Patterns of mortality and inhibition of brain and plasma ChE in birds treated with ChE inhibitors were studied in an attempt to determine the validity of using ChE activity as a monitoring and diagnostic technique. Analysis of brain ChE activity proved to be reliable for diagnosing and monitoring effects of selected ChE inhibitors in birds. Brain ChE inhibition exceeding 20% indicated exposure, and inhibition greater than 50% was sufficient for diagnosing cause of death. Individuals that died from dietary exposure to parathion or carbofuran had brain ChE activities below 55% of normal; although individuals could survive with brain ChE activity lower than 50%. Problems associated with collection, storage, and analysis of tissues for ChE activity are discussed.

Granitic plutons are common to all the provinces, and the hot springs are spatially associated with the contacts of these plutons. Of 23 hot springs whose bedrock geology is known, all are within 4.8 km (3 mi) of a granitic pluton. The occurrence of hot springs, however, appears to be independent of the age, composition, or magmatic history of the pluton. Most of the analyzed hot springs appear to have chemical and isotopic compositions indicating that they were derived from deeply circulating meteoric water. About 25 percent of the analyzed hot springs show a distinct saline character with high concentrations of chloride, sodium, potassium, and calcium indicating either much more complex water-rock reactions than in the other hot springs or the addition of another type of water. Chemical geothermometers suggest subsurface temperatures in the general range of 70° to 160°C. If the hot spring waters have derived their heat solely from deep circulation, they must have reached depths of 2 to 5 km (6,000-15,000 ft), assuming geothermal gradients of 30° to 50°C/km. If a shallow igneous heat source exists in the area or if dilution or mixing has occurred, these depths may be shallower. The geologic and chemical data, although preliminary, suggest that most of the hot springs of west-central Alaska have relatively low subsurface temperatures and limited reservoir capacities in comparison with geothermal areas presently being utilized for electrical power generation. :The springs may, however, have some potential for limited power generation locally, if and when heat-exchange technology becomes available, as well as for space heating and agricultural uses.

A similar waste disposal system is planned for the same zone at a site about 8.5 miles (13.7 km) to the east. The injection zone is the lower limestone of the Floridan aquifer. The lower limestone is overlain by a confining layer of plastic clay about 220 feet (67 m) thick at the active injection site and underlain by another confining layer of shale and clay. The upper confining layer is overlain by the upper limestone of the Floridan aquifer.
The active injection system consists of two injection wells about a quarter of a mile (0.4 km) apart and three monitor wells. Two of the monitor wells (deep monitors) are used to observe hydraulic and geochemical effects of waste injection in the injection zone at locations about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south and 1.9 miles (3.1 km) north of the center of the injection site. The third well (shallow monitor), used to observe any effects in the upper limestone, is about 100 feet (30 m) from one of the injection wells. Since 1972 the injection zone has also been monitored at a test well at the planned new injection site. Three more monitor wells in the injection zone were activated in early 1974 at sites 17 miles (27 km) northeast, 22 miles (35 km) east and 33 miles (53 km) northeast of the injection site. The six deep monitors provide a system for evaluating the regional effects of injecting wastes. No change in pressure or water quality due to injection was, by mid-1974, evident in the upper limestone at the injection site, but static pressures in the lower limestone at the site had increased 8 fold since injection began in 1963. Chemical analyses indicated probable arrival of the diluted waste at the south monitor well in 1973. By mid-1974 waste evidently had not reached the north monitor well.
Calculations indicate that by mid-1974 pressure effects from waste injection extended radially more than 40 miles (64 km) from the injection site. By mid-1974 pressure effects of injection were evident from water-level measurements made at the five deep monitor wells nearest the active injection site. No effects were recognized at the well 33 miles (53 km) away. Less than 20 miles (32 km) northeast of the active injection site, the lower limestone contains fresh water. Changes in the pressure regime due to injection indicate a tendency for northeastward movement of the fresh-water/salt-water interface in the lower limestone.

Because the humic acid is completely dissolved in the reaction medium, disaggregation of the humic acid particles takes place and much more complete methylation is obtained. The methylated products may be fractionated by countercurrent distribution and analyzed by mass spectrometry.

The results of 21 laboratory analyses of hematology and blood chemistry are tabulated and analyzed in terms of study area, age, sex, and year of collection. Mean values are compared to those reported for dogs in the same age group. The numerous differences between dog and wolf pups are interpreted in terms of nutritional levels and dietary composition with the suggestion that the wolves are not achieving their full growth potential. Individual abnormal test results are tabulated and possible interpretations are suggested. Abnormal results were observed in 13 animals including 10 of 11 animals sampled in 1972. The results in the 1972 animals indicated a poorer nutrition. This preponderance of abnormal test results in pups from 1972 is correlated with ecological studies on this wolf population indicating decreased survival. The potential value of such long-term integrated field and laboratory studies for providing a more complete understanding of changes in the dynamics of natural populations in terms of the responses of individual animals is demonstrated.

