Low-flow characteristics of streams in North Carolina Low-flow characteristics of streams in North Carolina

Ten low-flow hydrologic areas were defined for North Carolina by relating topography, geology, mean annual runoff, and other features to low-flow frequency characteristics for 122 continuous-record streamflow stations and 396 partial-record streamflow stations. Regression equations relating low-flow characteristics to mean annual discharge were developed for five of the hydrologic areas...

Atrazine degradation in a small stream in Iowa Atrazine degradation in a small stream in Iowa

A study was conducted during 1990 through an 11.2-km reach of Roberts Creek in northeastern Iowa to determine the fate of atrazine in a surface water environment Water samples were collected at ~1-month intervals from April through November during stable low to medium flow conditions and analyzed for atrazine and two of its initial biotic degradation products, desethylatrazine and

Use of mesocosm data to predict effects in aquatic ecosystems: Limits to interpretation: Chapter 16 Use of mesocosm data to predict effects in aquatic ecosystems: Limits to interpretation: Chapter 16

Aquatic mesocosm studies are being used to refute a presumption of risk derived from laboratory toxicity tests conducted under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Mesocosm studies incorporate many biological, chemical and physical characteristics of natural ecosystems. Hence, they serve as realistic surrogates of natural ecosystems and allow tests of...

Reconnaissance investigation of the geology and hydrogeology of Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas Reconnaissance investigation of the geology and hydrogeology of Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas

An investigation at Lackland Air Force Base and Lackland Air Force Base Training Annex (Medina Base) was conducted from May to September 1988 to delineate the subsurface geology, to describe the hydrogeology within the study area, and to determine possible migration pathways for contaminants. Data from this investigation supplement data collected in conjunction with other Air Training...
