This volume will provide a convenient and much-needed compilation of standards for the design of illustrations for authors of Survey reports produced in the Southeastern Region. While it presents very little that is new, it does draw material together under one cover for easy reference.
Rainfall, stormwater discharge, and water-quality data for a multifamily residential area in Dade County, Florida, are summarized in this report. Loads for 19 water-quality constituents were computed for runoff from 16 storms from May 1977 through June 1978. The 14.7 acre basin contains apartment buildings with adjacent parking lots. The total surface area consists of 70.7 percent impervious material.
Rainfall, stormwater discharge, and water-quality data for rainfall and runoff are summarized for a commercial area in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Loads for 20 water-quality constituents were computed for runoff from 31 storms between May 1975 and June 1977. The basin of 20.4 acres contains a shopping center with adjacent parking, and is 97.9 percent impervious.
A data management system was developed to store and retrieve urban stormwater data collected from four small urban basins in south Florida. The system is event oriented in that all data from one storm are stored together on the computer file. The data include descriptive information about the storm and data on rainfall, stage, discharge, and water quality. The data management system, composed of about 20 Fortran programs, was developed to store data, retrieve tables for publication, calculate flow discharges and constituent loads, and provide for interfacing with statistical and deterministic model application programs.

Rainfall, storm-sewer discharge, and water-quality analyses of storm runoff are summarized for a single-family residential area near Pompano Beach, Florida. The area of the drainage basin is 41 acres of which 61 percent is pervious sod lawns and 39 percent is impervious roofs, driveways and streets. The land surface is nearly flat with a gentle, eastward slope. Storm runoff flows eastward along grass swales into a sewer collection system on the eastern boundary of the area that in turn joins a 36-inch diameter storm drain. Runoff loads of 12 or more water-quality constituents were computed for 32 storms between April 1974 and September 1975. Chemical analyses of rainfall for 3 storms are included. (Woodard-USGS)
Rainfall, stormwater discharge, and water-quality data for both rainfall and runoff are summarized for a highway area near Pompano Beach, Florida. Loads for 20 water-quality constituents were computed for the runoff from 41 storms between April 1975, and July 1977. The basin of 58.3 acres contains a 3,000 ft segment of highway and is 36 percent impervious.
