Most surface-water-quality sites have small or medium drainage basins, near-homogenous land uses (primarily agricultural or forest), and are located predominantly in the Springfield and Salem Plateaus. The water-quality data were analyzed using selected descriptive and statistical methods to determine factors affecting occurrence in streams in the study unit. \r\n\r\nNitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer use increased in the Ozark Plateaus study unit for the period 1965-85, but the application rates are well below the national median. Fertilizer use differed substantially among the major river basins and physiographic areas in the study unit. Livestock and poultry waste is a major source of nutrient loading in parts of the study unit. The quantity of nitrogen and phosphorus from livestock and poultry wastes differed substantially among the river basins of the study unit's sampling network. Eighty six municipal sewage-treatment plants in the study unit have effluents of 0.5 million gallons per day or more (for the years 1985-91). \r\n\r\nStatistically significant differences existed in surface-water quality that can be attributed to land use, physiography, and drainage basin size. Dissolved nitrite plus nitrate, total phosphorus, fecal coliform bacteria, and dissolved organic carbon concentrations generally were larger at sites associated with agricultural basins than at sites associated with forested basins. A large difference in dissolved nitrite plus nitrate concentrations occurred between streams draining basins with agricultural land use in the Springfield and Salem Plateaus. Streams draining both small and medium agricultural basins in the Springfield Plateau had much larger concentrations than their counterparts in the Salem Plateau. Drainage basin size was not a significant factor in affecting total phosphorus, fecal coliform bacteria, or dissolved organic carbon concentrations. Suspended-sediment concentrations generally were small and indicative of the clear water in streams in the Ozark Plateaus. \r\n\r\nA comparison of the dissolved nitrite plus nitrate, total phosphorus, and fecal coliform data collected at the fixed and synoptic sites indicates that generally the data for streams draining basins of similar physiography, land-use setting, and drainage basin size group together. Many of the variations are most likely the result of differences in percent agricultural land use between the sites being compared or are discharge related. The relation of dissolved nitrite plus nitrate, total phosphorus, and fecal coliform concentration to percent agricultural land use has a strong positive 2 Water-Quality Assessment-Nutrients, Bacteria, Organic Carbon, and Suspended Sediment in Surface Water, 1993-95 correlation, with percent agricultural land use accounting for between 42 and 60 percent of the variation in the observed concentrations.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wri984164","usgsCitation":"Davis, J., and Bell, R.W., 1998, Water-quality assessment of the Ozark Plateaus study unit, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma — Nutrients, bacteria, organic carbon, and suspended sediment in surface water, 1993-95: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4164, vi, 56 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri984164.","productDescription":"vi, 56 p.","costCenters":[{"id":396,"text":"Missouri Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":158462,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/usgs_thumb.jpg"},{"id":2071,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.water.usgs.gov/wri98-4164/","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}},{"id":392988,"rank":3,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_49012.htm"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma","otherGeospatial":"Ozark Plateaus study unit","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -95.3333,\n              35.6333\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.2333,\n              35.6333\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.2333,\n              38.6500\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.3333,\n              38.6500\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.3333,\n              35.6333\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49e5e4b07f02db5e6e20","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Davis, Jerri V. jdavis@usgs.gov","contributorId":2667,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Davis","given":"Jerri V.","email":"jdavis@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":396,"text":"Missouri Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":196941,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bell, Richard W.","contributorId":44141,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bell","given":"Richard","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":196942,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The concentrations range from 137 to 1,270 micrograms per kilogram in the open-water environment and 73.8 to 1,900 micrograms per kilogram in the saltmarsh environment. In the surface-sample-depth zones among all sediment environments, total mercury concentrations typically are largest in the open-water environment and smallest in the dredged-spoil and salt-marsh environments.</p>\n<p>Open-water sample areas 1&ndash;01, 1&ndash;02 (middle Lavaca Bay), and 1&ndash;06 (upper Matagorda Bay) have median total mercury concentrations in all three sample-depth zones (0 to 2, 10 to 20, and 20 to 50 centimeters) greater than detection limits. Median concentrations for the different depth zones in the three sample areas range from 30.5 to 705 micrograms per kilogram.</p>\n<p>Statistical tests indicate that in all three sample-depth zones in open-water sediments, median total mercury concentrations in some sample areas are significantly different from median total mercury concentrations in other sample areas. Another statistical test indicates that the variance in concentrations of open-water samples collected within 10 meters of each other is the same as the variance in concentrations of samples collected randomly within each 1 square kilometer. However, the degree to which a probable lack of independence among the closely spaced data affects the test result is not known.</p>\n<p>Rank correlation coefficients between total mercury concentration and grain-size fractions (percentages of sand, silt, clay, and silt plus clay) and between total mercury concentration and total organic carbon concentration for open-water sample areas indicate that total mercury concentration has a significant positive correlation with clay percentage in 4 of the 8 open-water sample areas. In 6 of the 8 open-water sample areas, total mercury concentration has a significant positive correlation with silt-plus-clay percentage and total organic carbon concentration.</p>\n<p>The use of a technique known as kriging to estimate total mercury concentrations at unmeasured sites on the basis of sampling sites where mercury concentrations are measured in openwater sediments in the 0- to 2-centimeter sampledepth zone was explored.

