Streamflow characteristics and trends along Soldier Creek, Northeast Kansas Streamflow characteristics and trends along Soldier Creek, Northeast Kansas
Historical data for six selected U.S. Geological Survey streamgages along Soldier Creek in northeast Kansas were used in an assessment of streamflow characteristics and trends. This information is required by the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation for the effective management of tribal water resources, including drought contingency planning. Streamflow data for the period of record at each...

Streamflow alteration at selected sites in Kansas Streamflow alteration at selected sites in Kansas
An understanding of streamflow alteration in response to various disturbances is necessary for the effective management of stream habitat for a variety of species in Kansas. Streamflow alteration can have negative ecological effects. Using a modeling approach, streamflow alteration was assessed for 129 selected U.S. Geological Survey streamgages in the State for which requisite...

Mining-related sediment and soil contamination in a large Superfund site: Characterization, habitat implications, and remediation Mining-related sediment and soil contamination in a large Superfund site: Characterization, habitat implications, and remediation
Historical mining activity (1850–1970) in the now inactive Tri-State Mining District provided an ongoing source of lead and zinc to the environment including the US Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site located in Cherokee County, southeast Kansas, USA. The resultant contamination adversely affected biota and caused human health problems and risks. Remediation in the Superfund...

Quantifying suspended sediment loads delivered to Cheney Reservoir, Kansas: Temporal patterns and management implications Quantifying suspended sediment loads delivered to Cheney Reservoir, Kansas: Temporal patterns and management implications
Cheney Reservoir, constructed during 1962 to 1965, is the primary water supply for the city of Wichita, the largest city in Kansas. Sediment is an important concern for the reservoir as it degrades water quality and progressively decreases water storage capacity. Long-term data collection provided a unique opportunity to estimate the annual suspended sediment loads for the entire history...

The aging of America's reservoirs: In-reservoir and downstream physical changes and habitat implications The aging of America's reservoirs: In-reservoir and downstream physical changes and habitat implications
Reservoirs are important for various purposes including flood control, water supply, power generation, and recreation. The aging of America's reservoirs and progressive loss of water storage capacity resulting from ongoing sedimentation, coupled with increasing societal needs, will cause the social, economic, environmental, and political importance of reservoirs to continually increase...
