Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Lake Superior Basin, Wisconsin Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Lake Superior Basin, Wisconsin

Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Lake Superior basin include estimates of low-flow frequency and flow duration at 9 gaging stations, low-flow frequency at 16 low-flow partial-record stations and 38 miscellaneous sites; and a list of base-flow discharge measurement is available. The equations were determined from multiple-regression analyses that relate low-flow characteristics...

Water-quality reconnaissance of lakes in Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota Water-quality reconnaissance of lakes in Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota

Water samples were collected from three lakes in Voyageurs National Park to assess chemical and biological water quality in March and August 1977. Bottom material samples were also collected and analyzed for chemical quality. Results of the analyses show that the water system was dilute; specific conductance ranged from 32 to 111 micromhos. Blue-green algae, particularly Oscillatoria...

Design of a network for monitoring ground-water quality in Minnesota Design of a network for monitoring ground-water quality in Minnesota

A network for monitoring the quality of water in the 13 principal aquifers in Minnesota has been designed and more than 400 wells and springs selected for sampling. The network organization includes four major elements; (1) point sampling, (2) point monitoring, (3) regional monitoring, and (4) site-specific monitoring. These elements constitute monitoring strategies designed to define...

Ethyl-p-aminobenzoate (Benzocaine): efficacy as an anesthetic for five species of freshwater fish Ethyl-p-aminobenzoate (Benzocaine): efficacy as an anesthetic for five species of freshwater fish

Ethyl-p-aminobenzoate (benzocaine) was tested for its efficacy as an anesthetic for rainbow trout (Salmo gairdnerii, brown trout (Salmo truttas, northern pike (Esox lucius). carp (Cyprinus carpio), and largemouth bass (Mieropterus salmoidesi. Since benzocaine is not water soluble, it was applied with acetone as a carrier. Concentrations of 100 to 200 mg!l were required for large adult...

Small-stream flood investigations in Minnesota, October 1958 to September 1977 Small-stream flood investigations in Minnesota, October 1958 to September 1977

An investigation of flood flows from small drainage basins in Minnesota is being made to aid in the design of bridges, culverts and other highway drainage structures. Results of the investigation provide peak-flow data on streams generally with drainage areas less than 50 square miles, placing particular emphasis on those with drainage areas less than 10 square miles. Basin parameters...

Low-flow characteristics of Wisconsin streams at sewage-treatment plants and industrial plants Low-flow characteristics of Wisconsin streams at sewage-treatment plants and industrial plants

Low-flow characteristics of Wisconsin streams at 397 sewage-treatment plants and 143 industrial plants in 30 river basins are presented in this report. The low-flow characteristics are the annual minimum 7-day mean flow below which the flow will fall on the average of once in 2 years (Q7,2) and the annual minimum 7-day mean flow below which the flow will fall on the average of once in 10...

Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Trempealeau-Black River basin, Wisconsin Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Trempealeau-Black River basin, Wisconsin

Lov-flov characteristics of streams in the Trempealeau-Black River "basin are presented. Included are estimates of low-flow frequency and flow duration at 9 gaging stations, and low-flow frequency characteristics at 20 low-flow partial-record stations and 119 miscellaneous sites. Ten equations are provided to estimate low-flow characteristics at ungaged sites and at sites where one "base...

Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Pecatonica-Sugar River basin, Wisconsin Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Pecatonica-Sugar River basin, Wisconsin

The purpose of this report is to describe low-flow characteristics of streams in the Pecatonica-Sugar River basin, Wisconsin, where streamflow data have been collected, and to present equations for estimating low-flow characteristics at ungaged sites. Low-flow characteristics were estimated for 11 gaging stations, 25 low-flow partial-record stations, and 207 miscellaneous sites in the...
