Surficial aquifer system in eastern Lee County, Florida
D. H. Boggess, F. A. Watkins
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4161
The surficial aquifer system in eastern Lee County consists of an upper water bearing unit, which is generally unconfined, and a lower water bearing unit, which is confined and is the major source tapped by most wells. The top of the lower unit, which is of primary interest in this...
Chemical effects of highway runoff on the surficial aquifer, Broward County, Florida
Barbara Howie, B.G. Waller
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4200
In many areas of Broward County, swales are commonly designed to accept stormwater runoff from highways. Two sites adjacent to heavily traveled highways were studied to determine if stormwater percolating through unsaturated sand underlying the swales may affect the quality of water in the Biscayne aquifer. Concentrations of selected chemicals...
Tests for injecting, storing, and recovering freshwater in a saline artesian aquifer, Lee County, Florida
D. J. Fitzpatrick
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4249
An investigation was made of the suitability of a saline, artesian limestone aquifer for the injection, storage, and recovery of freshwater from the Caloosahatchee River. The tests were conducted on a well tapping a leaky artesian system that has a transmissivity of 800 square feet per day, a storage of...

This is the twenty-third in a series of annual reports that describe ground-water conditions in Utah. Reports in this series, published cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Utah Division of Water Resources, provide data to enable interested parties to keep abreast of changing ground-water conditions.This report, like the...
Program for monitoring the chemical quality of ground water in Utah – Summary of data collected through 1984
Don Price, Ted Arnow
1986, Technical Publication 88
The U.S. Geological Survey formally started a program for monitoring ground-water quality in Utah during 1957 in cooperation with the State of Utah. Most observation wells in the monitoring network are privately owned. Initially, the network consisted of fewer than 50 wells; by 1984, however, it had expanded to include...
Ground-water conditions in the Kaiparowits Plateau area, Utah and Arizona, with emphasis on the Navajo Sandstone
Paul J. Blanchard
1986, Technical Publication 81
This report presents results of investigation of ground-water conditions in the Kaiparowits Plateau area of south-central Utah and north-central Arizona (fig. 1). The area is under investigation for development of its large quantities of energy resources, primarily coal. Production and transportation of those energy resources would require attendant development of water resources....
A history of paleoflood hydrology in the United States
John E. Costa
1986, Eos, Earth and Space Science News (67) 425-430
The origins of paleoflood hydrology in the United States can be traced back to the beginning of the 19th century, when windgaps and watergaps in the Applachians were believed to have been eroded by extraordinary floods as large lakes that were ponded behind the ridges rapidly drained. Sediment evidence for...
Metabolism of reduced methylated sulfur compounds in anaerobic sediments and by a pure culture of an estuarine methanogen
R.P. Kiene, Ronald S. Oremland, Anthony Catena, Laurence G. Miller, D.G. Capone
1986, Applied and Environmental Microbiology (52) 1037-1045
Addition of dimethylsulfide (DMS), dimethyldisulfide (DMDS), or methane thiol (MSH) to a diversity of anoxic aquatic sediments (e.g., fresh water, estuarine, alkaline/hypersaline) stimulated methane production. The yield of methane recovered from DMS was often 52 to 63%, although high concentrations of DMS (as well as MSH...
Susceptibility of progeny from crosses among three stocks of coho salmon to infection by Ceratomyxa shasta
A.R. Hemmingsen, J.D. McIntyre, J. L. Fryer
1986, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (115) 492-495
Crossbred coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch were produced from all possible crosses among three stocks. The relative susceptibility of the progeny to infection by the myxosporean parasite Ceratomyxa shasta was determined by exposure of juvenile fish to Willamette River water that contained the infective stage of the parasite. Susceptibility of coho...
Hydrogeology and ground-water use and quality, Brown County, Wisconsin
J. T. Krohelski, B.A. Brown
1986, Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey Information Circular 57
The Paleozoic rock of Brown County includes formations of Cambrian, Ordovician, and Silurian age. These formations are eastward-dipping sedimentary rock that rest on Precambrian crystalline rock and are overlain by Pleistocene deposits. The units that are the principal sources of ground water were grouped into three aquifers (upper, St. Peter,...

Effect of injected rotenone on the production and composition of urine from the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
D.A. Erickson, W.H. Gingerich
1986, Aquatic Toxicology (9) 263-274
Renal function was evaluated in adult rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) dosed i.a. with rotenone at 225 and 275 μg/kg. The chemical composition of urine samples and urine flow rates collected over a 5-h pretreatment period were compared with hourly urine samples collected over a 5-h posttreatment period. Significant increases in...
Liquid chromatography of hydrocarbonaeous quaternary amines on cyclodextrin bonded silica
S. L. Abidi
1986, Journal of Chromatography (362) 33-46
Mixtures of n-alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride (ABDAC) were resolved into homologous components by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a cyclodextrin-bonded silica stationary phase. With a few exceptions, results from this study are similar to those obtained from traditional reversed-phase HPLC. It was found that the presence of electrolytes in aqueous mobile phases is not...

Two ponds were treated with liquid rotenone (5% rotenone), one with 3 mg/L at 24°C and the other with 2 mg/L at 0°C (concentrations of active rotenone were 0.15 and 0.10 mg/L, respectively). Water samples were collected and analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. The concentration of rotenone declined to 0.02...

Robert O’Gorman, Clifford P. Schneider
1986, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (115) 1-14
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation assessed the population of alewives Alosa pseudoharengus in U.S. waters of Lake Ontario during 1976–1982 with bottom trawls. Alewives were abundant in 1976 but a die-off greatly reduced their numbers during the winter of 1976–1977. The...