The study area includes a headwaters hydroelectric project area, a Wild and Scenic reach in the main stem immediately downstream, and the watersheds of several major tributaries. Additional data from previous investigations are reviewed, and impacts on water quality in the Wild and Scenic reach from resource management, including forestry and reservoir operations, are inferred where sufficient data exist.</p>\n<p>Water-quality standards were occasionally exceeded for dissolved oxygen and pH, and daily maximum stream temperatures in the Wild and Scenic reach were higher than both the 1996 standard for the State of Oregon and the optimal temperature ranges for many anadromous fish. Dissolved oxygen in the basin was controlled more by stream temperature and reaeration than by primary production. Arsenic concentrations in the river during low flow (1 &micro;g/L [microgram per liter]) indicate a potential cancer risk of between 1:5,000 and 1:20,000 for people using the river as a source of drinking water and fish for consumption. Streambed-sediment concentrations of arsenic, chromium, copper, manganese, and nickel were approximately double the sediment-quality criteria values adopted by New York State and by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.</p>\n<p>High concentrations of phosphorus in bed sediments indicated that much of the phosphorus observed in the water column throughout the basin (medians: 32, 9, and 50 &micro;g/L in the main stem, tributaries, and hydroelectric project areas, respectively) could have been geologically derived. Inorganic and organic nitrogen concentrations in water were mostly below minimum reporting limits (5 and 200 &micro;g/L, respectively), indicating severe nitrogen limitation at most locations.</p>\n<p>Benthic algal biomass, biovolume, and chlorophyll <i>a</i> concentrations were highest at the sites directly below impoundments and at one headwater tributary (medians: 46 grams per square meter, 821 million cubic micrometers per square centimeter, and 126 milligrams per square meter, respectively), and were also somewhat elevated downstream in the Wild and Scenic reach compared with those in similar streams in the Pacific Northwest. Classification of the algal taxa indicated that, among all sites sampled, alkaliphilic taxa, nitrogen fixing taxa, and eutrophic taxa were the most abundant on the basis of biovolume and density. Cold-water taxa, facultative nitrogen heterotrophs, and oligotrophic taxa constituted the remainder of the taxa. Multivariate analyses indicated that algal communities at the hydroelectric-project-affected sites were distinct from communities at sites on the main stem and Steamboat Creek. At many locations, the river&rsquo;s algal community might be compensating for the low nitrogen concentrations by fixation of atmospheric nitrogen or through heterotrophic assimilation of organic nitrogen.</p>\n<p>Water quality in the Wild and Scenic reach is dominated by water released from the hydroelectric project area during summer. Effects of the hydroelectric project include seasonal control of streamflow, water temperature, and phosphorus concentrations, and the possible release of low but ecologically important concentrations of organic nitrogen. A review of available data and literature suggests that the reservoirs can increase the interception of sediments and large organic debris, and promote their conversion into fine-grained particulate and dissolved organic matter for downstream transport. These effects could be compounded by the effects of forestry in the basin, including alteration of hydrologic cycles, changes in sediment and nutrient runoff, reductions of the transport of large woody debris, and degradation of habitat quality. It is hypothesized that, in the North Umpqua River, these processes have induced a fundamental shift in the river&rsquo;s food web, from a detritus-based system to a system with a 2 higher emphasis on algal production. Confirmation of these changes and their effects on higher trophic levels are needed to properly manage the aquatic resources for all designated beneficial uses in the basin.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Portland, OR","doi":"10.3133/wri984125","usgsCitation":"Anderson, C., and Carpenter, K., 1998, Water-quality and algal conditions in the North Umpqua River Basin, Oregon, 1992-95, and implications for resource management: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4125, Report: xiii, 78 p.; 1 Plate: 32.01 x 14.00 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/wri984125.","productDescription":"Report: xiii, 78 p.; 1 Plate: 32.01 x 14.00 inches","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"Y","costCenters":[{"id":518,"text":"Oregon Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":158127,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/wri984125.PNG"},{"id":391103,"rank":4,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_48987.htm"},{"id":311178,"rank":3,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4125/plate-1.pdf","text":"Plate 1","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"Plate 1"},{"id":308345,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4125/report.pdf","text":"Report","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"Report"}],"country":"United States","state":"Oregon","otherGeospatial":"North Umpqua River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -122,\n              43.1667\n            ],\n            [\n              -123.250,\n              43.1667\n            ],\n            [\n              -123.250,\n              43.4167\n            ],\n            [\n              -122,\n              43.4167\n            ],\n            [\n              -122,\n              43.1667\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49e6e4b07f02db5e72c7","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Anderson, Chauncey W. 0000-0002-1016-3781 chauncey@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1016-3781","contributorId":1151,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Anderson","given":"Chauncey W.","email":"chauncey@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":518,"text":"Oregon Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":195480,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Carpenter, Kurt D. kdcar@usgs.gov","contributorId":1372,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Carpenter","given":"Kurt D.","email":"kdcar@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":518,"text":"Oregon Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":195481,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The study was conducted as part of an ongoing evaluation of ground-water contamination at the NAWC. Caliper, natural-gamma, single-point resistance, fluid resistivity, and fluid temperature logs and borehole television surveys were run in the supply wells, which range in depth from 242 to 560 ft (feet). Acoustic borehole televiewer and borehole deviation logs were run in two of the wells. The direction and rate of borehole-fluid movement under non-pumping conditions were measured with a high-resolution heatpulse flowmeter. The logs were used to locate water-bearing fractures, determine probable zones of vertical borehole-fluid movement, and determine the depth to set packers. An aquifer test was conducted in each well to determine open-hole specific capacity and the effect of pumping the open borehole on water levels in nearby wells. Specific capacities ranged from 0.21 to 1.7 (gal/min)/ft (gallons per minute per foot) of drawdown. Aquifer-isolation tests were conducted in each well to determine depth-discrete specific capacities and to determine the effect of pumping an individual fracture or fracture zone on water levels in nearby wells. Specific capacities of individual fractures and fracture zones ranged from 0 to 2.3 (gal/min)/ft. Most fractures identified as water-producing or water-receiving zones by borehole geophysical methods produced water when isolated and pumped. All hydrologically active fractures below 250 ft below land surface were identified as water-receiving zones and produced little water when isolated and pumped. In the two wells greater then 540 ft deep, downward borehole flow to the deep water-receiving fractures is caused by a large difference in head (as much as greater then 49 ft) between water-bearing fractured in the upper and lower part of the borehole. Vertical distribution of specific capacity between land surface and 250 ft below land surface is not related to depth.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/wri984129","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Navy","usgsCitation":"Sloto, R.A., and Grazul, K.E., 1998, Results of borehole geophysical logging and hydraulic tests conducted in Area D supply wells, former U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center, Warminster, Pennsylvania: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4129, vi, 47 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri984129.","productDescription":"vi, 47 p.","costCenters":[{"id":532,"text":"Pennsylvania Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":2491,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4129/wri19984129.pdf","text":"Report","size":"554 KB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"WRI 1998-4129"},{"id":159670,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4129/coverthb.jpg"}],"contact":"<p><a href=\"dc_pa@usgs.gov\" data-mce-href=\"dc_pa@usgs.gov\">Director</a>, <a href=\"https://pa.water.usgs.gov/\" data-mce-href=\"https://pa.water.usgs.gov/\">Pennsylvania Water Science Center</a><br> U.S. Geological Survey<br> 215 Limekiln Road<br> New Cumberland, PA 17070</p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Abstract</li><li>Introduction</li><li>Methods of investigation</li><li>Supply well SW-1</li><li>Supply well SW-2</li><li>Supply well SW-3</li><li>Supply well SW-4</li><li>Summary and conclusions</li><li>References cited</li></ul>","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a4ae4b07f02db624830","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sloto, Ronald A. rasloto@usgs.gov","contributorId":424,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sloto","given":"Ronald","email":"rasloto@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":532,"text":"Pennsylvania Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":202119,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Grazul, Kevin E.","contributorId":97950,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Grazul","given":"Kevin","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":202120,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

