Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Kishwaukee River basin, Illinois
Howard E. Allen Jr., Ellen A. Cowan
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4311
Seven-day, 2-year, and 7-day, 10-year natural low flows are estimated at five continuous-record gaging stations based on streamflow records and records of wastewater effluent furnished by treatment plants. Low flows are also estimated at 22 partial-record stations by relating natural low-flow estimates for long-term stations to discharge measurements at partial-record...
Rainfall-runoff relationships and water-quality assessment of Coon Creek watershed, Anoka County, Minnesota
A.D. Arntson, L. H. Tornes
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4013
Rainfall-runoff relationships and results of water-quality analyses were studied to develop an understanding of flooding problems and to assess present and potential water-quality problems in the 96.9-square-mile Coon Creek watershed, Anoka County, Minnesota. Rainfall, runoff, and water-quality data were collected from March 1979 to November 1980 at five continuously recording...
