Dissimilatory reduction of selenate and arsenate in nature
This chapter discusses the biogeochemical reduction of selenate (Se(VI)) and arsenate (As(V)) when they enter anoxic environments and are used as electron acceptors for the oxidation of organic matter. These reductions are of a dissimilative nature and support the anaerobic growth of selected bacteria which conserve energy from this process. The chapter summarizes what is known about the bacteria'

Emergent biological patterns and surface-subsurface interactions at landscape scales
In this chapter, we focus on emergent biological patterns in riverine ecosystems at landscape scales resulting from surface-subsurface water interaction. Our objectives are to examine (1) how the balance of physical and chemical factors on the "natural" geologic template affects biological patterns, (2) how natural hydrothermal systems can be used as a model for understanding surface-subsurface in

Pesticides in stream sediment and aquatic biota— Current understanding of distribution and major influences
This report summarizes a comprehensive analysis of existing information on pesticides in bed sediment and aquatic biota of United States rivers and streams: their geographic distribution, sources, trends, environmental fate, and biological significance. It is one of a four-part series that synthesizes current knowledge and understanding of pesticides in the nation’s water resources as part of the

Volumes of recent floods and potential for storage in upland watershed areas of Iowa
Substantial flooding at various locations throughout the United States, particularly during and after the Upper Mississippi River Basin flood of 1993, has resulted in analysis and discussion of both structural and nonstructural methods of watershed management to control flooding. The Upper Mississippi River Basin flood of 1993 resulted in the formulation of a Scientific Assessment and Strategy Tea

Water quality in south-central Texas, Texas, 1996–98
This report summarizes major findings about water quality in south-central Texas that emerged from an assessment conducted between 1996 and 1998 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program. Water quality is discussed in terms of local and regional issues and compared to conditions found in all 36 NAWQA study areas, called Study Units, assessed to date. Fi
