LOW-FLOW PROFILES OF THE UPPER OCMULGEE AND FLINT RIVERS IN GEORGIA

By R. F. Carter, E. H. Hopkins, and H. A. Perlman

ABSTRACT

This report provides low-flow information for use in evaluating the capacity of streams to supply withdrawals or to accept waste loads from potential new industries without exceeding the limits of State water-quality standards. The report is the first phase of a study of all stream basins north of the Fall Line in Georgia. It covers the Piedmont part of the Ocmulgee and Flint River basins.

The low-flow characteristic presented is the minimum average flow for 7 consecutive days with a 10-year recurrence interval. The data are presented graphically as low-flow profiles (low flow as a function of distance along a stream channel) and as drainage-area profiles (drainage area as a function of distance along a stream channel). Low-flow profiles were constructed by interpolation or extrapolation from points of known low-flow data. Low-flow profiles are included for all stream reaches where low-flow data of sufficient accuracy are available to justify computation of the profiles. Drainage-area profiles are included for all stream basins larger than 5 square miles.

Flow records were not adjusted for diversions or other factors that cause measured flows to represent other than natural flow conditions. Profiles for 7-day minimum flows are omitted for stream reaches where natural flow is known to be significantly altered.

INTRODUCTION

The Ocmulgee and Flint Rivers and their tributaries in the area from the headwaters south of Atlanta, Ga., to the Fall Line are heavily used for water supply and waste disposal . Tributary streams have relatively low yields during drought periods and low-flow characteristics have been only partly defined in previous studies.

This study was made to provide low-flow information for use in evaluating the capacity of these streams to supply withdrawals or to accept waste loads from potential new industries without exceeding the limits of State water- quality standards. The study was made by the U.S. Geological Survey as part of the cooperative water-resources program with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division.

The purpose of this report is to compile available data used to determine the minimum average flow for 7 consecutive days with a 10-year recurrence interval (7Q10), and to present "7010 flow profiles" for all stream reaches where sufficient data of acceptable accuracy are available. Techniques used to estimate the profiles also are presented in this report. The 7-day low flow will be less than the 7Q10 low flow at intervals averaging 10 years in length; or the probability is 10 percent that the 7-day low flow in any one year will be less than the 7-day, 10-year low flow.

AREA OF STUDY

This report comprises the first phase of a larger study covering all stream basins north of the Fall Line in Georgia. It includes the Ocmulgee River basin above the Macon gage (02213000), stream mile 198.0, and the Flint River basin above a site about 5 miles east of Reynolds, stream mile 209.1 (fig. 1). The basins of Tobesofkee, Echeconnee, and Patsiliga Creeks are included in their entirety, although parts of each basin lie below the Fall Line in the upper Coastal Plain.

For convenience in presentation, both major river basins were divided into subdivisions. Most subdivisions consist of a large tributary and its tributaries. The main stem of the Ocmulgee River below Jackson Lake dam and two tributaries to Jackson Lake also are one subdivision. The main stem of the Flint River is subdivided into two segments, one upstream from Line Creek, the other segment from Line Creek to the southern limit of the study area. The principal numbering system for these subdivisions is shown on the location map (fig. 1). The Ocmulgee River basin has 19 subdivisions numbered OP1 through OP19. The Flint River basin has 17 subdivisions numbered FP1 through FP17. Tributaries within these areas are identified by additional symbols. For example, a tributary to Yellow River in the subdivision numbered OP7 is numbered OP7F, and a tributary to that stream is numbered OP7F1. Identifying numbers for the subdivisions and the names of their respective drainages are given in the List of Tables and Profiles, in the section "Supplemental Data."

Stream Miles

Stream miles were measured by an electronic digitizer on county maps published by the Georgia Department of Transportation. Mileages are presented as distances above the mouth of each stream. Mileages on the main stem of the Ocmulgee and Flint Rivers and on a few other streams are based on data provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (1985).

Drainage Areas

Streamflows generally have a close relation to drainage area, especially on the same stream. Therefore a drainage-area profile (drainage area versus stream miles) is shown for all streams included in this report, even for streams where available data are insufficient for showing a flow profile. Drainage-area profiles are included for all streams in the study area having drainage areas of more than 5 mi?. So far as practicable, drainage-area data are based on previously published values. Supplemental drainage-area data were determined by approximate methods using an electronic digitizer and county maps published by the Georgia Department of Transportation. Time constraints did not allow use of 7 1/2-minute topographic quadrangles or rigid compliance with rules for accurate determination of drainage areas. Some additional drainage areas were determined by interpolation on short stream reaches where drainage-area increments were about proportional to increments of distance. Drainage areas determined by interpolation are identified by footnotes to the tables. Except for sites published in Carter (1959), drainage areas should be regarded as approximate.

FLOW DATA

Low-flow data for Georgia are available in several published reports: Thomson and others (1956), Carter and Gannon (1962), Thomson and Carter (1963), Carter and Putnam (1978), and Carter (1983A). In addition, a large number of "miscellaneous" measurements have been made during times of base flow (no storm runoff). The results of these measurements are available in published reports of the U.S. Geological Survey and were used as a basis for low-flow frequency estimates in response to requests for low-flow information at or near the sites of most of these measurements. These frequency estimates were made using methods described by Thomson and Carter (1963).

REVISION OF PUBLISHED LOW-FLOW DATA

Implementation of this study has provided an opportunity to compile and re-analyze a large amount of low-flow data. Much previously unpublished low-flow data are included in the tables and in the graphical profiles. Examination of previously published low-flow data revealed only one gage where revision of a previously published flow appeared to be warranted. For the gaging station 02212600, Falling Creek near Juliette, Ga., a 7Q10 figure of 0.6 ft^/s is shown in profile OP15. (See the section "Supplemental Data".) This value is revised from 0.25 ft^/s as shown in Carter and Putnam (1978) on the basis of the longer flow record now available.