PCB concentrations in common carp and walleye fillets collected from rivers in the UMIS during 1975-95 by the Minnesota Fish Contaminant Monitoring Program (MFCMP) and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) were analyzed. PCBs in fish tissue are of concern because PCBs are potentially toxic, teratogenic, and are linked to poor fetal development and endocrine disruption in fish and other animals including humans, that consume fish. This summary was part of an analysis of historical data for the Upper Mississippi River (UMIS) study unit of the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program. The UMIS study unit is a 47,000 square-mile basin that includes the drainage of the Mississippi River upstream of the outlet of Lake Pepin and encompasses the Twin Cities metropolitan area. PCB concentrations for individual samples at all sites ranged from 0.07 to 33.0 milligrams per kilograms (mg/kg) for common carp and from 0.07 to 9.8 mg/kg for walleye during 1975-95. During 1975-79 and 1980-87, 10 and 4 percent of walleye samples and 45 and 36 percent of common carp samples, respectively, exceeded the U.S. Food and Drug Administration guideline of 2 mg/kg PCB in fish tissue. PCB concentrations in individual common carp and walleye samples were below 2 mg/kg after 1987. Median PCB concentrations at individual sites and within stream segments were generally greatest in common carp and walleye from Mississippi River segments in the TCMA during 1975-79 and 1980-87. There was a significant difference among lipid-normalized PCB (LNPCB) concentrations in common carp, considering all stream segments combined, during all three time periods (1975-79, 1980-87, and 1988-95). LNPCB concentrations in common carp and walleye at those stream segments upstream or outside the TCMA were generally lower than those in UMR segments within the TCMA. The spatial distribution of PCB and LNPCB concentrations in common carp and walleye correspond with historical point- and non point-source PCB inputs in the densely populated TCMA, and concentrations in fish were greater in areas that historically had elevated PCB concentrations in bed sediment.</div>\n<div class=\"Body\">Median PCB concentrations in common carp and walleye at individual sites were greatest during 1975-79 and 1980-87, and least during 1988-95 at most sites. Most of the river segments exhibited over 80 percent decline in median PCB concentrations in common carp and walleye between the 1975-79 and 1988-95 time periods. The results from these temporal analyses were similar to those of other studies in the United States and in Minnesota and Wisconsin that reported a significant downward trend in PCB concentrations in fish. Although, PCB concentrations have decreased during 1975-95, low concentrations of PCBs still remain in the aquatic environment despite the fact that PCBs were banned nearly 20 years ago.</div>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Mounds View, MN","doi":"10.3133/wri984126","usgsCitation":"Lee, K., and Anderson, J.P., 1998, Water-quality

The upper, riverine portion of Lake Hickory was unstratified during much of the study period. Downstream from the headwaters to Oxford Dam, Lake Hickory thermally stratified during the summer of 1993. During stratification, releases from Rhodhiss Dam plunged beneath the warmer surface waters of Lake Hickory and moved through the reservoir as interflow. During fall and winter, Lake Hickory was characterized by alternating periods of mixing and weak stratification.\r\n\r\nWater-quality conditions in the headwaters of Lake Hickory were largely driven by conditions in water being released from Rhodhiss Dam. In general, water clarity increased, and concentrations of suspended solids, phosphorus, and summertime chlorophyll a decreased in a downstream direction from the headwaters of Lake Hickory to Oxford Dam. Two chlorophyll a samples from the upper portion of Lake Hickory exceeded the North Carolina water-quality standard of 40 micrograms per liter during the investigation. Downstream from the headwaters, dissolved oxygen was rapidly depleted from Lake Hickory bottom waters beginning in May 1993, and anoxic conditions persisted in the hypolimnion throughout the summer. During summer stratification, concentrations of nitrite plus nitrate, ammonia, and orthophosphate were low in the epilimnion, but concentrations of ammonia near the bottom of the reservoir increased as the hypolimnion became anoxic.\r\n\r\nConcentrations of fecal coliform bacteria exceeded 200 colonies per 100 milliliters in only one of 60 samples collected from Lake Hickory. In contrast, concentrations of fecal coliform bacteria exceeded 200 colonies per 100 milliliters in 40 percent of samples collected from the Upper Little River, and in 60 percent of samples collected from the Middle Little River, two tributaries to Lake Hickory.\r\n\r\nLoad estimates for the period April 1993 through March 1994 indicated that releases from Rhodhiss Dam accounted for most of the suspended solids, nitrogen, and phosphorus entering the headwaters of Lake Hickory. Loads of nitrogen and phosphorus from point-source discharges were potentially important, but loads of suspended solids from these discharges were insignificant relative to other sources.\r\n\r\nThe CE-QUAL-W2 model was applied to Lake Hickory from the U.S. Highway 321 bridge to Oxford Dam?a distance of 22 kilometers?and was calibrated by using data collected from April 1993 through March 1994. During the simulation period, measured water levels varied a total of 1.14 meters, and water temperatures ranged from 4 to 31 degrees Celsius. The calibrated model provided good agreement between measured and simulated water levels at Oxford Dam. Likewise, simulated water temperatures were generally within 1 degree Celsius of measured values; however, water temperatures were oversimulated for the fall of 1993. Simulated dissolved oxygen concentrations generally agreed with measurements; however, the model tended to oversimulate dissolved oxygen concentrations during the late summer and early fall. There was good agreement between simulated and measured frequency of occurrence of dissolved oxygen concentrations less than 4 milligrams per liter.