Relative weights of wild pups are expressed as percentages of a standard weight curve based on data from captive pups of similar age. These relative weights varied greatly within litters, between litters, and between years; extremes of 31 to 144 percent of the standard were observed. Growth rates ranging from 0.05 to 0.23 kilograms per day were observed, and similar variations in general development and in replacement and growth of canine teeth were noted. Survival data based on radio-tracking and tag returns indicated that pups with relative weights less than 65 percent of standard have a poor chance of survival, whereas pups of at least 80 percent of standard weight have a high survivability. Pups born in 1972 were especially underweight, probably a result of declining white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) densities in the interior of the Superior National Forest study area.

A significant rate of seepage was found to extend only a relatively short distance from shore, thus forming a narrow band around the lake's perimeter. This near-shore concentration of seepage is an effect only of the geometry of the ground-water flow system, which is governed by the geometry of the body of permeable material, the spatial distribution of permeability within it, and the form of the water table. Near-shore seepage occurs independently of the presence of fine-grained, lowpermeability sedimentary bottom materials in the central part of the lake. Digital modeling indicates that the velocity of seepage generally decreases at an exponential rate as a function of distance from shore. Field measurements of seepage rates through the bottom of Lake Sallie, west-central Minnesota, confirm the model results by demonstrating that both the near-shore seepage band and the exponential decrease in seepage velocity actually exist.

Although results of this study indicate such investments have little immediate or short‐term impact, significant relationships and variations in regional responses appear over longer time periods. This is shown by applying a variation of Zellner's method of performing seemingly unrelated regressions jointly. By this method, subsets of parameter coefficients of specific economic variables were restricted across regional equations while unrestricted coefficients were interpreted as explaining systematic regional variations in response to public investment. Regional differences, obtained by using this method, are frequently neglected when simply examining the overall development process. Among the more interesting results in terms of policy implications is the apparent significant relationship, over the period considered, between changes in the distribution of income and the pattern of water resource development.

There are three major east-west trending morphotectonic units. The low-relief Moesian platform of northern Bulgaria and southern Romania owes its heritage to Hercynian deformation. It is mantled by flat-lying, shelf-type Mesozoic and Tertiary sedimentary (mostly carbonate) rocks. Along its southern boundary a foredeep developed during Jurassic-Cretaceous time in which thick flysch-like sediments accumulated. There is small oil and gas production. The Lorn basin, North Bulgarian swell, and Varna trough are other major structural elements within the platform.
The Rhodope massif of southern Bulgaria and northern Greece is a rugged mountainous terrain of Precambrian and early Paleozoic crystalline rocks. It is a fragment of a once much larger crustal block that began to break up in the Paleozoic and which has experienced uplift of 2,000 m in the Pliocene-Pleistocene.
Between the Rhodope and Moesian crustal blocks the narrow (10-20 km) Balkan Mountains (Stara Planina zone) consist of tightly folded and metamorphosed Paleozoic sedimentary rocks that have been deformed recurrently during the Hercynian and Alpine orogenies, culminating in 3 to 4 km of vertical uplift since the Miocene. The sub-Balkan fault bounds the south side of the Balkans and is at many places a spectacular scarp.
The Balkanide zone has been compressively molded between the large, relatively stable Rhodope massif and Moesian platform. Locally, north-moving gravitational glide masses lie on the platform but there has been minimal crustal shortening.
A fourth morphotectonic unit, the Kraishtide zone, trends northwest through western Bulgaria and into adjacent Yugoslavia. This rugged area, 15-60 km wide, is a megashear zone within which both right-lateral strike-slip and vertical movements have been common since the Paleozoic. It parallels the better known Vardar zone of Yugoslavia.
In addition to the long-lived, deep-seated faults that parallel the trend—and which are the boundary for some—of these four crustal units, a northeast-southwest fault system (Tvarditsa and Etropole), further breaks the Bulgarian crust into a giant block mosaic. Predominantly vertical movement along the major faults alternately has elevated or depressed individual blocks of the mosaic and has influenced profoundly the location and the character of sedimentation, igneous activity, occurrence of mineral deposits, and erosion.
Much of the ocean floor is covered by lava of a distinctive character. The lava appears to be made up of closely packed ellipsoidal masses about the size and shape of pillows - hence the term pillow lava. Only within the last few years has the abundance of pillow lava on the ocean floor been fully recognized. Ocean-bottom photographs and dredge samples have shown that the great bulk of new ocean floor created at diverging plate boundaries (such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge) is composed of pillowed basaltic lava flows. Closeup observations from submarines at depths of 2.7 km in the rift valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge have verified that virtually all the lavas erupted at this plate boundary are pillowed. The submarine portions of the great oceanic volcanoes, such as the ridge beneath the Hawaiian Islands, are also known to be built largely of pillow lava, and it is widespread in outcrops of uplifted ancient lava. Pillow lava is probably the most abundant form of volcanic rock on earth, though most of it is hidden beneath the world's oceans and mantled by younger sediments. Most investigators agree that the pillows form when fluid lava chills in contact with water, either when it erupts directly into water (or beneath ice) or when it flows across a shoreline and into a body of water. However, prior to our study, the process of pillow formation had never been directly observed. The recent eruptions of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii provided an unparalleled opportunity to study the movement and cooling of lava beneath the sea. In June 1969, lava from the new Mauna Ulu vent on the east rift zone of Kilauea spilled into the sea after flowing 12 km down the south flank of the volcano. This pattern was repeated, with lava flowing into the sea for a few weeks each year through 1973. In April 1971 scuba divers for the first time investigated lava flowing underwater and learned that in favorable circumstances the lava could be approached closely. Despite heated water, explosive concussions, vigorous convective currents, and poor visibility due to suspended sediment, valuable observations were made.

