum flow is given in table 1 and in the station descriptions for the index gaging stations on pages 14 and 16 unless it is qualified in the footnotes.
Minimum daily flow (technically the minimum mean daily flow) is the lowest known average or mean flow for the day as opposed to the instantaneous minimum flow during the day. The minimum daily flow is given in table 2. It is given in the station description for the index gaging stations on page 19 if it differs materially from the minimum flow. The daily flow is plotted on the hydrographs of the index gaging stations. Thus the lowest point on a hydrograph is the minimum daily flow and not the instantaneous minimum flow.

Definition of Terms
This report generally gives streamflow in cubic feet per second (cfs). This unit of flow is most commonly used by engineers concerned with major river developments such as storage reservoirs, hydroelectric power, navigation, and irrigation projects. It expresses a rate of flow. Specialized workers in the water resources field frequently use other terms for rate of flow. Small pumps are rated in gallons per minute (gpm). City water works are rated in million gallons per day (mgd ) . Irrigation works are rated in acreinches or acre-feet for various time periods. For the convenience of the reader, the hydrographs on pages 20 to 48 are given in both cubic feet per second and million gallons per day.
Cubic foot per second (cfs ) is the rate of flow (discharge) of a stream whose channel is 1 square foot in cross-sectional area and whose average velocity is 1 foot per second. For practical purposes a cubic foot per second may be taken to equal 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 data.
Cubic feet per second per square mile (cfsm ) is the average number of cubic feet of water per second flowing from each square mile of area drained, assuming that the runoff is distributed evenly in time and area.
Runoff in inches is the depth to which an area would be covered if all the water draining from it in a given period were uniformly distributed on its surface. The term is used to compare runoff with rainfall, which is also usually expressed in inches.
Acre-foot is the volume of water required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot and is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet. The term is commonly used in relation to storage for irrigation.

The depths are measured on the rod in the engineer's hand. The current meter measures the velocity of the water. Th e flow is computed from 20 or more observations of the depth and velocity across the channel.

Fig. 13. A portable weir used to measure the flow of a very small stream. The weir has a sharp-edged notch through which the water flows. By measuring the depth of water in the notch , as shown, an accurate measurement of small flows can be obtained.
The drainage area of a stream at a specified location is that area, measured in a horizontal plane, which is so enclosed by a topographic divide that direct surface runoff from precipitation normally would drain by gravity into the river above the specified point. Figures of drainage area given herein include all closed basins, or non-contributing areas, within the area unless otherwise noted. When the drainage area has been omitted as in table 3, it is generally because the area has not yet been d etermined.

Explanation of Data

The base data collected at continuous-record gaging stations consist of records of stage, or water level, and measurements of flow. The records of stage are obtained either from direct readings on a non-recording gage by a local observer or from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous record of water-level fluctuations. Measurements of flow are made with a current meter or a portable weir by the general methods adopted by the Geological Survey on the basis of experience in stream gaging since 1888. These methods are described in Water-Supply Paper 888 and m standard textbooks on the measurement of streamflow.
The first column of table 1 shows the map number of each site, in downstream order, for easy identification of the site on the location map. Inserts are shown on the location map for a few areas where the sites were too numerous to be indicated clearly.
The name of the gaging station in the second column includes the name of the stream and the name of the nearest place that can be readily identified. The location of the index stations may be found on pages 14 to 16.
The third column shows the period for which records are available at each gaging station. In general, the low-flow data are available in the annual Water-Supply Papers of the U . S. Geological Survey for all of the years shown. It will be ~oted that there are few gaging station records available durmg the severe drought year of 1925.
.The drainage area in the fourth column is given in square m1les. As a rule the drainage areas are accurate for areas greater than 10 square miles. The accuracy for smaller areas depends on the accuracy of the maps available.

Fig. 14. Suwanee River at Fargo showing a ditch cut through a sa nd bar to drain a pool in the river channel. 0 perations such as these greatly alter the natural flow of streams during droughts.
The drainage areas are not necessarily as significant with very low drought flows as they are with more normal flows . During the drought farm ponds withheld water or cities and irrigation pumps diverted water from the streams in parts of the drainage area. As a result, only parts of the drainage areas contributed to the low flow. Therefore, flows of small streams may not be proportional to their drainage areas.
The average flow is given in the fifth column if the period of record exceeds five years. These averages are not strictly comparable because they are not for a common p eriod of years.
The minimum of record in the sixth and seventh columns shows the flow and the date of its occurrence.
The minimum flow during 1954 is shown in the last two columns with the month and day of its occurrence. Footnotes call attention to regulation, diversions, and other factors.

COMPARISON OF 1954 DROUGHT WITH OTHER DROUGHTS
The relative severity of the 1954 drought may be judged, in part, by comparison of its minimum daily flow with those recorded in other years. An extensive summary of this nature has not been attempted for this part of the report, but table 2 has been prepared to show comparable annual minimum daily flows for five representative gaging stations.

