Sedimentation in Long Lake, Noble County, northeastern Indiana, 1959-88 Sedimentation in Long Lake, Noble County, northeastern Indiana, 1959-88

Sedimentation has had little or no effect on the storage capacity or surface area of Long Lake. The lake is a natural lake that formed in unconsolidated glacial deposits. The lake is essentially two lakes: a small southern part and a large northern part. The lake receives drainage from Thumma Ditch. At the outlet of the lake, the drainage area of Thumma Ditch is 12.0 square miles...

Assimilation efficiency for sediment-sorbed benzo(a)pyrene by Diporeia spp. Assimilation efficiency for sediment-sorbed benzo(a)pyrene by Diporeia spp.

Two methods are currently available for determining contaminant assimilation efficiencies (AE) from ingested material in benthic invertebrates. These methods were compared using the Great Lakes amphipod Diporeia spp. and [14C]benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) sorbed to Florissant sediment ( 63 µm). The first approach, the direct measurement method, uses total organic carbon as a tracer and yielded AE...

Hydrologic data and hydrologic budget for Summit Lake Reservoir, Henry County, East-Central Indiana, water years 1989 and 1990 Hydrologic data and hydrologic budget for Summit Lake Reservoir, Henry County, East-Central Indiana, water years 1989 and 1990

Hydrologic data were collected near Summit Lake Reservoir for 2 years beginning October 1, 1988, and ending September 30, 1990. The data-collection network consisted of 1 reservoir-stage gage, 2 precipitation gages, 1 evaporation pan, 2 streamflow gages, and 13 observation wells. Stage-area and stage-storage relations for the reservoir were used in combination with the hydrologic data to...

Sedimentation in Whitewater Lake, Union County, east-central Indiana, 1959-88 Sedimentation in Whitewater Lake, Union County, east-central Indiana, 1959-88

Sedimentation has had little effect on the storage capacity or surface area of Whitewater Lake. The lake was constructed by damming Silver Creek in 1949 and was dredged during 1978-81 and 1984-88. At the dam, the drainage area of Silver Creek is 19.2 square miles. Locations where the largest amount of sediment has accumulated for the 29-year period 1959-88 are in the upper part of the...

Recovery of benthic-invertebrate communities in the White River near Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, following implementation of advanced treatment of municipal wastewater Recovery of benthic-invertebrate communities in the White River near Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, following implementation of advanced treatment of municipal wastewater

The City of Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, completed construction of advanced-wastewater-treatment systems to enlarge and upgrade existing secondary-treatment processes at the City’s two municipal wastewater-treatment plants in 1983. These plants discharge their effluent to the White River. A study was begun in 1981 to evaluate the effects of municipal wastewater on the quality of the White...

Feasibility of using portable, noninvasive pipe flowmeters and time totalizers for determining water use Feasibility of using portable, noninvasive pipe flowmeters and time totalizers for determining water use

The feasibilityty of using noninvasive flowmeters for determining water use was investigated by attempting, and at some sites repeating, instantaneous pipe-flow measurements at 45 water-withdrawal sites by use of four portable noninvasive pipe flowmeters. The flowmeters measure flow in pipes; this flow is related to water use. Because actual water use can differ from the total flow in...

Suspended sediment in Trail Creek at Michigan City, Indiana Suspended sediment in Trail Creek at Michigan City, Indiana

Trail Creek is a small (54.1-square-mile drainage area) tributary of Lake Michigan located in northwestern Indiana. A harbor at the mouth of the stream has experienced excessive sediment deposition. A study was done to investigate the suspended-sediment characteristics of Trail Creek. The study included analysis of suspended-sediment concentration and particle-size data, and estimates of...

Description and effects of 1988 drought on ground-water levels, streamflow, and reservoir levels in Indiana Description and effects of 1988 drought on ground-water levels, streamflow, and reservoir levels in Indiana

Documentation of the 1988 drought in Indiana was undertaken to aid water-management agencies and planners concerned with periods of below-normal precipitation and their effect on commercial, agricultural, and residential water use. Precipitation, temperature, Palmer Drought Severity Indices, and ground- and surface-water levels from water years 1988 and 1989 were compared to the...

Ground-water levels and directions of flow in the vicinity of a well field, Elkhart, Indiana, December 1989 Ground-water levels and directions of flow in the vicinity of a well field, Elkhart, Indiana, December 1989

Water levels were measured in 51 observation wells in the vicinity of the Elkhart Water Works Main Street well field during 5 days of normal pumping at the well field and little or no recharge to the ground water from precipitation. Water levels were measured once each day during December 18-22, 1989. Water-level altitudes were plotted and contoured on maps to determine the distribution...
