	Identification of Changes in Streamflow Characteristics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Data were evaluated and compared to streamflows in the adjacent Lumber River Basin to determine if changes in streamfiow characteristics in the Waccamaw River were localized and possibly the result of some human activity, or consistent with regional variations.
		Following 1963, droughts in the Waccamaw Basin seem to have been less severe than in the Lumber Basin, and the annual one-, seven-, and 30-day low flows exhibited a slightly increasing trend in the Waccamaw River.
		Mean daily flows in the Waccamaw River at the 90 percent exceedance level (low flows) during 1985-194, a relatively dry period, were very nearly equal to flows at the same exceedance level for 1970-1979, which represents the 10-year period between 1940 and 1994 with the highest flows.