\r\n\r\nSimulations of tracer dye releases demonstrated the effects of stratification on dilution and rate of transport in Lake Hickory. Simulations were made of the effects of changes in nutrient loads from inflows and from bottom sediments. A simulated 30-percent reduction in inflow concentrations of orthophosphate, ammonia, and nitrate at the U.S. Highway 321 bridge delayed the initial springtime pulse of algal growth by about 2 weeks, but had little effect on dissolved oxygen concentrations. Likewise, a reduction in the release rate of orthophosphate and ammonia from bottom sediments had very little effect on simulated algae","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wri984149","usgsCitation":"Bales, J., and Giorgino, M., 1998, Lake Hickory, North Carolina: Analysis of ambient conditions and simulation of hydrodynamics, constituent transport, and water-quality characteristics, 1993-94: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4149, vi, 62 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri984149.","productDescription":"vi, 62 p.","costCenters":[{"id":13634,"text":"South Atlantic Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":395424,"rank":3,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_49002.htm"},{"id":158471,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4149/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":95576,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4149/report.pdf","size":"20471","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"country":"United States","state":"North Carolina","otherGeospatial":"Lake Hickory, Rhodhiss Dam","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -81.7657470703125,\n              35.567980458012094\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.8756103515625,\n              35.536696378395035\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.0074462890625,\n              35.572448615622804\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.0623779296875,\n              35.585851593232356\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.16812133789062,\n              35.54060755592023\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.22579956054688,\n              35.59255224089235\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.24159240722656,\n              35.65729624809628\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.20794677734374,\n              35.74818410650582\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.08915710449219,\n              35.801664652427895\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.02598571777344,\n              35.81001773806242\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.96418762207031,\n              35.821153818963175\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.95594787597656,\n              35.92019610057511\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.95182800292969,\n              35.98078444581272\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.903076171875,\n              36.053540128339755\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.8536376953125,\n              36.05798104702501\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.76712036132812,\n              36.055760619006755\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.71905517578125,\n              36.04021586880111\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.66824340820312,\n              35.98245135784044\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.5679931640625,\n              35.9157474194997\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.31393432617188,\n              35.95911138558121\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.26998901367188,\n              36.03244234269516\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.19171142578125,\n              36.0779620797358\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.08322143554688,\n              36.06353184297193\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.79620361328125,\n              35.89350026142572\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.71929931640624,\n              35.69299463209881\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.7275390625,\n              35.53110865111194\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.8978271484375,\n              35.46514408578589\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.12648010253906,\n              35.460669951495305\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.2384033203125,\n              35.567980458012094\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.3922119140625,\n              35.58138418324621\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.595458984375,\n              35.59925232772949\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.7657470703125,\n              35.567980458012094\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b27e4b07f02db6b0f3c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bales, J.

