Toxicity of organic selenium in the diet to chinook salmon Toxicity of organic selenium in the diet to chinook salmon

The toxicity of two organoselenium diets was evaluated in 90- to 120-d partial life cycle tests with two life stages of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Walbaum). One of the diets contained fish meal made from high-selenium mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis Baird and Girard) collected from the selenium-laden San Luis Drain, California (here termed SLD diet) and the other contained...

Hydrology of the Arbuckle Mountains area, south-central Oklahoma Hydrology of the Arbuckle Mountains area, south-central Oklahoma

Rocks that make up the Arbuckle-Simpson aquifer crop out over ~500 mi2 in the Arbuckle Mountains province in south-central Oklahoma. The aquifer consists of limestone, dolomite, and sandstone of the Arbuckle and Simpson Groups of Late Cambrian to Middle Ordovician age and is about 5,000-9,000 ft thick. The rocks were subjected to intensive folding and faulting associated with major...

Water withdrawals in the Roanoke-Chowan Subregion of North Carolina and Virginia, 1983 Water withdrawals in the Roanoke-Chowan Subregion of North Carolina and Virginia, 1983

The Chowan-Roanoke Subregion of North Carolina and Virginia comprises an area of about 18,300 sq mi, of which 7,600 sq mi are in North Carolina and 10,700 sq mi are in Virginia. Precipitation in the region is relatively high, and therefore water supplies appear to be plentiful. However, projected increases in water withdrawals, proposed interbasin diversions, and limited storage could...

Conceptualization and analysis of ground-water flow system in the Coastal Plain of Virginia and adjacent parts of Maryland and North Carolina Conceptualization and analysis of ground-water flow system in the Coastal Plain of Virginia and adjacent parts of Maryland and North Carolina

The ground-water flow system in the Coastal Plain of Virginia and adjacent parts of Maryland and North Carolina consists of a water table aquifer and an underlying sequence of confined aquifers and intervening confining units composed of unconsolidated sand and clay. A digital flow model was developed to enhance knowledge of the behavior of the ground-water flow system in response to its

Water resources data, Georgia, water year 1989 Water resources data, Georgia, water year 1989

Water resources data for the 1989 water year for Georgia consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; ground-water levels; and precipitation quality. This report contains discharge records of 118 gaging stations; stage for 27 gaging stations; stage and contents for 18 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 105...

Water quality characteristics of inflow to and outflow from B. Everett Jordan Lake, North Carolina, 1982-86 Water quality characteristics of inflow to and outflow from B. Everett Jordan Lake, North Carolina, 1982-86

B. Everett Jordan Lake, a 13,900-acre reservoir in the north-central Piedmont of North Carolina, was completed in February 1982. Hydrologic data were collected at four inflow sites and one outflow site to define water-quality characteristics. Data include streamflow data and 56 physical and chemical characteristics of streamwater. Concentrations of some constituents at inflow sites were...

Determination of flood hydrographs for streams in South Carolina: Volume 1. Simulation of flood hydrographs for rural watersheds in South Carolina Determination of flood hydrographs for streams in South Carolina: Volume 1. Simulation of flood hydrographs for rural watersheds in South Carolina

A method is given for simulating a typical (average) flood hydrograph corresponding to a peak discharge of specific recurrence interval for ungaged rural basins having drainage areas less than 500 sq mi in South Carolina. Dimensionless hydrographs were developed for three regions on the basis of 188 storm events at 49 stations that represent a wide range of drainage area sizes and basin...
