Improvement of trout streams in Wisconsin by augmenting low flows with ground water Improvement of trout streams in Wisconsin by augmenting low flows with ground water

Approximately 2 cubic feet per second of ground water were introduced into the Little Plover River in 1968 when natural streamflow ranged from 3 to 4 cubic feet per second. These augmentation flows were retained undiminished through the 2-mile reach of stream monitored. Maximum stream temperatures were reduced as much as 5?F (3?C) at the augmentation site during the test period, although...

An approach to the design of statewide or regional ground water information systems An approach to the design of statewide or regional ground water information systems

The design of water information or basic data systems must be flexible enough to provide information and data for a broad range of interests from national to local. The system must satisfy the need for information for accounting, surveillance, and areal synthesis purposes. The network is designed by identifying specific needs in terms of maps, analyses, and studies that will provide the...

Reconnaissance of the Manistee River, a cold-water river in the northwestern part of Michigan's Southern Peninsula Reconnaissance of the Manistee River, a cold-water river in the northwestern part of Michigan's Southern Peninsula

The cold-water streams of the northern states provide unique recreational values to the American people (wilderness or semi-wilderness atmosphere, fast-water canoeing, trout fishing), but expanding recreational needs must be balanced against the growing demand of water for public and industrial supplies, irrigation, and dilution of sewage and other wastes. In order to make intelligent...

A study of the Flint River, Michigan, as it relates to low-flow augmentation A study of the Flint River, Michigan, as it relates to low-flow augmentation

One of the uses of the Flint River is dilution of waste-water. Population and industrial growth in the Flint area hah placed new demands on the stream and emphasized the need for an analysis of the surface water resources of the basin. This report describes selected streamflow characteristics of the Flint River and its tributaries, and presents draft-storage relations for the river basin...

Water resources data for Michigan, water year 1971; Part 1, Surface water records Water resources data for Michigan, water year 1971; Part 1, Surface water records

Surface-water records for the 1971 water year for gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites within the State of Michigan are given in this report. For convenience there are also included records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States. The records were collected and computed by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, under the...

Exposure times necessary for antimycin and rotenone to eliminate certain freshwater fish Exposure times necessary for antimycin and rotenone to eliminate certain freshwater fish

In laboratory flowing-water troughs exposure required to induce 100% mortality, regardless of time to death for antimycin and rotenone against selected freshwater fish species was determined. Carp and white suckers required shorter exposures to antimycin (6 hr) than to rotenone (18–24 hr) at field-use concentrations of 5 and 50 ppb respectively. Bullheads were killed by 3–10 hr exposure...