Data obtained during these synoptic investigations provide a one-time look at the streamflow and water-quality conditions in the Big Black Creek Basin during a stable, base-flow period when streamflow originated only from ground-water discharge. These data were used to assess the degree of water-quality degradation in the Big Black Creek Basin from land-use activities in the basin, including leakage of leachate from the Acmar Regional Land- fill. Biological data from the benthic invertebrate community investigation provided an assessment of the cumulative effects of stream conditions on organisms in the basin.\r\nThe synoptic measurement of streamflow at 28 sites was made during a period of baseflow on August 27, 1997. Two stream reaches above the landfill lost water to the ground-water system, but those below the landfill had significantly higher ground-water gains. If significant leakage of leachate from the landfill had occurred during the measurement period, the distribution of ground-water discharge suggests that leachate would travel relatively short distances before resurfacing as ground-water discharge to the stream.\r\nBenthic invertebrate communities were sampled at four sites in the Big Black Creek Basin during July 16-17, 1997. Based on Alabama Department of Environmental Management criteria and on comparison with a nearby unimparied reference site, the benthic invertebrate communities at the sites sampled were considered unimpaired or only slightly impaired during the sample period. This would imply that landfill and coal-mining activities did not have a detrimental effect on the benthic invertebrate communities at the time of the study.\r\nSynoptic water-column samples were collected at nine sites on Big Black Creek and its tributaries at the same time that the synoptic streamflow measurements were made. Trace-element and organic compound concentrations in the stream water were below established water-quality standards and criteria for the State of Alabama, with the exception of secondary (aesthetic) drinking-water levels for iron and manganese. Oil and grease concentrations detected in bed sediments were below the corrective action limit of 100 milligrams per kilogram. No significant increases in chloride, specific conductance, total dissolved solids, oil and grease, color, or biochemical oxygen demand were observed at sites downgradient from the landfill.\r\nGround-water samples were collected from three drive-point wells in the vicinity of the landfill. These samples were analyzed for a suite of volatile organic compounds. The solvent 1,1-dichloroethane (the same solvent detected in the ground-water monitoring system at the landfill) was detected in a sample from a drive-point well downgradient from the landfill--an indication of the potential risk of landfill-derived contamination migrating toward Big Black Creek.\r\nNo distinguishing trend or pattern of contamination was identified that could be attributed solely to landfill activities. Landfill activities did not appear to contribute significant contamination to Big Black Creek during these streamflow conditions. Any contaminant contribution from coal-mining activities in the basin may have served to mask any leachate contributions from the landfill; however, the overall effects on stream water and benthic intervebrate communities apparently were only minimal.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Dept. of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey ;\r\nBranch of Information Services [distributor],","doi":"10.3133/wri984127","usgsCitation":"Journey, C.A., Clark, A., and Stricklin, V.E., 1998, Streamflow, water-quality, and biological conditions in the Big Black Creek basin, St. Clair County, Alabama, 1997: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4127, iv, 52 p. :ill., maps; 28 cm.; 14 illus.; 11 plates; 13 tables, https://doi.org/10.3133/wri984127.","productDescription":"iv, 52 p. :ill., maps; 28 cm.; 14 illus.; 11 plates; 13 tables","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":95688,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4127/report.pdf","size":"8483","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":158740,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4127/report-thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b15e4b07f02db6a4c8c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Journey, Celeste A. 0000-0002-2284-5851 cjourney@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2284-5851","contributorId":2617,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Journey","given":"Celeste","email":"cjourney@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":13634,"text":"South Atlantic Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":559,"text":"South Carolina Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":198942,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Clark, Amy E.","contributorId":29469,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Clark","given":"Amy E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":198943,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Stricklin, Victor E.","contributorId":69193,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stricklin","given":"Victor","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":198944,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

