The new definitive map of White Oak Lake

Description: A map of White Oak Lake was drawn from points on the shoreline established with the use of an electronic distance-measuring theodolite and a hand-held reflecting prism. Average water depths were determined along six transects. A planimeter was used to estimate the area of each section. The volume of each section was determined by multiplying the surface area by the average depth. The total area and volume of White Oak Lake were estimated to be 6.88 ha (17.0 acres) and 43,893 m{sup 3}(1,546,330 … more

Episodic response project: Wet deposition at watersheds in three regions of the eastern United States

Description: During the period from August 1988 to June 1990, wet-only sampling of precipitation was carried out at three Episodic Response Project sites and at one supplemental site. The three watershed sites are Moss Lake, Biscuit Brook, and Linn Run. The supplemental site was the MAP3S site at Pennsylvania State University that characterizes the central group of northern Appalachian streams. The site operators adhered by varying degrees to the sample collection protocol based on the daily sampling protoc… more

Functional requirements for Waste Area Grouping 6 Monitoring Station 3 upgrade

Description: The surface Waste Area Grouping (WAG)6 at ORNL may undergo many changes in the future as part of the closure activities. Changes in surface characteristics will cause changes in runoff characteristics of the MS 3 watershed. Appropriate assumptions are to be made in this project regarding the future surface conditions of the watershed. The extent to which the assumed surface conditions will affect the project objectives (defined in Section 1.0) is to be identified. The purpose of this FRD is to … more

A combined GIS-HEC procedure for floodplain analyses

Description: The Hydrologic Engineering Center's Flood-Hydrograph (HEC-1) and Water Surface Profile (HEC-2) models are routinely used to define floodplain elevations. Detailed topographic data are commonly available from graphic information systems (GIS). These disjointed technologies can be combined if the GIS system has a drainage recognition capability. A conceptual procedure is suggested for incorporating this feature into the GIS framework so that cross- sectional information can be extracted and expor… more

Hydrograph analysis in a fractured rock terrane near Oak Ridge, Tennessee

Description: A typical watershed near Oak Ridge, Tennessee, is underlain by a storm-flow zone, which approximately corresponds with the root zone of vegetation, and by a groundwater zone. Analysis of the streamflow hydrograph and water-level hydrographs during the nongrowing season shows that discharge from the storm-flow zone constitutes nearly all streamflow after the end of overland runoff but that discharge from the groundwater zone is dominant after about 8 to 10 d of recession. Simple equations that e… more

Remote sensing and hydrologic modeling of arid watersheds: A scale analysis

Description: The increasing availability of digital elevation data (DED) created from remotely sensed data has promoted the development of computer algorithms for the calculation of geomorphometric properties of the land surface. These include parameters that are tedious or impossible to do by hand, for example, stream properties by order and flow path mapping for every location within the drainage basin. Flow paths especially are critical for water routing in hydrologic models. These algorithms can be used… more

Field studies of streamflow generation using natural and injected tracers on Bickford and Walker Branch Watersheds

Description: Field studies of streamflow generation were undertaken on two forested watersheds, the West Road subcatchment of Bickford Watershed in central Massachusetts and the West Fork of Walker Branch Watershed in eastern Tennessee. A major component of the research was development of a two-stage methodology for the use of naturally-occurring {sup 222}Rn as a tracer. The first of the two stages was solving a mass-balance equation for {sup 222}Rn around a stream reach of interest in order to calculate Rn… more

Runoff and sediment yield model for predicting nuclide transport in watersheds using BIOTRAN

Description: The environmental risk simulation model BIOTRAN was interfaced with a series of new subroutines (RUNOFF, GEOFLX, EROSON, and AQUIFER) to predict the movement of nuclides, elements, and pertinent chemical compounds in association with sediments through lateral and channel flow of runoff water. In addition, the movement of water into and out of segmented portions of runoff channels was modeled to simulate the dynamics of moisture flow through specified aquifers within the watershed. The BIOTRAN s… more
