Degradation of phenolic contaminants in ground water by anaerobic bacteria: St. Louis Park, Minnesota
Coal-tar derivatives from a coal-tar distillation and wood-treating plant that operated from 1918 to 1972 at St. Louis Park, Minnesota contaminated the near-surface ground water. Solutions of phenolic compounds and a water-immiscible mixture of polynuclear aromatic compounds accumulated in wetlands near the plant site and entered the aquifer. The concentration of phenolic compounds in the aqueous

An evaluation of water-quality monitoring in the Brandywine Creek basin, Pennsylvania, 1973-78
Data recorded from 1973 through 1978 by monitors on West Branch Brandywine Creek at Modena, East Branch Brandywine Creek below Downingtown, and Brandywine Creek at Chadds Ford were analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of the monitors in describing water-quality conditions. The data show that the stream at Modena and below Downingtown had periods of low dissolved oxygen, and that the stream below

Quality assurance practices for the chemical and biological analyses of water and fluvial sediments
This chapter contains practices used by the U.S. Geological Survey to assure the quality of analytical data for water, fluvial sediment, and aquatic organisms. These practices are directed primarily toward personnel making water quality measurements. Some detail specific quality control techniques, others document quality assurance procedures being used by the Central Laboratories System of the U.

Measurement of time of travel and dispersion in streams by dye tracing
The use of fluorescent dyes and tracing techniques provides
a means for measuring the time-of-travel and dispersion
characteristics of steady and gradually varied flow in
streams. Measurements of the dispersion and concentration
of dyes give insight into the behavior of soluble contaminants
that may be introduced into a stream.
This manual describes methods of measuring time of
travel of wa

Water quality of the French Broad River, North Carolina — An analysis of data collected at Marshall, 1958-1977
An investigation of water quality in the French Broad River in North Carolina has resulted in the definition of variations in water quality, a determination of the degree to which the quality of water in the river has been affected by man 's activities, and an analysis of trends in the changing chemical quality of the river. The investigation centered on data collected during 1958-77 at the U.S. G

Bibliography of U.S. Geological Survey studies of lakes and reservoirs; the first 100 years
For more than 100 years, the U.S. Geological Survey has pursued its mission of assessing and mapping the earth resources of the United States, including assessment of the Nation's water resources. Although the Survey has never been a water-management or development agency, it has assisted agencies that are responsible for such developments, and commonly provides data and information for such purpo
