Using glass capillary gas chromatography (GC) and ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), a pair of structurally similar microbicides, benzyl diisobutylphenoxyethoxyethyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and its cresoxy-analogue, were effectively resolved and accurately quantified with a high degree of selectivity and specificity. Optimization of conditions in the chromato

An apparatus for sampling larval fish in small impoundments is described.

The influence of background polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) residues in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) on the susceptibility of the fish to nine chemicals routinely or occasionally used in fishery operations was evaluated. Rainbow trout fry were divided into three groups: one was exposed to 0.01 ppb and another to 0.1 ppb of the PCB Aroclor (R) 1254; the third (control) group was unexposed. After

Methods of preparation of carbon-14 and deuterium labeled N-nitroso-2(3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl) aminoethanols are described. The primary synthetic method involved alkylation of ethanolamine or ethylglycine with suitable chlorides and subsequent mild nitrosation. Isomeric 14C-nitrosamines were also prepared by selective -cleavage of the di-substituted ethanolamine with nitrous acid.

Isobornyl thiocyanoacetate (Thanite) is an insecticide that induces a surfacing response in fish and therefore has been considered to have potential as a fish collection agent. Analyses for residues of Thanite in carp (Cyprinus carpio) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) exposed to chemical yielded only a trace of the parent compound. A metabolite, isobornyl a-(methylthio)acetate, was isol

The Kickapoo River valley in southwestern Wisconsin had a devastating flood ($10 million estimated damages) during July 1-5, 1978. The flash flooding was caused by intense storms on June 30 through July 2. Total rainfall accumulation ranged from 5.8 inches near Ontario to 9.5 inches at La Farge. The resulting flood equaled or exceeded the largest ones recorded since the 1850 's and equaled or exce

Water resources data for the 1980 water year for Michigan consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels, water quality, and water temperature of ground-water wells. This report contains discharge records for 180 gaging stations; stage only records for 4 gaging stations; stage and contents for 5 lak

The purpose of this report is to make available the 1980 records of water levels and related data for the principal aquifers of the State. This report is written for municipalities, industries, institutions, consultants, drillers, hydrologists and other people interested in the ground-water resources.

This study documents Streamflow, temperature, and water-quality conditions of Bridge Creek at Augusta, Wisconsin, and evaluates the potential effects of a proposed small impoundment on the creek. The effects are of concern to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources because the stream is a Class II trout stream. Average daily Streamflow, from records collected during the 1980 water year, was

An unsteady-flow simulation model was applied to a 19.5-mile reach of Saginaw River. The model provides a method of determining instantaneous discharge for flows from -8,000 to 12,000 cubic feet per second. The currently used slope-rating method can be utilized to compute discharge only under steady and high-flow conditions. Unsteady flow frequently occurs in the Saginaw River as a result of lake

This report describes low-flow characteristics of streams in the central Wisconsin River basin where streamflow data have been collected and presents equations for estimating low-flow characteristics at ungaged sites. Included are estimates of low-flow frequency at 34 gaging stations, flow duration at 24 gaging stations, and low-flow frequency characteristics at 18 low-flow partial-record stations
