Sediment transport to the Fox Chain of Lakes, Illinois
Two main tributaries to the Fox Chain of Lakes, the Fox River and Nippersink Creek, were sampled twice weekly and during periods of high runoff to determine the amount of suspended inorganic sediment being transported into the Chain of Lakes. Sediment yields were determined by using the transport-duration technique. It is estimated that 34,100 tons of suspended sediment are transported to the Lake

Floods in the Big Creek basin, Linn County, Iowa
Flood information for the Big Creek basin in Linn County, Iowa, should be of use to those concerned with the design of bridges and other structures on the flood plains of the streams. Water-surface profiles for the flood of May 1974 are given for Big Creek and its major tributaries, East Big, Crabapple, Elbow, and Abbe Creeks. The May 1974 flood was at least a 50-year flood on East Big Creek and a

Water quality characteristics of six small lakes in Missouri: Mo. Dept. of Natural Resources.
A study of six small lakes, representative of those in the major physiographic regions of Missouri, shows variation in physical. chemical, and biological characteristics related to their location in the Slate. For example, because of climatic differences, ice cover and winter stratification are more prevalent in northern Missouri. Summer stratification lasts about one month longer in the southern

Flood of June 27, 1975, in City of Ames, Iowa
On June 27, 1975, the city of Ames and vicinity sustained severe flooding from Squaw creek and the south Skunk River. The storm which preceded the flood was net particularly outstanding in its intensity or duration. However, antecedent conditions plus the timing and direction of the storm were "ideally tuned" to cause the flood.
In terms of magnitude of discharge as well as of damages this was the

Drainage areas for Illinois streams
Drainage areas were tabulated for all streams in Illinois which drain over 100 square miles. at sites where streamflow data have been collected, and at other selected locations. Areas were planimetered on U.S. Geological Survey topographic quadrangle maps and balanced to known areas taken from Smithsonian Geographical Tables of areas of quadrilaterals of the earth's surface (procedures and standar
