Sediment yields of Wisconsin streams Sediment yields of Wisconsin streams
Sediment in Wisconsin streams causes economic and engineering problems in water management and reduces the value of water for nearly all uses. Sediment produces problems such as reduced reservoir capacity, navigation hazards, increased cost of water treatment, property damage, temporary loss of farmland, destruction of feeding and nesting grounds of fish, and destruction of wildlife...

Hydrologic implications of solid-water disposal Hydrologic implications of solid-water disposal
The disposal of more than 1,400 million pounds of solid wastes in the United States each day is a major problem. This disposal in turn often leads to serious health, esthetic, and environmental problems. Among these is the pollution of vital ground-water resources. Of the six principal methods of solid-waste disposal in general use today, four methods-open dumps, sanitary landfill...

Chemical quality of Michigan streams Chemical quality of Michigan streams
Concentrations of chemical constituents of Michigan streams exhibit regional patterns that are primarily a function of geology and evapotranspiration. However, in some areas waste disposal by municipal and industrial organizations has altered the natural distribution and concentrations of dissolved material. Concentration and areal distribution of chemical constitutents were found to...

UV identification and quantitative measurement of quinaldine residues in fish UV identification and quantitative measurement of quinaldine residues in fish
A method for the confirmatory analysis of quinaldine residue in fish is described. The method utilizes the same extraction and cleanup procedure as the GLC method reported previously. The lower limit of sensitivity for quinaldine residue in fish muscle is 0.01 ppm. Identification is accomplished by comparing the UV spectra of the sample and a standard solution of quinaldine.

Flood of March 1968 on the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord Rivers, Massachusetts Flood of March 1968 on the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord Rivers, Massachusetts
During a 3-day period from March 17 to 19, 1968, a total of 3 to 7 inches of rain fell on parts of eastern Massachusetts. This heavy rainfall, combined with the generally wet antecedent conditions of the spring season and some runoff from snowmelt, caused considerable flooding of the rivers in the area. Property damage in Massachusetts from the flood was reported by the New England...

Water as an urban resource and nuisance Water as an urban resource and nuisance
Generally, when people speak of water as a resource, they are considering its good aspects and recognizing that it is essential for life and living. Sometimes or at some places or to some people, the same water may be annoying or unpleasant and thus a nuisance-for example, rain at a picnic, snow at any time except Christmas Eve, ground water in a basement, floodwater inundating personal...
