Selected hydrologic data for urban watersheds in South Carolina, 1983-90

Rainfall and streamflow data were collected at 23 gaging stations located in urban watersheds in South Carolina from 1983-90. The site selection process and the instrumentation used to collect the data are described. A compilation of rainfall and streamflow data in graphic and tabular form for seven selected events at each gaging station are presented. A gaging-station description and a listing of certain streamflow and basin characteristics also are included.

Determination of flood hydrographs for streams in South Carolina: Volume 1. Simulation of flood hydrographs for rural watersheds in South Carolina

A method is given for simulating a typical (average) flood hydrograph corresponding to a peak discharge of specific recurrence interval for ungaged rural basins having drainage areas less than 500 sq mi in South Carolina. Dimensionless hydrographs were developed for three regions on the basis of 188 storm events at 49 stations that represent a wide range of drainage area sizes and basin conditions. The design peak discharge and a basin lagtime (which has been adjusted to produce correct hydrograph volume) are required to apply the technique. The standard errors of estimate for simulated hydrograph widths at 50 and 75%, respectively, of observed stormflow were +/-14.1 and +/-18.3% for basins in the Blue Ridge physiographic province, +/-29.2 and +/-36.2% for basins in the Piedmont province, and +/-17.8 and +/-22.8% for basins in the Coastal Plain provinces.
