Iowa ground-water quality Iowa ground-water quality
The population served by ground-water supplies in Iowa (fig. L4) is estimated to be about 2,392,000, or 82 percent of the total population (U.S. Geological Survey, 1985, p. 211). The population of Iowa is distributed fairly uniformly throughout the State (fig. IB), with 59 percent residing in rural areas or towns of less than 10,000 (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1982). Surficial aquifers...

Organochlorine chemical residues in bluegills and common carp from the irrigated San Joaquin Valley floor, California Organochlorine chemical residues in bluegills and common carp from the irrigated San Joaquin Valley floor, California
Samples of bluegills (Lepomis macrochirus) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) collected from the San Joaquin River and two tributaries (Merced River and Salt Slough) in California were analyzed for 21 organochlorine chemical residues by gas chromatography to determine if pesticide contamination was confined to downstream sites exposed to irrigated agriculture, or if nonirrigated upstream...

Larval settlement into marine soft-sediment systems: Interactions with the meiofauna Larval settlement into marine soft-sediment systems: Interactions with the meiofauna
The distribution and abundance of organisms exhibiting complex life cycles, like marine invertebrates, reflect ecological processes operating at all stages in the life history. Few studies have yet considered the mortality patterns of larvae and juveniles. To test whether the permanent meiofauna play a role in macrofaunal larval site-selection, and/or if permanent meiofaunal predators or

Floods in the Floyd River basin, Iowa Floods in the Floyd River basin, Iowa
Flood elevation profiles and flood peak discharges for the floods of 1953, 1962, 1973, and 1983 in the Floyd River basin are given in this report. The profiles cover the Floyd and West Branch Floyd Rivers. The 1953 flood is the greatest known on the Floyd River since at least 1892.