The data in table 2 for Chattahoochee River at West Point are shown graphically in figure 15. The data for four of the stations have been used to prepare figure 16 showing the frequency of the annual minimum daily flows. These data show a recurrence interval of the 1954 minimum daily flow ranging from 13 to 30 years and a magnitude ranging from 36 to 82 percent of the 5-year frequency minimum daily flow.

RECURRENCE INTERVAL, IN YEARS

Fig. 16. Frequency of annual minimum daily flows. This shows the relative . frequency and magnitude for drought years rarer than a 5-year recurrence interval. The data in Table II were used to prepare this figure omitting the Toccoa River data for clarity. The frequency,

or recurrence interval, is based on the period of record at each gaging station so that the graphs are not strictly comparable. This is particu-
larly true of the Alapaha River graph because it does not include the 1925 drought.

HYDROGRAPHS OF THE 1954 DROUGHT FLOWS
The hydrographs of flow at the index gaging stations are shown on pages 20 to 48. These hydrographs are the dayby-day plotting of the daily mean flow at the gaging stations. The hydrographs are plotted to a logarithmic flow scale to show a wide range of flow values to a significant scale. Also, the logarithmic scale is proportional; that is, a relative percentage change is shown by th'e same vertical intercept anywhere on the chart. That fact can be used to great advantage in the analysis of streamflow records.
The hydrographs are shown only for the index gaging stations. Index gaging stations are those on streams that drain

relatively small drainage areas lying mostly within one physiographic region and that are not appreciably affected by regulation. The hydrographs show the daily mean flows during the period June 1 to November 30. This period includes all of the recorded minimum flows in Georgia during the 1954 drought. Because very low rates of flow are not reliable for use in quantitative comparisons, hydrographs of flow at the index stations are not plotted for periods when the rates of flow were below 0.1 cubic foot per second.
The average monthly flows are shown on each hydrograph by horizontal lines to indicate the relative severity of the drought flow. The amounts shown are the average for the period of years given in item 3 of the station description.

MEASUREMENTS AT PARTIAL-RECORD GAGING streaT?s, caused by the. factors that influence drought flows,

STATIONS AND METHODS OF USE

may mtroduce errors m the above computations. 'For ex-

The U. S. Geological Survey made 1,136 low-water flow rneasurements, including observations of no flow, on small streams in Georgia during the 1954 drought at 987 sites where no continuous records of stage or flow are collected. At many of these sites one or more low-flow measurements are made each year during periods when the flow is not affected by surface runoff from showers. The sites are called partial-record gaging stations.

ample, there may be different amounts of surface runoff from showers at either the index station or the partial-record station. Comparisons for days on which there were variable amounts of surface runoff would give erratic results. As a rule, the measurements at the partial-record sites were not made under those conditions. A measurement including local surface runoff may have been made because the engineer was not aware of local showers in the drainage basin.

Table 3 shows the flows measured, the dates and time of day of the measurements, the map location number, the drainage areas, and a brief location of the site. Very low rates of flow reported in table 3 are rounded to the nearest 0.01 cfs. Rates of flow between 0.005 and 0 cfs are indicated
by footnotes.

Errors may also occur because of regulation from the operation of gristmills or irrigation pumps which may have caused variations of flow during the day at the partial-record site. The engineer who made the measurement would have no way of knowing that regulation was present without having a continuous water-stage recorder at the site.

By means of these annual low-flow measurements and the records at nearby index gaging stations, reasonably reliable rninimum flow characteristics may be computed for the partial-record sites by the flow-ratio method described below, which should be fairly reliable in most cases because the 1954 measurements were made at times when the flow was near the minimum.

Errors may result from the natural variation of flow of small streams caused by daily evapotranspiration fluctuations. (See Fig. 8 on page 10). This results in considerable fluctuation in the flow of most small streams. Generally (but not always) the flow is greater in the morning than it is in the late afternoon. Because of that fluctuation, the times that measurements were made are listed in table 3. The diurnal effect of evapotranspiration is more noticeable on small

streams than on large ones. The percentage error from this Computation of Minimum Flow at Partial-Record Stations natural daily fluctuation may be very great on streams that

minimum daily flow determined for one or more other sites in the vicinity.

Similar results can be obtained graphically. For example, assume that the minimum flow at site 212, Stone Mountain Creek in DeKalb County, is desired. From the location map, select the index gaging station on Yellow River for comparison purposes. It is the nearest index station on a stream draining an area in the same region as Stone Mountain Creek. The data for that station are shown on page 58 and the hydrograph is reproduced on the opposite page in figure
17.

