Water-quality assessment of the Albemarle-Pamlico drainage basin, North Carolina and Virginia: Characterization of suspended sediment, nutrients, and pesticides Water-quality assessment of the Albemarle-Pamlico drainage basin, North Carolina and Virginia: Characterization of suspended sediment, nutrients, and pesticides
The 28,000-square-mile Albemarle-Pamlico drainage basin includes the Roanoke, Dan, Chowan Tar, and Neuse Rivers. The basin extends through four physiographic provinces in North Carolina and Virginia-Valley and Ridge, Blue Ridge, Piedmont and Coastal Plain. The spatial and temporal trends in ground-water and riverine water quality in the study area were characterized by using readily...

Water-quality assessment of the Trinity River Basin, Texas— Analysis of available information on nutrients and suspended sediment, 1974-91 Water-quality assessment of the Trinity River Basin, Texas— Analysis of available information on nutrients and suspended sediment, 1974-91
The U.S. Geological Survey is conducting an assessment of water quality in the Trinity River Basin as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment Program. During the planning phase of this study, existing information on nutrients and suspended sediment was compiled and analyzed. A total of about 5,700 water-quality samples were analyzed from local, State, and Federal agencies. Of these...

Retention time and flow patterns in Lake Marion, South Carolina, 1984 Retention time and flow patterns in Lake Marion, South Carolina, 1984
In 1984, six dye tracer tests were made on Lake Marion to determine flow patterns and retention times under conditions of high and low flow. During the high-flow tests, with an average inflow of about 29,000 cubic feet per second, the approximate travel time through the lake for the peak tracer concentration was 14 days. The retention time was about 20 days. During the low-flow tests...

Selected hydrologic data for urban watersheds in South Carolina, 1983-90 Selected hydrologic data for urban watersheds in South Carolina, 1983-90
Rainfall and streamflow data were collected at 23 gaging stations located in urban watersheds in South Carolina from 1983-90. The site selection process and the instrumentation used to collect the data are described. A compilation of rainfall and streamflow data in graphic and tabular form for seven selected events at each gaging station are presented. A gaging-station description and a...

Winter biomass and nutrient values of three seagrass species as potential foods for redheads (Aythya americana eyton) in Chandeleur Sound, Louisiana Winter biomass and nutrient values of three seagrass species as potential foods for redheads (Aythya americana eyton) in Chandeleur Sound, Louisiana
We studied biomass and macronutrient content ofHalodule wrightii (shoalgrass) throughout the winter and ofThalassia testudinum (turtlegrass) andSyringodium filiforme (manateegrass) in January in Chandeleur Sound, LouisianaHalodule, the primary fcod of wintering redheads, had the lowest biomass of the three species on the study area in mid-winter. Macronutrient content ofHalodule did not...
