Water resources of the Huron River Basin, southeastern Michigan Water resources of the Huron River Basin, southeastern Michigan
This hydrologic atlas represents a part of a comprehensive study of the water resources of southeastern Michigan. Its purpose is to provide information on (1) physical features of the Huron River and its tributaries, (2) characteristics of streamflow, (3) quality of ground and surface water, and (4) availability of ground water. This atlas is one in a series of atlases on several river...

Analysis of operational plan for Lake Chippewa near Winter, Wisconsin Analysis of operational plan for Lake Chippewa near Winter, Wisconsin
Historical inflows into Lake Chippewa for 39 years of record were analyzed to determine the possibility of operating the flowage within a 2-foot (0.6-metre) range of stage while maintaining a minimum discharge of 57 cubic feet per second (1.6 cubic metres per second) and limiting the maximum discharge to 7,000 cubic feet per second (200 cubic metres per second). This proposed operating...

Streamflow Characteristics of Klawitter Creek Basin near Westfield, Wisconsin Streamflow Characteristics of Klawitter Creek Basin near Westfield, Wisconsin
This report presents low-flow characteristics and mean annual discharge for a site on Klawitter Creek, where an application for diversion of streamflow has been made. This information will be used by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to determine the availability of irrigation water from the stream while maintaining sufficient streamflow to support fish. The study was done in

Data summary of June-July 1975 floods in eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota Data summary of June-July 1975 floods in eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota
Torrential rains during late June and early July 1975, combined with wet antecedent conditions, caused severe flooding, mainly along the lower reaches of the Sheyenne and Maple Rivers and their tributaries in North Dakota, and in the Buffalo and Wild Rice River basins in Minnesota. The Red River of the North from the Fargo-Moorhead area to the Halstad, Minnesota area was also severely...

Effects of pH on toxicity of antimycin to fish Effects of pH on toxicity of antimycin to fish
Detoxification of antimycin at pH 9.5 was caused by two factors. The piscicide was biologically unavailable at the high pH, and this unavailability was reversed by decreasing the pH of water solutions. Simultaneously antimycin detoxified with time, and the resulting loss in toxicity was irreversible. The toxicity of antimycin was related to the amount of un-ionized molecules; however...

Variation in response of channel catfish to Henneguya sp. infections (Protozoa: Myxosporidea) Variation in response of channel catfish to Henneguya sp. infections (Protozoa: Myxosporidea)
Infections in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus, Rafinesque) induced by the sporozoan Henneguya (Protozoa: Myxosporidea) result in seven known and diverse disease manifestations. Most outstanding is an interlamellar branchial form responsible for significant losses among immature catfish, and a unique papillomatous form. The question of whether or not the species of Henneguya involved...

Flood of April 1975 at East Lansing, Michigan Flood of April 1975 at East Lansing, Michigan
On April 18 between 5 p.m. and 12 p.m. the city of East Lansing experienced an intense rainstorm that caused the Red Cedar River to overflow its banks, resulting in the most devastating flood since 1904. During the period of flooding the U.S. Geological Survey obtained aerial photography of the East Lansing area to document the disaster. The photography has been used to show the extent...
