Measurement of time of travel and dispersion in streams by dye tracing
E. F. Hubbard, F. A. Kilpatrick, L.A. Martens, J. F. Wilson Jr.
1982, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-A9
The use of fluorescent dyes and tracing techniques provides a means for measuring the time-of-travel and dispersion characteristics of steady and gradually varied flow in streams. Measurements of the dispersion and concentration of dyes give insight into the behavior of soluble contaminants that may be introduced into a stream. This manual describes methods of measuring time...

Water quality of the French Broad River, North Carolina — An analysis of data collected at Marshall, 1958-1977
C. C. Daniel III, Hugh B. Wilder, M. S. Weiner
1982, Water Supply Paper 2185-C
An investigation of water quality in the French Broad River in North Carolina has resulted in the definition of variations in water quality, a determination of the degree to which the quality of water in the river has been affected by man 's activities, and an analysis of trends in...

Chemical composition of bulk precipitation in the North-Central and Northeastern United States, December 1980 through February 1981
Norman E. Peters, Joseph E. Bonelli
1982, Circular 874
Samples of bulk precipitation were collected at 179 sites in the North-Central and Northeastern United States for 3 months during winter 1980-81 to provide data on the distribution of chemical constituents. Concentrations and average daily loads of 29 dissolved constituents were determined. Sodium and chloride deposition was relatively high in...
Program for evaluating stream quality in North Carolina
Hugh B. Wilder, Clyde E. Simmons
1982, Water Supply Paper 2185-A
The design and objectives of the program for evaluating stream quality in North Carolina are described. Using water-quality and streamflow data collected since the 1940?s, a study is underway to define certain variations in water quality, to quantify the effects of man?s activities on water quality, and to determine long-term...

Water-quality characteristics of streams in forested and rural areas of North Carolina
Clyde E. Simmons, Ralph C. Heath
1982, Water Supply Paper 2185-B
Data collected in North Carolina during 1973-78 from a statewide network of 39 rural sampling sites were used to define unpolluted or baseline stream quality. The basins were 90 to 100 percent forested and, except for the unknown effects of air pollution, were relatively unaffected by man 's activities. Five...
