Assessing sediments from Upper Mississippi River navigational pools using a benthic invertebrate community evaluation and the sediment quality triad approach Assessing sediments from Upper Mississippi River navigational pools using a benthic invertebrate community evaluation and the sediment quality triad approach
Benthic invertebrate samples were collected from 23 pools in the Upper Mississippi River (UMR) and from one station in the Saint Croix River (SCR) as part of a study to assess the effects of the extensive flooding of 1993 on sediment contamination in the UMR system. Sediment contaminants of concern included both organic and inorganic compounds. Oligochaetes and chironomids constituted...

Computed discharges at five sites in lower Laguna Madre near Port Isabel, Texas, June 1997 Computed discharges at five sites in lower Laguna Madre near Port Isabel, Texas, June 1997
The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), and Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) are charged by the Texas Legislature with determining freshwater inflows required to maintain the ecological health of streams, bays, and estuaries in Texas. To determine required inflows, the three agencies collect data and conduct studies on...

Water resources data, Georgia, water year 1997: Volume 1. South Atlantic Region Water resources data, Georgia, water year 1997: Volume 1. South Atlantic Region
Water-resources data for the 1997 water year for Georgia consists of discharge records for 123 gaging stations; stage for 23 gaging stations; stage and contents for 18 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 202 continuing-record stations; and peak stage and discharge only for 77 crest-stage partial-record stations; and water levels of 24 observation wells. The data for the South...

Source and transport of desethylatrazine and desisopropylatrazine to groundwater of the midwestern United States Source and transport of desethylatrazine and desisopropylatrazine to groundwater of the midwestern United States
Based on usage of the parent compounds and studies of their dissipation in corn fields, atrazine (6-chloro-N-ethyl-N'-(1-methylethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine)), cyanazine (2-[[4-chloro-6-(ethylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino]-2-methylpropionitrile), and simazine (6-chloro-N,N'diethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) are thought to be the important contributors of desethylatrazine (6-chloro...

Peak-flow frequency for tributaries of the Colorado River downstream of Austin, Texas Peak-flow frequency for tributaries of the Colorado River downstream of Austin, Texas
A procedure to estimate the peak discharge associated with large floods is needed for tributaries of the Colorado River downstream of Austin, Texas, so that appropriate peak discharges can be used to estimate floodplain boundaries and used for the design of bridges and other structures. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Lower Colorado River Authority, studied flood...