To make that test, select, from table 3, nearby sites that are in the same region and that have about the same size drainage area. Compute the minimum daily flow for them in the manner that is described above. Divide each computed flow by the drainage area for its site, from table 3, to obtain the flow in cubic feet per second per square mile. If those amounts are similar, all of them are probably reliable. If, however, there are serious discrepancies among them, the computed results should be used with caution. The compu-

The Minimum Daily Flow of Unmeasured Streams
To estimate the minimum daily flow of a stream where no measurement is available, the reader will need to rely on the drainage area ratio method, which must be used with great caution because the possible errors are very great. To use this method, plot the location of the selected site on the

the partial-record stations in the vicinity by the flow-ratio method described above, selecting those that are similar in ~ize of drainage area and in the same region. For each of these, compute the minimum daily flow per square mile of drainage area. If these amounts are similar, select the smallest and multiply it by the drainage area of the ungaged site to compute its minimum daily flow. The reader should be conservative when he estimates streamflows and use the
smallest of possible amounts.

nent to the interpretation and use of these data but they are supplemental to the streamflow data rather than a substitute for tht;m. The streamflow data are factual. That is, the flows actually occurred when, and in the amounts, shown. These measured data are infinitely more reliable than any estimates derived from rainfall-runoff relationships or other
indirect methods. Moreover, any application of these data
to other unmeasured sites-when properly done-will be
more reliable than estimates based on rainfall or general runoff values.

Factors Affecting the Minimum Daily Flow Per Square Mile
The minimum daily flow per square mile within a region may vary naturally with two important factors. One of these is the location in the region and the other is the SIZe of drainage area.
Variation with location is most easily discernible in the Piedmont Region. In general, the minimum daily flow per square mile is least along the Fall Line and tends to increase toward the Mountain Region. The map on figure 18 shows the variations of the minimum daily flows of the index stations over the State.
Variation with size of drainage area may be studied by plotting the minimum flow per square mile of drainage area of several partial-record stations against the drainage area. Both larger and smaller drainage areas than that of the stream in question should be examined. A study of the variation of minimum flow with size of drainage area may indicate a need to adjust the flow computed for a given site.
The Minimwn Flow of Regulated Streams
The minimum flow of a regulated stream may be influenced more by man-made variations than by natural climatic and physical factors. For example, the flow below a gristmill or a larger power dam may be shut off altogether for parts of a day even though the average flow for that day may be considerably above the natural daily flow. A flood-control reservoir that is operated so that no flow is released while floods are occurring in that region may, in turn, release large flows during a drought period.
Gaging station records on regulated streams in Georgia show an almost infinite number of irregular flow patterns during periods of low flow. Those records can sometimes be related to each other on the same river but they cannot be related satisfactorily to the flow of unregulated streams. For that reason, hydrographs for regulated streams have not been included in this report.
EVALUATION
The streamflow data presented in this report constitute a presentation of the streamflow facts recorded by the U. S. Geological Survey during the drought of 1954 in Georgia.
Rainfall, temperature, and perhaps other data are perti-

There are, however, certain limitations in the interpretation of the streamflow data that dictate a need for caution and the use of judgment on the part of the reader. Not that he should question the data, which are measured facts, but rather that he must judge the applicability of the data to a particular problem. There may be irregularities in the flow of a stream--either one which has been measured or one for which the reader desires to compute a minimum flow. If the reader suspects that such irregularities are present, he should not make arbitrary adjustments or discard the measured data altogether. Rather, he should identify the magnitude of the irregularities and make appropriate adjustments to the basic data in his computations. Only by so doing can he preserve the basis of factual reliability provided by the streamflow data.
Qualified consulting engineers supplement the streamflow information supplied by the Geological Survey with local examination of the sites involved. Only after satisfying themselves of the magnitude of possible irregularities do qualified engineers apply these data to the specific sites where they are to be used. These data, factual as they are, are nevertheless used with the considered judgment of the skilled hydrologist or consulting engineer.
The reader is advised to use this information discreetly and to obtain the services of competent consulting engineers on problems of economic importance.
The drought data in this report have permanent value for use during future droughts. By having these 1954 hydrographs at numerous index gaging stations in Georgia, the future operators of water works, sewage disposal plants, factories, irrigation systems, and the like, can be prepared to combat future droughts in a way that could not be done in 1954. The hydrographs provide factual precedents by which future drought emergencies may be gaged and preventive measures taken, early enough, to reduce and perhaps eliminate damage due to low streamflow.
Streamflow information computed for partial!tecord gaging stations or estimated for ungaged sites lacks the completeness, accuracy, and reliability of information recorded at the con tinuous record gaging stations. Such information does, how ever, greatly extend the usefulness of the continuous station records. It also provides a means of evaluating the adequacy of the existing gaging station network and is a basis for modifying that network to secure the best statewide investi gation of surface water resources.