At each lake, heads were monitored in the surficial aquifer system and deeper Upper Floridan aquifer, lake stage and rainfall were measured continuously, and lakes and wells were sampled three times between October 1995 and December 1996. The water-budget approach computes net ground-water flow (ground-water inflow minus outflow) as the residual of the monthly waterbudget equation. Net ground-water flow varied seasonally at each of the 10 lakes, and was notably different between lakes, illustrating short-term differences in ground-water fluxes. Monthly patterns in net ground-water flow were related to monthly patterns of other hydrologic variables such as rainfall, ground-water flow patterns, and head differences between the lake and the Upper Floridan aquifer. The chemical mass-balance approach combines the water budget and solute or isotope mass-balance equations, and assumes steady-state conditions. Naturally occurring tracers that were analyzed for include calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and bromide, the isotopes deuterium and oxygen-18. Chloride and sodium were the most successful solute tracers; however, their concentrations in ground water typically varied spatially, and in places were similar to that in lake water, limiting their sensitivity as tracers. In contrast, the isotopes were more robust tracers because the isotopic composition of ground water was relatively uniform and was distinctly different from the lake water. Groundwater inflow computed using the chemical massbalance method varied significantly between lakes, and ranged from less than 10 to more than 150 inches per year. Both water-budget and chemical mass-balance approaches had limitations, but the multiple lines of evidence gained using both approaches improved the understanding of the role of ground water in the water budget of the lakes.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Dept. of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey ;\r\nBranch of Information Services [distributor],","doi":"10.3133/wri984133","usgsCitation":"Sacks, L.A., Swancar, A., and Lee, T.M., 1998, Estimating ground-water exchange with lakes using water-budget and chemical mass-balance approaches for ten lakes in ridge areas of Polk and Highlands counties, Florida: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4133, v, 52 p. :ill., maps ;28 cm.

Water-level measurements were made in 24 wells completed in the Nacatoch Sand and 18 wells completed in the Tokio Forma tion from August through October 1996 to pro duce potentiometric-surface maps.\r\nThe direction of ground-water flow in aquifers in the Nacatoch Sand and Tokio Formation generally is to the south-southeast or southeast. Potentiometric highs for both aquifers are in the outcrop areas. The aquifer in the Tokio Formation has artesian flow in southeastern Pike, northeastern Hempstead, and northwestern Nevada Counties. One apparent cone of depression was evident within the study area in the aquifer in the Nacatoch Sand.\r\nWithdrawals from aquifers in the Nacatoch Sand and Tokio Formation increased from 1965 to 1980 and decreased from 1980 to 1995. Long-term hydrographs were prepared for seven wells in the study area. Changes in water levels in three wells completed in the aquifer in the Nacatoch Sand and one well completed in the aquifer in the Tokio Formation might be associated with decreased withdrawals. Evidence of an association between withdrawals and water levels in three wells is not apparent.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Dept. of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey ;\r\nBranch of Information Services [distributor],","doi":"10.3133/wri984130","usgsCitation":"Schrader, T.P., 1998, Status of water levels in aquifers in the Nacatoch sand and Tokio Formation of southwestern Arkansas, 1996: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4130, iii, 14 p. :ill., maps ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri984130.","productDescription":"iii, 14 p. :ill., maps ;28 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":95771,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4130/report.pdf","size":"2001","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":159842,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4130/report-thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b32e4b07f02db6b470a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Schrader, Tony P. tpschrad@usgs.gov","contributorId":3027,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schrader","given":"Tony","email":"tpschrad@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":129,"text":"Arkansas Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":201788,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

