Sampling of fish muscle for M.S.222 and quinaldine residues Sampling of fish muscle for M.S.222 and quinaldine residues
Large variations in concentrations of M.S. 222 (tricaine methanesulfonate) and quinaldine (2-methylquinoline) residues occurred in various areas of fish fillets. Residue analyses of replicate samples from homogenized fillets yielded more representative results than samples cut from various areas of fillets.

Effects of irrigation on streamflow in the Central Sand Plain of Wisconsin Effects of irrigation on streamflow in the Central Sand Plain of Wisconsin
Development of ground water for irrigation affects streamflow and water levels in the sand-plain area of central Wisconsin. Additional irrigation development may reduce opportunities for water-based recreation by degrading the streams as trout habitat and by lowering lake levels. This study was made to inventory present development of irrigation in the sand-plain area, assess potential...

Ground water for irrigation near Lake Emily, Pope County, west-central Minnesota Ground water for irrigation near Lake Emily, Pope County, west-central Minnesota
In the Lake Emily area, thickness of the glacial drift ranges from about 200 feet to more than 400 feet. Within the drift are sand and gravel aquifers, some of which can yield adequate water supplies for irrigation. Outwash, as much as 60 feet thick, lies at the surface. The outwash has saturated thicknesses of more than 40 feet and transmissivities of more than 50,000 gallons per day...

Reconnaissance of the Pere Marquette River, a cold water river in the central part of Michigan's Southern Peninsula Reconnaissance of the Pere Marquette River, a cold water river in the central 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, and trout fishing) but the expanding recreational needs must be balanced against the growing demand of water for public and industrial supplies, for irrigation, and for the dilution of sewage and other wastes. In order to...
