Streamflow and cross-section data for the Tombigbee River between Aliceville and Gainesville locks and dams

A review of records and historical research of floods for the Tombigbee River near Cochrane, Alabama, show that the flood of 1892 was the highest since 1818. In 1962 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimated a peak discharge of 235,000 cu ft/sec for this flood. This estimated discharge is more than 40% > the next highest flood peak; that of 1973. Limit curves developed for the tailwater of Aliceville Lock and Dam, based on 61 computed discharge and 24 discharge measurements, show the range in stage for a given discharge at this site. Similarly, limit curves developed for Gainesville Lock and Dam pool were developed based on 49 computed discharges and 10 mean daily discharges. Data from hydrographic surveys that were made for more than 100 ranges in 1937 and 1971 are on file with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Presently 49 sedimentation ranges between Aliceville Lock and Dam and Gainesville Lock and Dam are surveyed routinely. Comparison of these and other data may be made to identify changes occurring along this reach of the river as a result of natural and man-made causes. These and other hydrologic data collected along the reach of the Tombigbee River between Aliceville Lock and Dam and Gainesville Lock and Dam are presented in tables. (USGS)

Availability and compilation of selected streamflow data for the Mobile River and its distributaries including the lower Alabama River and the lower Tombigbee River

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Geological Survey have collected streamflow data from gaging stations located in and near the Mobile Estuary in southwestern Alabama since 1940. These data include stage, stream velocity, and water quality information, which were collected from 12 gaging stations and at miscellaneous sites in the region. During the period from 1978 to 1983, over 100 discharge measurements were made along the U.S. Highway 90 Causeway for the Tensaw, Apalachee, and Blakely Rivers. The purpose of this report is to publish information on the type of data collected in the region, list of availability of the data, and publish where the data can be found. (USGS)

Streamflow and cross-section data for the Tombigbee River between Gainesville and Demopolis locks and dams

A review of records and historical research of floods indicate that the flood of April 15-18, 1979, was the highest recorded this century along the reach of the Tombigbee River that is now bounded upstream by Gainesville Lock and Dam and downstream by Demopolis Lock and Dam. The peak discharge during this flood ranged from 247,000 cu ft/sec at Epes to 343,000 cu ft/sec at Demopolis Lock and Dam. Limit curves developed for the tailwater of Gainesville Dam, based on 105 computed discharges for four flood events since April 1979, show the range in stage for a given discharge at this site. Data from hydrographic surveys that were made for more than 100 sedimentation ranges in 1971 are on file with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Presently 42 sedimentation ranges between Gainesville Lock and Dam and Demopolis Lock and Dam are surveyed routinely. Comparison of these and other data can be made in order to observe what changes have occurred along this reach of the river, as a result of natural and man-made causes. These and other hydrologic data collected along the reach of the Tombigbee River between Gainesville Lock and Dam and Demopolis Lock and Dam are presented in tables. (USGS)

Investigation of selected streamflow characteristics of the Alabama River upstream from Selma, Alabama

Available data for floods in the vicinity of Montgomery since the late 1800 's indicate that the flood of 1886 is the highest since settlement of the area in 1814. Profiles for floods in 1948, 1961, 1976, and 1979 were defined using floodmarks and recorded peak stages at gaging stations at Selma and Montgomery. The floods in 1948 and 1961 occurred before construction of Robert F. Henry Lock and Dam (formerly Jones Bluff Lock and Dam and Millers Ferry Lock and Dam). Considerable water-surface differences are indicated between the profiles for periods before and after construction of the dams. The investigation included a step-backwater model to reproduce profiles based on the actual flood profiles. After the actual flood profiles were reproduced, the model was used to compute additional profiles showing the effects of varying tributary inflow. The profiles were computed for discharges ranging from 80,000 ft3/s to 500 ,000 ft3/s. Stage-discharge relations were then developed for five sites upstream from Selma. Discharge coefficient curves for prevalent types of flow over the spillway at Robert F. Henry Lock and Dam were developed using discharges obtained from current-meter measurements and standard discharge equations for flow through gate-controlled spillways. (USGS)
