Hydrologic Condition Analysis

Proceedings of the 1997 Georgia Water Resources Conference, March 20-22, 1997, Athens, Georgia.The Forest Service (FS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) have developed standard protocols for delineating watersheds, analyzing hydrologic condition for watersheds and preparing a watershed case file. These protocols provide a national approach for determining hydrologic condition of watersheds administered by BLM and FS . The results are used (1) in preparing Forest Service land management plans, and (2) to provide part of the rationale for listing or delisting waters that have impaired water quality per Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and to prioritize watersheds for treatment.Sponsored and Organized by: U.S. Geological Survey, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, The University of Georgia, Georgia State University, Georgia Institute of TechnologyThis book was published by the Institute of Ecology, The University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602 with partial funding provided by the U.S. Department of Interior, Geological Survey, through the Georgia Water Research Institutes Authorization Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-397).
