Lake Worth bottom sediments : A chronicle of water-quality changes in western Fort Worth, Texas, 1914-2001 Lake Worth bottom sediments : A chronicle of water-quality changes in western Fort Worth, Texas, 1914-2001
In spring 2000, the Texas Department of Health issued a fish-consumption advisory for Lake Worth, Tex., because of elevated concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in fish (Texas Department of Health, 2000). In response to the advisory and in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected 21 surficial samples and three deeper gravity core...

Estimating flood-peak discharge magnitudes and frequencies for rural streams in Illinois Estimating flood-peak discharge magnitudes and frequencies for rural streams in Illinois
Flood-peak discharge magnitudes and frequencies at streamflow-gaging sites were developed with the annual maximum series (AMS) and the partial duration series (PDS) in this study. Regional equations for both flood series were developed for estimating flood-peak discharge magnitudes at specified recurrence intervals of rural Illinois streams. The regional equations are techniques for...

Immunoassay screening of sediment cores for polychlorinated biphenyls, Devil's Swamp Lake near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 2004 Immunoassay screening of sediment cores for polychlorinated biphenyls, Devil's Swamp Lake near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 2004
Devil’s Swamp Lake near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, constructed by dredging in 1973 in Devil’s Swamp along the Mississippi River, is contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). This study investigated the possible historical contribution of PCBs from a hazardous-chemical disposal facility by way of a wastewater drainage ditch that operated from 1971 to 1993. Six sediment cores from...

Water resources data, North Carolina, water year 2003. Volume 1A: Surface-water records Water resources data, North Carolina, water year 2003. Volume 1A: Surface-water records
Water-resources data for the 2003 water year for North Carolina consist of records of stage, discharge, water quality for streams; stage and contents for lakes and reservoirs; precipitation; and ground-water levels and water quality of ground water. Volume 1 contains discharge records for 213 gaging stations; stage for 61 gaging stations; and continuous precipitation at 118 sites. Volume...

Water: Essential resource of the southern Flint River Basin, Georgia Water: Essential resource of the southern Flint River Basin, Georgia
Introduction Abundant water resources of the Flint River Basin have played a major role in the history and development of southwestern Georgia. The Flint River-along with its tributaries, wetlands, and swamps-and the productive aquifers of the river basin are essential components of the area's diverse ecosystems. These resources also are necessary for sustained agricultural, industrial...

An autonomous, electromagnetic seepage meter to study coastal groundwater/surface-water exchange An autonomous, electromagnetic seepage meter to study coastal groundwater/surface-water exchange
The bi-directional exchange of groundwater with coastal surface waters may influence not only coastal-water and geochemical budgets, but may also impact and direct coastal ecosystem change. For example, the widespread discharge of nutrient-enriched submarine groundwater into an estuary or lagoon may contribute directly to the onset and duration of eutrophication, as well as the...
