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...

Encephalization quotients and life-history traits in the Sirenia Encephalization quotients and life-history traits in the Sirenia

Relative brain size in the Sirenia is unusually small. Encephalization quotients are 0.27 for Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus) and 0.38 for dugongs (Dugong dugon). Estimates for Steller's sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas) range from 0.12 to 0.19. These values are among the lowest known for Recent mammals, and seemingly have changed little since the Eocene. A body plan specialized for the...

National contaminant biomonitoring program: Residues of organochlorine chemicals in U.S. Freshwater Fish, 1976–1984 National contaminant biomonitoring program: Residues of organochlorine chemicals in U.S. Freshwater Fish, 1976–1984

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service periodically determines concentrations of organochlorine chemicals in freshwater fish collected from a nationwide network of stations as part of the National Contaminant Biomonitoring Program (NCBP, formerly a part of the National Pesticide Monitoring Program). From late 1984 to early 1985, a total of 321 composite fish samples were collected from 112...

Flood frequency of the Savannah River at Augusta, Georgia Flood frequency of the Savannah River at Augusta, Georgia

To fill an increasing need for reliable information on floods of various recurrence intervals on the Savannah River a flood-frequency relation was developed for the long-term gaging station at Augusta, Georgia. The flood-frequency analysis was complicated by the fact that the Savannah River upstream of Augusta has experienced increasing regulation of flow caused by three large dams...

Hydrogeology of aquifers in Cretaceous and younger rocks in the vicinity of Onslow and southern Jones counties, North Carolina Hydrogeology of aquifers in Cretaceous and younger rocks in the vicinity of Onslow and southern Jones counties, North Carolina

Unconsolidated sediments in Onslow and Jones Counties, North Carolina overlie crystalline basement rocks and range in thickness from about 700 ft to more than 1,800 ft, thickening toward the east. This material is composed of permeable sand and limestone interlayered with relatively impermeable clay and silt beds. Sediments are divided into two groups: aquifers in Quaternary-, and...
