Agricultural chemical interchange between ground water and surface water, Cedar River basin, Iowa and Minnesota: A study description Agricultural chemical interchange between ground water and surface water, Cedar River basin, Iowa and Minnesota: A study description

A review of the data collected in the Cedar River basin, Iowa and Minnesota, indicates that atrazine is consistently detected in the main-stem river at concentrations greater than 0.10 microgram per liter even during periods of extended base flow. The primary source of atrazine in the river during these periods of base flow is not known. This study is designed to determine how atrazine...

Hydrogeologic data collected from a crude-oil spill site near Bemidji, Minnesota, 1983-91 Hydrogeologic data collected from a crude-oil spill site near Bemidji, Minnesota, 1983-91

The U.S. Geological Survey began a research project at the site of a crude oil spill near Bemidji, Minnesota in 1983. The project is part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Toxic Substances Hydrology Program. The objectives of research at this site are to obtain an understanding of the mobilization, transport, and fate of petroleum derivatives in the shallow subsurface and to use this...

Effects of focused recharge on the transport of agricultural chemicals at the Princeton, Minnesota Management Systems Evaluation Area, 1991-92 Effects of focused recharge on the transport of agricultural chemicals at the Princeton, Minnesota Management Systems Evaluation Area, 1991-92

Rates of water movement through the unsaturated zone greatly affect the amount and concentrations of agricultural chemicals that may reach the water table. For example, recharge can flush chemicals to the water table which have accumulated in the unsaturated zone during dry periods. A better understanding of how topography influences recharge and the movement of agricultural chemicals is...
