Uptake, biotransformation, and elimination of rotenone by bluegills (Lepomis macrochirus )
Yearling bluegills (Lepomis macrochirus) were exposed to sublethal concentrations of [14C]rotenone (5.2 μg/l) for 30 days in a continuous flow exposure system and then transferred to clean, flowing water for an additional 21-day depuration period. Rates of uptake and elimination and profile of the rotenoid metabolites in head, viscera, and carcass components were evaluated by 14C counting and by h

National water summary 1984: Hydrologic events, selected water-quality trends, and ground-water resources
Water year 1984 was a year of extreme hydrologic conditions. For the third consecutive year, precipitation and resulting runoff were well above long-term averages in most of the Nation and as much as 400 percent above average in the Southwest. National flood damages during the year were the third highest in a 10-year period (1975-84) an estimated $3.5 to $4 billion. In many of the larger river sys

Trends in municipal-well installations and aquifer utilization in southeastern Minnesota, 1880-1980
Water distributed by municipal systems has been the largest off-stream use of water in southeastern Minnesota for the past 100 years. Water pumped by these systems in 1980 totaled 102.3 billion gallons, with 60.1 billion gallons supplied by ground water. Ground water supplies 294 of the 309 municipal systems in the area.
The development of ground-water supplies for municipal use in southeastern Mi

Stream discharge in Michigan - Miscellaneous measurements
This report contains 17,607 miscellaneous stream discharge measurements made at 2,897 sites in Michigan. An average of 515 measurements were made each year from 1960 through 1984; most of these were made from April through October of each year. Miscellaneous measurements include periodic and occasional measurements of streamflow at sites where systematic records are unavailable.

Partitioning studies of coal-tar constituents in a two-phase contaminated ground-water system
Organic compounds derived from coal-tar wastes in a contaminated aquifer in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, were identified, and their partition coefficients between the tar phase and aqueous phase were determined and compared with the corresponding n-octanol/water partition coefficients. Coal tar contains numerous polycyclic aromatic compounds, many of which are suspected carcinogens or mutagens. Grou

Ground-water and surface-water interactions in Minnesota and Wisconsin wetlands
The interaction between ground water and surface water in wetlands is complex and depends on the hydrologic setting of the particular wetland. Hydrologic characteristics have been used in Wisconsin to classify wetlands into four categories; surface-waterdepression wetlands, surface-water-slope wetlands, ground-waterdepression wetlands, and ground-water-slope wetlands, as described by Novitzki (197

Cost effectiveness of stream-gaging program in Michigan
This report documents the results of a study of the cost effectiveness of the stream-gaging program in Michigan. Data uses and funding sources were identified for the 129 continuous gaging stations being operated in Michigan as of 1984. One gaging station was identified as having insufficient reason to continue its operation. Several stations were identified for reactivation, should funds become a
