Laboratory studies on antimycin A as a fish toxicant
Liquid and sand formulations of antimycin A were tested in laboratory waters of various temperature, hardness, pH, and turbidity against 31 species of fresh-water fish of various sizes and life stages. Each formulation of toxicant was lethal under all water conditions to fish eggs, fry, fingerlings, and adult fish. Trouts are the most sensitive and catfishes the least sensitive. Of the 31 species,

Water resources of the Belle River basin, southeastern Michigan
This hydrologic atlas represents a part of a comprehensive study of the water resources of southeastern Michigan. The purpose of the atlas is to present data on (1) the physical features of the Belle River and its tributaries, (2) the characteristics of streamflow, (3) the quality of ground and surface waters, and (4) an evaluation of the ground-water potential of the area. The atlas is one in a s

Water resources of the Buffalo River Watershed, West-central Minnesota
The Buffalo River watershed includes two general physiographic areas – a glacial lake plain and an glacial moraine.
The lake plain, which was formed by Glacial lake Agassiz more than 9,000 years ago, is extremely flat – sloping only a few feet per mile westward near the Red River of the North. The moraine is largely an area of gently rolling hills, but in the eastern “tail” of the watershed the re

Water resources of the Yellow Medicine River Watershed, Southwestern Minnesota
Glacial drift and Cretaceous sedimentary rocks are the major aquifers in the Yellow Medicine River watershed unit.
The Yellow Medicine and Minnesota Rivers are the major sources of surface water. For physiographic regions – Upland Plain, Slope, Lowland Plain, and Minnesota River Flood Plain – influence surface drainage, and the flow of ground water through the aquifers. The watershed comprises 107

Ground-water resources of the St. James area, South-central Minnesota
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the quality and quantity of the ground-water resources in the area of St. James, Minnesota. St. James is located in the center of Watonwan County in south-central Minnesota. The area is covered by a thick layer of glacial drift which is underlain by Cretaceous, Cambrian, and Precambrian rocks. St. James presently obtains its water supply from two a