Often referred to as the Mother of Bureaus, many of its activities led to the formation of new organizations where a management or developmental function evolved.

Prior to development the area was poorly drained. By 1974, more than 150 miles (241 kilometres) of drainageways had been constructed to drain the area.\r\n\r\nThe water-bearing formations underlying Lehigh Acres include the water-table, sandstone, lower Hawthorn, and Suwannee aquifers. The water-table aquifer is usually not more than 30 feet (9 metres) thick; it contains water of relatively good quality, except for iron and color. Water levels in this aquifer probably have been affected by construction of drainage canals. The sandstone aquifer, used extensively throughout the area as a source of water supply usually contains water of good quality although the water is hard and in places may contain concentrations of dissolved solids and iron which exceed the recommended limits of the U.S. Public Health Service and the State of Florida for drinking water. The lower Hawthorn and Suwannee aquifers, usually encountered at depths between 440 and 850 feet (135 and 262 metres), contains water with relatively high concentrations of sodium, sulfate, chloride, and dissolved solids.\r\n\r\nThree streams, the Orange River, Hickey Creek, and Bedman Creek and the canals connected to them, provide drainage of the area. Except for the Orange River, where the water is of good chemical quality, little is known of the water quality. Similarly, little information is available on stream discharge except for the Orange River where the average annual discharge was 41.1 cubic feet per second (11.6 cubic metres per second) between 1935-46.\r\n\r\nMost lakes and ponds in Lehigh Acres are hydraulically connected to the water-table aquifer such that factors which affect one also affect the other. Theoretical drawdown curves indicate that the drainage canals may affect ground-water levels to a distance of 6,000 feet (1,800 metres) under certain conditions. Leeland Lake, the only known sinkhole lake in Lee County, is about 208 feet (64 metres) deep and contains water more nearly similar to the sandstone aquifer, although the lake may by hydraulically connected to both the water-table and sandstone aquifers.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr7555","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Florida Department of Natural Resources, Bureau of Geology and the Board of County Commissioners of Lee County","usgsCitation":"Boggess, D.H., and Missimer, T., 1975, A reconnaissance of hydrogeologic conditions in Lehigh Acres and adjacent areas of Lee County, Florida: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 75-55, 88 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr7555.","productDescription":"88 p.","costCenters":[{"id":27821,"text":"Caribbean-Florida Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":145721,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1975/0055/coverthb.jpg"},{"id":975,"rank":100,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1975/0055/report.pdf","text":"Report","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 75-55"}],"country":"United States","state":"Florida","county":"Lee County","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -81.78840637207031,\n 26.492084108599812\n ],\n [\n -81.56181335449219,\n 26.492084108599812\n ],\n [\n -81.56181335449219,\n 26.679980810428834\n ],\n [\n -81.78840637207031,\n 26.679980810428834\n ],\n [\n -81.78840637207031,\n 26.492084108599812\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","contact":"Caribbean-Florida Water Science Center