The objectives of the study were to:</p>\n<p>(1) describe the effects of three farming systems on groundwater quality, and</p>\n<p>(2) evaluate the factors affecting ground-water quality and transport of agricultural chemicals at the site.</p>\n<p>Concentrations of nitrate nitrogen (nitrate-N) in the upper 1 meter (m) of the saturated zone were greatest beneath the two cropped areas having a potato-sweet corn annual rotation (median concentrations of 23 and 22 mg/L). Concentrations of nitrate-N were least beneath a cropped area having a field cornsoybean annual rotation (median of 14 mg/L); another cropped area having the field corn-soybean rotation had similar nitrate-N concentrations to those beneath a cropped area having field corn in consecutive years (continuous corn)(medians of 17 mg/L).</p>\n<p>Concentrations of atrazine plus metabolites de-ethylatrazine (DEA) and de-isopropylatrazine (DIA), atrazine plus metabolites, were significantly greater during 1994-95 than during 1992- 93 beneath all cropped areas in the upper 1 m of the saturated zone. Concentrations of atrazine plus metabolites during 1994-95 were greatest beneath the continuous corn (median of 1.07 (<span>&mu;</span>g/L), intermediate beneath one cropped area with the potato-sweet corn rotation (median of 0.37 <span>&mu;</span>g/L), and least beneath the other cropped area with the potato-sweet corn rotation, the field corn-soybean rotation, and background areas (medians ranging from 0.11 to 0.21 <span>&mu;</span>g/L), for which concentrations were not significantly different. Concentrations of atrazine plus metabolites during 1992-93 were mostly similar beneath the different cropped areas and background areas. DEA was the predominant atrazine-metabolite detected in ground water; the average DEA to atrazine ratio was 8.0. The herbicides metribuzin, alachlor, and metolachlor were rarely detected in ground water at trace levels and could not be linked to the MSEA farming systems, with the exception of metribuzin detections during 1993-94 at concentrations of 0.14-1.24 (<span>&mu;</span>g/L beneath one cropped area where metribuzin was applied to potatoes.</p>\n<p>Peak concentrations of chloride and bromide tracers were usually detected in the upper 2 m of the saturated zone 11 to 19 months after application. Peak concentrations of nitrate-N and atrazine plus metabolites were usually detected about 13 to 27 months and 2 years after application, respectively.</p>\n<p>The estimated proportion of applied nitrogen that reached ground water ranged from about 13 to 50 percent with an average of 30 percent. Differences in the concentrations of nitrate-N in ground water between different cropped areas were related to varying nitrogen application rates, timing of nitrogen application, timing of recharge in relation to crop rotation, and differences in nitrogen uptake by crops. In order of importance, plant uptake and leaching to ground water likely account for most of the nitrogen applied. Denitrification likely is an important mechanism affecting nitrate-N concentrations at depths greater than 2 m below the water table.</p>\n<p>The proportion of applied atrazine in ground water, detected as atrazine or its metabolites, ranged from 0 to about 1 percent with an average of 0.37 percent. The small proportion of applied atrazine detected in ground water indicates that atrazine was predominantly affected by processes occurring in the soil such as adsorption and degradation. Concentrations of atrazine plus metabolites were related to application rates.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Mounds View, MN","doi":"10.3133/wri984128","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the University of Minnesota Department of Soil, Water, and Climate; the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service; and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency","usgsCitation":"Landon, M., Delin, G., Lamb, J., Anderson, J.L., and Dowdy, R., 1998, Effects of farming systems on ground-water quality at the management systems evaluation area near Princeton, Minnesota, 1991-95: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4128, vi, 51 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri984128.","productDescription":"vi, 51 p.","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[{"id":392,"text":"Minnesota Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":95529,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4128/report.pdf","size":"7004","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":157081,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4128/report-thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Minnesota","city":"Princeton","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -93.62385749816895,\n              45.52312701460922\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.62385749816895,\n              45.530222474607434\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.6140513420105,\n              45.530222474607434\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.6140513420105,\n              45.52312701460922\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.62385749816895,\n              45.52312701460922\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a2ee4b07f02db615771","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Landon, M.K. 0000-0002-5766-0494","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5766-0494","contributorId":69572,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Landon","given":"M.K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":193797,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Delin, G.