FLOW EXTENSION

Low flows, especially those as severe as a 7-day, 10-year low flow, generally occur when drought conditions are prevalent over wide areas. At such times local streams, and major streams for considerable parts of their length, tend to have flows of about the same recurrence interval, and the flow rates of various streams have definite interrelations. Flow rates for ungaged reaches of streams may be estimated with some confidence from concurrent flows at gaged sites on the same stream. Increases in flow along the lengths of streams generally are in rough proportion to drainage-area increases with "step-ups" at point-inflow sources such as tributaries.

During base-flow periods, flow rates along a stream may be represented by flow profiles. To accomplish this, flows measured or estimated at various points along the stream are plotted against stream miles and these points are connected by a line to form a graph. This was the principal method of analysis used in preparing this report. An advantage of this method is that the graphic presentation permits easy detection of anomalies and the elimination of major errors.

For this report, flow data were extrapolated or interpolated from points of known 7Q10 using the following rules. Flows were extrapolated upstream on a drainage-area basis to a point having one-half the drainage area, and simi- larly extrapolated downstream to a point having 1 1/2 times the drainage area. If flow extrapolations from two adjacent points overlapped, then interpolation between the two points was done, also on a drainage-area basis, instead of extrapolation.

DIVERSIONS, RETURN FLOWS, AND REGULATION

Withdrawals from and returns to a stream that vary with time are diffi- cult to document completely and pose a problem in evaluating the flow rate equivalent to a given frequency of occurrence. In this study, flow records were not adjusted for diversions. The 7-day, 10-year minimum-flow profile was omitted if it was known that natural flow was significantly altered. For example, flow profiles are not shown for the South River, a tributary to Jackson Lake, or for the Flint River above the Griffin gage (02344500). Low flows at the Griffin gage were based on records obtained while the rate of diversion was relatively low, and so flow profiles are shown at and below that point. In some areas natural-flow 7Q10 profiles are shown for reference although flow conditions have been altered since basic field data were obtained. An example is in the Yellow River basin in Gwinnett County where much urbanization has occurred since low-flow data were observed in 1955 (Carter and Gannon, 1962).

On the Ocmulgee River, because of regulation at Jackson Lake, it is not feasible to use the assumptions employed in this report to interpolate 7Q10 flows from Jackson Lake to the Macon gage (02213000). Therefore, for this reach, only previously published 7Q10 flows are shown for the Jackson gage (02210500) and the Macon gage. Flow profiles are omitted on several other streams owing to regulation.

Accuracy

Low-flow profiles based on data from continuous-record gaging stations or from partial-record gaging stations having six or more base-flow measurements are likely to be the most accurate of those included here. Profiles based on these data are shown as a solid line and the accuracy is rated good. They are considered to have a standard error of estimate of about 30 percent. For the purpose of this report, no distinction is made between data from complete- record gaging stations and data from six or more base-flow measurements, although it is likely that data based on complete-record gaging stations are the most reliable.

Profiles based on data for sites having three to five base-flow measurements are shown as dashed lines and the accuracy is rated fair. They are considered to have a standard error of estimate of about 50 percent.

Profiles based on only one or two base-flow measurements are considered to be the least reliable, are shown as dotted lines, and the accuracy is rated poor. Their standard error of estimate may exceed 50 percent.

Estimates of the magnitude of probable errors as given here are based on work by several investigators including Hardison and Moss (1972) and Stedinger and Thomas (1985).

Streamflow data also are subject to what is known as time-sampling error, which depends on whether flow data were observed during a period of above- average or below-average base-flow conditions. The average standard errors of estimate due to time-sampling errors can be computed by methods described by Hardison (1969).

USE OF THE PROFILES

The profiles have other uses in addition to providing 7010 flow information at a large number of sites. The 7010 (after division by the average flow) "is the "low-flow index" used in determining storage requirements to supply certain draft rates as described by Carter (1983B). Drainage-area data needed for that operation also may be obtained from the profiles. The profiles also may be used to appraise the amount and adequacy of data available for stream reaches likely to be potential sources of water-quality-law prob- lems. They can be useful guides in planning future data-collection programs.

The innovative computer programs devised as part of this project to de- pict low-flow profiles have wide application for extensive further use and likely are some of the most useful products of this investigation. They were developed by Merritt E. Blalock and Howard A. Perlman of the U.S. Geological Survey, Doraville, Ga. The programs can be used to develop profiles for other basins and they can be used to update drainage-area and flow profiles presented in this report as more data become available. Profiles for additional flow characteristics such as average flow or 30-day, 10-year low flow can be gener- ated by the programs by inserting the appropriate flow data into a computer file.

SUPPLEMENTAL DATA-

TABULAR AND GRAPHICAL LOW-FLOW PROFILES

Explanation of Tables and Graphs

The following tables and graphs contain data for selected sites in the upper Ocmulgee and Flint River basins. The tables contain a brief descrip- tion of the locations of the sites. Tables and graphs show distances, in miles, from the mouths of the streams, drainage areas in square miles, and the minimum average rate of flow, in cubic feet per second, for 7 consecutive days, with a 10-year recurrence interval (7Q10), for sites where sufficient supporting data of acceptable accuracy are available. Figures for drainage area or flow above a tributary plus the figures for the mouths of the tributaries may not add exactly because of independent rounding.