The Mississippi River alluvial aquifer in northeastern Louisiana is in the alluvium of the Mississippi, Arkansas, and Ouachita Rivers and underlies approximately 5,000 square miles (13,000 square kilometers) in the Mississippi River valley. The aquifer, of Pleistocene age, is a southeastward-thickening wedge of sand and gravel that ranges in thickness from about 20 to 135 feet (6 to 41 metres). These sediments are essentially flat lying with an irregular base. Fine sand, silt, and clay of Holocene age overlie and generally confine the aquifer. These fine-grained deposits range in thickness from 0 to 100 feet (0 to 30 metres) but generally do not exceed 40 feet (12 metres).
Water levels in the Mississippi River alluvial aquifer generally are less than 30 feet (9 metres) below land surface. Annual water-level fluctuations have a maximum range of about 20 feet (6 metres) near the Mississippi River and a minimum range of only a few feet in interstream areas. Seasonal declines occur locally, especially in Morehouse Parish, because of large withdrawals for irrigation.
The Mississippi River alluvial aquifer can yield water in sufficient quantity for most uses throughout the area. Aquifer tests indicate that the transmissivity ranges from 13,000 to 45,000 feet squared per day (1,200 to 4,200 metres squared per day). The hydraulic conductivity ranges from 130 to 530 feet per day (40 to 160 metres per day). Storage coefficients range from 0.001 to 0.05. Large diameter wells yield as much as 7,000 gallons per minute (440 litres per second) near Tallulah in Madison Parish.
The quality of ground water in the Mississippi River alluvial aquifer varies areally and with depth, but generally the water is hard to very hard and high in iron concentration, Where fresh, the water typically is a calcium bicarbonate type generally ranging in hardness from 200 to 600 mg/1 (milligrams per litre) and in iron concentration from 0.00 to 30 mg/1. However, in southern Richland Parish and local areas in adjacent parishes, a hardness of less than 100 mg/1 and an iron concentration of less than 0.30 mg/1 are common.
Fresh water occurs to or below the base of the alluvial aquifer in most of the area. The chloride concentration typically is less than 50 mg/1. However, chloride concentrations are as high as 4,000 mg/1 in parts of the area. At some localities, salty water (chloride concentrations greater than 250 mg/1) occurs in the aquifer at depths less than 30 feet (9 metres). The largest occurrence of salty water is in Franklin Parish near and parallel to the subsurface contact between clays of the Jackson Group and sands of the Cockfield Formation of the Claiborne Group. Thus, salty water moving from the Cockfield into the alluvium may be the source of some of the high-chloride water. Smaller bodies of salty water occur in the aquifer along the Jackson-Cockfield contact in Madison and Caldwell Parishes. Probably some contamination from pits formerly used for disposal of salty water occurs in northern Franklin and southern Richland Parishes, Other small occurrences of salty water in Concordia, Morehouse, Ouachita, and Tensas Parishes may be related to contamination by salt-water disposal pits and wells, leaky oil-well casings, and oil-well drilling mishaps.

Much of the information on lakes and reservoirs previously collected by Federal and State agencies has never been published. These data were compiled and used as a basis for collecting additional information. This report provides information for use by city, county, and State planning groups as well as for sportsmen, tourists, and others interested in preserving the recreational value of Oregon's lakes.
Because of the large number of lakes and reservoirs in Oregon, a single report covering the State would be bulky. Therefore, the lake information is being published in several volumes on a county or multicounty basis. Volume 1, published in 1973, covered Clatsop, Columbia, and Tillamook Counties; volume 2, published in 1974, included Benton, Lincoln, and Polk Counties. Hood River, Multnomah, Washington, and Yamhill Counties were selected for volume 3. (See fig. 1.)
In addition to office compilation of existing data, each lake was also visited. Most visits were made in summer or early fall when lakes were most accessible and when water temperature and biological activitiy were at a maximum.

northern Great Plains coal region of Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota, 1975","docAbstract":"The Geological Survey's Water Resources Division has for many years maintained a program of water-resources investigations that includes the coal regions of Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota. These programs have been supported by State and local agencies and by other agencies of the Federal government, largely to provide data for water-resources development projects, allocations of water, and to inventory of water resources for future planning.
The recent interest in coal has added new dimensions and greater intensity to the investigations. The work has expanded to include monitoring the environmental effects of coal mining and processing and to determine the availability of additional water supplies for coal-conversion plants and related demands.
New objectives are now reflected in the program. Much of the work is to assist the Bureau of Land Management in its responsibilities to minimize the possible detrimental effects of coal mining on the public resource lands. The Environmental Protection Agency also supports a significant part of the program. Their support is to assure that water-quality information is collected at key locations, with types of water-quality data and frequency of sampling needed by that agency in the discharge of its function. Relatively large increases in the program have been funded by direct appropriation to the Geological Survey.
This report describes the water-resources investigation program that is currently in operation. Locations of gaging stations and water-quality measuring sites, frequencies and parameters, and areas of groundwater studies are included in this report. Brief descriptions of coal-related studies by investigators who are headquartered outside the Northern Great Plains coal regions are also included. Such studies are research in topics related to coal extraction, water supply, and post-mining reclamation
