Estimated rate of recharge in outcrops of the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers near Houston, Texas Estimated rate of recharge in outcrops of the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers near Houston, Texas
During 1989-90, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, conducted a field study to determine the depth to the water table and to estimate the rate of recharge in outcrops of the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers near Houston, Texas. The study area (fig. 1) comprises about 2,000 square miles of outcrops of the Chicot and...

Investigation into avian mortality in the Playa Lakes region of southeastern New Mexico: Final Report - June 1997 Investigation into avian mortality in the Playa Lakes region of southeastern New Mexico: Final Report - June 1997
This Final Report is a review of work on a cooperative study undertaken by the USGS Biological Resources Division's National Wildlife Health Center (NWHC) and National Wetlands Research Center (NWRC; formerly the Southern Science Center) from 1994 through 1997. The study was initiated at the request of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), through a request to the former National...

Acute toxicity of fire-retardant and foam-suppressant chemicals to yalella azteca (Saussure) Acute toxicity of fire-retardant and foam-suppressant chemicals to yalella azteca (Saussure)
Acute toxicity tests were conducted with Hyalella azteca Saussure (an amphipod) exposed in soft and hard waters to three fire retardants (Fire-Trol GTS-R, Fire-Trol LCG-R, and Phos-Chek D75-F) and two foam suppressants (Phos-Chek WD-881 and Silv-Ex). The chemicals were slightly to moderately toxic to amphipods. The most toxic chemical to amphipods in soft and hard water was Phos-Chek WD...

Cutthroat trout avoidance of metals and conditions characteristic of a mining waste site: Coeur d'Alene River, Idaho Cutthroat trout avoidance of metals and conditions characteristic of a mining waste site: Coeur d'Alene River, Idaho
The South Fork basin of the Coeur d'Alene River, Idaho has been an area of heavy mining activity since the 1880s. The mining operations have resulted in elevated concentrations of metals in surface water, most notably cadmium, lead, zinc, and, to a lesser extent, copper. The metals affected surface water quality downstream in the Coeur d'Alene basin and are suspected to be one of the...

Seasonal distribution, movements and habitat associations of northern squawfish in two Lower Columbia River reservoirs Seasonal distribution, movements and habitat associations of northern squawfish in two Lower Columbia River reservoirs
We tracked 335 northern squawfish implanted with radio transmitters in the Columbia River in May–December 1993 and May–September 1994. Most fish were released near The Dalles and John Day dams, with the remaining fish released into reservoir areas away from dams. We used boats with mounted Yagi antennas, fixed site receiver stations near the dams and aerial surveys to track movements of...

Chemical evolution and estimated flow velocity of water in the Trinity Aquifer, south-central Texas Chemical evolution and estimated flow velocity of water in the Trinity Aquifer, south-central Texas
Three permeable zones with varying lithology and water chemistry compose the Trinity aquifer, a principal source of water in the 5,500- square-mile study area in south-central Texas. The upper permeable zone locally yields small quantities of water to wells and was not included in this study. The middle permeable zone primarily is composed of limestone with minor amounts of dolostone...
