National water summary 1987: Hydrologic events and water supply and use National water summary 1987: Hydrologic events and water supply and use
Water use in the United States, as measured by freshwater withdrawals in 1985, averaged 338,000 Mgal/d (million gallons per day), which is enough water to cover the 48 conterminous States to a depth of about 2.4 inches. Only 92,300 Mgal/d, or 27.3 percent of the water withdrawn, was consumptive use and thus lost to immediate further use; the remainder of the withdrawals (72.7 percent)...

A method to estimate canal leakage to the Biscayne Aquifer, Dade County, Florida A method to estimate canal leakage to the Biscayne Aquifer, Dade County, Florida
The leakage characteristics of channels that partially penetrate the Biscayne aquifer and have reduced bed permeability were studied. Leakage characteristics were described in terms of a reach transmissivity-defined as the volume flow rate out of the channel per unit length of the channel per unit drawdown, where drawdown is defined as the difference in altitude between the water surface...

A summary of water-resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Iowa; fiscal year 1990 A summary of water-resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Iowa; fiscal year 1990
Water resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Iowa consist of collecting hydrologic data and conducting interpretive studies. Hydrologic investigations in Iowa are made through three basic types of projects: (1) hydrologic data-collection programs; (2) local or areal hydrologic studies; and (3) statewide or regional investigations. These projects are funded through...

Determination and occurrence of AHH-active polychlorinated biphenyls, 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro-p-dioxin and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran in Lake Michigan sediment and biota. The question of their relative toxicological significance Determination and occurrence of AHH-active polychlorinated biphenyls, 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro-p-dioxin and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran in Lake Michigan sediment and biota. The question of their relative toxicological significance
An analytical procedure has been developed for the determination of the 18 PCB congeners which are inducers of methylcholanthrene-like mixed function oxidase activity in animals and include the most toxic PCBs. Determinations of the toxic PCB congeners in samples of eggs of predatory fish and piscivorous birds of the Great Lakes and in Aroclor mixtures demonstrate that the apparent toxic...

Water resources data, North Carolina, water year 1989 Water resources data, North Carolina, water year 1989
Water resources data for the 1989 water year for North Carolina consists of records of stage, discharge and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and ground-water levels. This report contains discharge records for 178 gaging stations and stage and contents for 26 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 26 gaging stations and 10 miscellaneous sites...

Relation between urbanization and water quality of streams in the Austin area, Texas Relation between urbanization and water quality of streams in the Austin area, Texas
Selected water-quality properties and constituents of stormflow and base flow were compared to determine the relation between the degree of urbanization and the water quality in a drainage basin. Samples were collected during three flow categories (rising stage and falling stage of stormflow and base flow) at 18 sites on 11 streams. The degree of urbanization is indicated by grouping the...
