Regional Curve Development and Selection of a Reference Reach in the Non-Urban, Lowland Sections of the Piedmont Physiographic Province, Pennsylvania and Maryland.

摘要

This report describes the methods used, data collected, the results of regional-curve development, and the selection of a reference reach. Regional curves developed from channel-characteristics data collected from December 1999 to March 2000 that represent channel dimensions in the Piedmont Lowland and Gettysburg-Newark Lowland Sections of the Piedmont Physiographic Province within Pennsylvania and Maryland are presented. Channel characteristics of a reference reach on Bermudian Creek in the Gettysburg-Newark Lowland Section in Adams County, Pa., also are presented.
