Seaton, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Thomas B. Nolan, Director GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CIRCULAR 382 INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS TO SEPTEMBER 30,1955 PART 2. SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS By P. R. Speer and A. B. Goodwin Washington, D. C., 1956 Free on application to the Geological Survey, Washington 25, D. C. INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS TO SEPTEMBER 30,1955 PAET 2. SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS By P. R Speer and A. B. Goodwin EXPLANATION This index lists the streamflow and reservoir stations in the South Atlantic slope and Eastern Gulf of Mexico basins for which records have been or are to be published in reports of the Geological Survey for periods prior to September 30, 1955. Periods of record for the same station published by other agencies are listed only when they contain more detailed information or are for periods not reported in publications of the Geological Survey. The stations are listed in the downstream order first adopted for use in the 1951 series of water-supply papers on surface-water supply of the United States. Starting at the headwater of each stream all stations are listed in a downstream direction. Tributary streams are indicated by indention and are inserted between main-stem stations in the order in which they enter the main stream. To indicate the rank of any tributary on which a record is available and the stream to which it is immediately tributary, each indention in the listing of stations represents one rank.

    St. Lucie and Indian River Counties Water Resources Study

    St. Lucie and Indian River Counties Water Resources Study Final Summary Report November 2009 Prepared for: South Florida Water Management District St. Johns River Water Management District St Lucie and Indian River Counties Water Resource Study St Lucie and Indian River Counties Water Resources Study Executive Summary Study Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential for capturing excess water that is currently being discharged to the Indian River Lagoon in northern St. Lucie County and southern Indian River County and making it available for beneficial uses. The study also evaluated the reconnection of the C-25 Basin in the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and C-52 in the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) so that available water supplies could be conveyed to meet demands across jurisdictional boundaries. The study objectives were to: Identify the quantity and timing of water available for diversion and storage; Identify water quality information needed to size water quality improvement facilities; Identify and provide cost estimates for the improvements and modifications to the existing conveyance systems necessary for excess runoff diversion and storage; Identify, develop cost estimates, and evaluate conceptual alternatives for storing excess runoff, and Provide conceptual designs and cost estimates for the highest ranked alternative in support of feasibility analysis and a future Basis of Design Report. Study Process The study process consisted of the following activities: Data compilation and analysis, Identification of alternative plans, Evaluation of alternative plans, Identification of the preferred plan, and Development of an implementation strategy. St Lucie and Indian River Counties Water Resource Study Formal stakeholder meetings were conducted throughout the study.
  • 1.1 the Importance of Urban Wetlands

    1.1 the Importance of Urban Wetlands

    People, Politics 1 and Wetlands Chapter 1.1 — The importance of urban wetlands • 2 1.1 The importance of urban wetlands Teresa Mackintosh and Prof Jenny Davis School of Biological Sciences and CRC for Water Sensitive Cities Monash University Australia Abstract Wetlands are important ecosystems globally, however, despite being one of the most productive habitats on Earth they are under threat from urbanisation. With over 50% of the world’s population living in cities, draining and infill of wetlands to provide land for residential housing and urban infrastructure is one of the largest causes of wetland loss. Those wetlands that do remain usually function differently to non-urban wetlands due to changes in hydrology, habitat degradation, pollution and the impacts of exotic and invasive species. Urban wetlands often become more important for human-related values than non-urban wetlands. They provide multiple ecosystem services including removing contaminants from wastewater, flood control, biodiversity support, microclimate modification, carbon sequestration, aesthetic amenity and recreational spaces. Wetlands constructed for remediation of urban stormwater are designed to mimic the processes which occur in natural wetlands. Wetlands constructed on stream networks can intercept stormwater runoff and prevent contaminants from reaching downstream surface waters, including estuaries and near-shore marine regions. As these systems are designed to act like natural wetlands they have the added benefit of providing a habitat for wildlife. The magnitude of wetland loss means that these wetlands are often the only systems supporting wildlife in urban environments. Urban wetlands containing permanent water can provide important refugia for many species during dry periods and droughts.

This report was prepared by Messrs. D. W. Brown, W. E. Kenner, J. W. Crooks, and J. B. Foster, of the U. S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District; U. S. Army, Corps of Engineers; and the Florida Geological Survey. This is a very timely study, since the development of adequate supplies of fresh water and the prevention and alleviation of flooding are the principal water problems in Brevard County. The rapid expansion of popu- lation and the development of new industries associated with the space effort have made large demands for increased supplies of fresh water, particularly in the Atlantic Coastal Ridge area on Merritt Island and in the barrier beach area.

Marsh cores displayed similar stratigraphies with respect to physical properties and nutrient content. Wetland sediments typically contained > 900 mg organic matter (OM) g–1 dry mass, > 500 mg C g–1, and 30–40 mg N g–1. OM, C, and N concentrations were slightly lower in uppermost sediments of most cores, but displayed no strong stratigraphic trends. Total P concentrations were relatively low in bottommost deposits (0.01– 0.11 mg g–1), but ranged from 0.38–2.67 mg g–1 in surface sediments. The mean sediment accretion rate in the marsh since ~ 1900, 0.33 ± 0.05 cm yr–1, was calculated from ten 210Pb-dated cores. All sites displayed increases in accu- mulation rates of bulk sediment, C, N, and P since the early part of the 20th century.
