Low-flow frequency is expressed as the average interval, in years, between recurrence of an annual minimum flow less than that shown by the magnitude scale. The low-flow frequency relation is commonly presented as a family of curves with a separate curve for each number of consecutive days. Partial-record site.--A location on a stream, canal, lake or reservoir where limited streamflow data, usually consisting of streamflow measurements, are collected over a period of years for use in hydrologic analysis. Regulation. The artificial manipulation of the flow of a stream, such as, by the operation of reservoirs, cranberry bogs, or artificial lakes. Recurrence interval. The time interval, in years, within which a given hydrologic event will, on the average, be less or more than a given value one time. It is the reciprocal of the probability that the given hydrologic event will not be exceeded or will be exceeded in any one year. For example, a 20-year low-flow is one that has a 5 percent chance of not being exceeded in any one year. Water year. The 12-month period, October 1 through September 30, designated by the calendar year in which it ends. GLOSSARY Some hydrologic and statistical terms and concepts defined in the context in which they are used in this report are listed below: Climatic year. The 12-month period beginning April 1 of the year indicated. This period is used because it splits the usual high-water period of the year and allows the low-water season to occur entirely in 1 year. Cubic foot per second (ft 3 /s or cu ft/s) . The rate of discharge equivalentto a stream whose channel is 1 square foot in cross-sectional area and whose average velocity is 1 foot per second. Diversion. The taking of water from a stream or other body of water upstream from the gaging station into a canal, pipe, or other conduit. Drainage area. Computed at specified locations, it is that area, measured in a horizontal plane, which is so enclosed by a topographic divide that direct surface water from precipitation normally would drain by gravity into the stream above the specified point. Flow, natural. The flow of a stream as it occurs under natural conditions; that is, not subjected to any regulation or diversions. Flow__, regulated. The flow of a stream that has been subjected to any artificial or man-made storage, augmentation or diversions. Flow-duration curve. A cumulative-frequency curve that shows the percentage of time that specified discharges are exceeded. The flow-duration curve is based on the total period of record, but the chronologic sequence of flows is omitted from consideration in the preparation of the curve. Therefore, it is impossible to tell from the flow-duration curve alone whether varying periods of low flow all occurred during one drought period or were scattered over a number of years. The flow-duration curve is, however, useful for studying the flow characteristics of a stream over its entire range of discharge. Gaging station. A site on a stream, canal, lake or reservoir where systematic observations of gage height or discharge are obtained. VII FACTORS FOR CONVERTING INCH-POUND UNITS TO METRIC (SI) UNITS For those readers who may prefer to use metric units rather than inch-pound units, the conversion factors for the terms used in this report are listed below: Multiply inch-pound unit By To obtain metric units cubic foot per second 0.02832 cubic meter per second (ft 3 /s or cu ft/s) (mVs or cu m/s) cubic foot per second per 0.01093 cubic meter per second square mile per square kilometer (ftVs)/mi 2 or (m 3 /s)/km 2 or cu ft/s/sq mi cu m/s/sq km foot (ft) 0.3048 meter (m) mile (mi) 1.609 kilometer (km) square mile (mi 2 or 2.590 square kilometer (km2 sq mi) or sq km) "LOW-FLOW CHARACTERISTICS AND FLOW DURATION OF NEW JERSEY STREAMS By Brian D. Gillespie and Robert D. Schopp ABSTRACT Low-flow frequency and flow-duration data for 400 contin­ uous-record and partial-record gaging stations in New Jersey are tabulated in this report. The amount of data analyzed at each site varies from the complete daily discharge record for the con­ tinuous-record gaging stations, some of which have been in opera­ tion for over 50 years, to limited discharge measurements for partial-record sites. Daily discharges through 1975 for continuous-record sta­ tions with 7 or more years of record were analyzed by digital computer. From these computer summaries, low-flow frequency tables for all gaging stations on unregulated streams with 10 or more years of record were tabulated. Flow-duration tables were also compiled for streams with at least 7 years of streamflow record. For continuous-record gaging stations with less than 10 years of record, for highly regulated streams, and for partial- record sites, only observed or estimated annual minimum mean discharges for 7 consecutive days with recurrence intervals of 2 and 10 years are given. INTRODUCTION As the population increases, more water is needed for homes, industry, sanitation, irrigation, and recreation. Planning for present or future water supply needs requires information on the magnitude and frequency of available streamflow. This infor­ mation is often supplied by low-flow frequency and flow-duration data. This report presents low-flow frequency and

The proposal recommended the transfer of existing and future sewage flows from Regional Growth Areas located in the three Atlantic Basin municipalities to the Delaware Basin. Information which was subsequently provided to the Commission by the Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority (CCMUA) indi­ cated that the ultimate design flow for this interbasin transfer was 3.6 million gallons per day and 2.75 million gallons per day from the Mullica River Basin and Great Egg Harbor River Basin, respectively.

Box 7 New Lisbon, NJ 08064 INTRODUCTION New Jersey Public Law 2001, Chapter 165 directs the Pinelands Commission to assess and prepare a report on the key hydrologic and ecological information needed to determine how the current and future water-supply needs within the Pinelands area may be met while protecting the Kirkwood- Cohansey aquifer system and avoiding any adverse ecological impact on the Pinelands area. The aquifer assessment is to be implemented in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Rutgers University, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and the United States Geological Survey. The legislation appropriated $5,500,000 from the Water Supply Fund for the preparation of the assessment by the Pinelands Commission. Scientists from the cooperating agencies and institutions met periodically to design a draft work plan for the Kirkwood-Cohansey Project. The draft was reviewed by a panel of scientists with expertise in the areas of research addressed in the work plan.

    Section 3: County Profile SECTION 3. COUNTY PROFILE This profile describes the general information of the County (physical setting, population and demographics, general building stock, and land use and population trends) and critical facilities located within Morris County. In Section 3, specific profile information is presented and analyzed to develop an understanding of the study area, including the economic, structural, and population assets at risk and the particular concerns that may be present related to hazards analyzed (for example, a high percentage of vulnerable persons in an area). 2020 HMP Changes The “County Profile” is now located in Section 3; previously located in Section 4. It contains updated information regarding the County's physical setting, population and demographics and trends, general building stock, land use and trends, potential new development and critical facilities. This includes U.S. Census ACS 2017 data and additional information regarding the New Jersey Highlands Region in the Development Trends/Future Development subsection. Critical facilities identified as community lifelines using FEMA’s lifeline definition and seven categories were added to the inventory and described in this section. 3.1 GENERAL INFORMATION Morris County is one of the fastest growing counties in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut metropolitan region. It is located amid rolling hills, broad valleys, and lakes approximately 30 miles northwest of New York City. The County was created by an Act of the State Legislature on March 15, 1738, separating it from Hunterdon County. Morris County was named after Colonel Lewis Morris, then Governor of the Province of New Jersey (the area that now includes Morris, Sussex, and Warren Counties).
