Concentrations of Escherichia Coli in Streams in the Upper Wabash River Watershed in Indiana, June-September 1998 Concentrations of Escherichia Coli in Streams in the Upper Wabash River Watershed in Indiana, June-September 1998

Water samples collected from 46 stream sites in the Upper Wabash River Watershed from June through September 1998 were analyzed for concentrations of the bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli). Each site was sampled five times in a 30-day period. Twenty-one sites were sampled during June and July, and 25 sites were sampled during August and September. The concentration of E. coli in 145 of...

Quality of wet deposition in the Grand Calumet River Watershed, northwestern Indiana, October 17, 1995–November 12, 1996 Quality of wet deposition in the Grand Calumet River Watershed, northwestern Indiana, October 17, 1995–November 12, 1996

In June 1992, a wet-deposition collection site was established at the Gary (Indiana) Regional Airport to monitor the quantity and chemical quality of wet deposition. During the first phase of sampling, 48 wet-deposition samples were collected between June 30, 1992, and August 31, 1993. A second phase of sampling began in October 1995. During the second phase of sampling, 40 wet...
