2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5241
Lake Houston is a major source of public water supply and recreational resource for the Houston metropolitan area, Texas. Water-quality issues of potential concern for the lake have included nutrient enrichment (orthophosphorus, total phosphorus, nitrite plus nitrate) and aquatic life use (dissolved oxygen). The , in cooperation with the City...

USGS east-coast sediment analysis: Procedures, database, and GIS data
L.J. Poppe, K.Y. McMullen, S.J. Williams, V.F. Paskevich, editor(s)
2005, Open-File Report 2005-1001
PrefaceSediments off the eastern United States vary markedly in texture - the size, shape, and arrangement of their grains. For descriptive purposes, however, it is typically most useful to classify these sediments according to their grain-size distributions. Starting in 1962, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Woods Hole Oceanographic...
Effects of removing Good Hope Mill Dam on selected physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of Conodoguinet Creek, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
Jeffrey J. Chaplin, Robin A. Brightbill, Michael D. Bilger
2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5226
The implications of dam removal on channel characteris-tics, water quality, benthic invertebrates, and fish are not well understood because of the small number of removals that have been studied. Comprehensive studies that document the effects of dam removal are just beginning to be published, but most research has focused on...

National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program Report to Congress: An integrated assessment
Dallas Burtraw, Thomas Butler, Kenneth Colburn, C. Driscoll, David Grigal, editor(s)
2005, Report
Acid deposition, more commonly known as acid rain, occurs when emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) react in the atmosphere (with water, oxygen, and oxidants) to form various acidic compounds. These acidic compounds then fall to earth in either a wet form (rain, snow, and fog) or a dry form (gases, aerosols,...

Rodney A. Sheets, Denise H. Dumouchelle, Daniel T. Feinstein
2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5141
Agreements between United States governors and Canadian territorial premiers establish water-management principles and a framework for protecting Great Lakes waters, including ground water, from diversion and consumptive uses. The issue of ground-water diversions out of the Great Lakes Basin by large-scale pumping near the divides has been raised. Two scenario...
