Aggregation of Minnesota water-use data and transfer of data to the National Water-Use Data System; Procedures and programs Aggregation of Minnesota water-use data and transfer of data to the National Water-Use Data System; Procedures and programs
The Minnesota Water-Use Data System stores data on the quantity of withdrawals and discharge in Minnesota. To transfer these data into the U.S. Geological Survey 's National Water-Use Data System properly, certain procedures must be followed. Uniform data categorization and entry allows comparison of water use from State to State. The data in the National Water-Use Data System are...

U.S. Geological Survey ground-water studies in Wisconsin U.S. Geological Survey ground-water studies in Wisconsin
GROUND-WATER ISSUES Ground-water sources provide about one-half of the water used in Wisconsin, excluding the water used for thermoelectric cooling. Ground-water sources serve about 70 percent of the State's population. All rural-domestic supplies and about 94 percent of the municipalities use ground water. Nearly all irrigation and stock watering are from ground water. Aquifers in...

Residues of benzocaine in rainbow trout, largemouth bass, and fish meal Residues of benzocaine in rainbow trout, largemouth bass, and fish meal
Residues of the anesthetic benzocaine in muscle tissue of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) were determined after exposure of the fish to 50 mg benzocaine/L for 15 min and withdrawal times of 0–24 h. The mean concentration of benzocaine residues in fish sampled immediately after exposure was 14.0 μg/g in rainbow trout and 10.6 μg/g in largemouth...

Variations in abundance of young-of-the-year channel catfish in a navigation pool of the upper Mississippi River Variations in abundance of young-of-the-year channel catfish in a navigation pool of the upper Mississippi River
Spatial and temporal variations in the abundance of young-of-the-year channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus were determined over 3 years based on 154 trawls taken from Navigation Pool 7 of the upper Mississippi River. No significant spatial patterns in abundance or length of fish in the catch were found in seven poolwide surveys of the main channel. However, high variation among replicates

Hydrology and water quality of Delavan Lake in southeastern Wisconsin Hydrology and water quality of Delavan Lake in southeastern Wisconsin
Delavan Lake is a eutrophic, recreational lake in a densely populated area of southeastern Wisconsin. Sewage effluent and septic tank drainage were diverted out of the drainage basin of the lake to improve its water quality in 1981. The worst known blue-green algal bloom occurred in the lake in the summer of 1983. A comprehensive hydrologic and water-quality investigation was started in...

National water summary 1986: Hydrologic events and ground-water quality National water summary 1986: Hydrologic events and ground-water quality
Ground water is one of the most important natural resources of the United States and degradation of its quality could have a major effect on the welfare of the Nation. Currently (1985), ground water is the source of drinking water for 53 percent of the Nation's population and for more than 97 percent of its rural population. It is the source of about 40 percent of the Nation's public...

U.S. Geological survey program on toxic waste--ground-water contamination; proceedings of the Second technical meeting, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, October 21-25, 1985 U.S. Geological survey program on toxic waste--ground-water contamination; proceedings of the Second technical meeting, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, October 21-25, 1985
This study characterizes the clay minerals in sediments associated with a plume of creosote-contaminated groundwater. The plume of contaminated groundwater near Pensacola, FL, is in shallow, permeable, Miocene to Holocene quartz sand and flows southward toward Pensacola Bay. Clay-size fractions were separated from 41 cores, chiefly split-spoon samples at 13 drill sites. The most striking...
