Some observations on the ecology and fish management of reservoirs in the United States
By 1980 there were 1,608 reservoirs (over 202 ha each) with a surface area of 4 million ha in the United States. Construction of new reservoirs has decreased in recent years because of the lack of suitable sites and the opposition of environmental interests. Reservoirs have characteristics of both lacustrine and riverine ecosystems. Reservoirs have been segmented into riverine, transitional and la

Hydrologic data from monitoring of saline-water intrusion in the Cape Coral area, Lee County, Florida
As a result of declining water levels and saline-water intrusion in the Cape Coral area, the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the City of Cape Coral established a monitoring well network in Cape Coral and adjacent areas in 1978-79. The network was designed to provide indication of lateral movement of saline water in the upper part of the Hawthorn Formation; to provide trends in water lev

Deep artesian aquifers of Sanibel and Captiva Islands, Lee County, Florida
Sanibel and Captiva Islands, two of the barrier islands off the lower west coast of Florida, have a resident population of about 6,000 and an additional 6,000 visitors during the peak of the tourist season. Rapid growth and extensive development in recent years have imposed progressively greater stress on the water resources of the islands.Sanibel and Captiva Islands are underlain by a series of g

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

Water quality of the Neuse River, North Carolina - Variability, pollution loads, and long-term trends
Interpretation of water-quality data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey for the Neuse River, North Carolina, has identified water-quality variations, charactrized the current condition of the river in reference to water-quality standards, estimated the degree of pollution caused by man, and evaluated long-term trends in concentrations of major dissolved constituents.

Program for evaluating stream quality in North Carolina
The design and objectives of the program for evaluating stream quality in North Carolina are described. Using water-quality and streamflow data collected since the 1940?s, a study is underway to define certain variations in water quality, to quantify the effects of man?s activities on water quality, and to determine long-term trends at key locations on the State?s major rivers. Data collected from

Source areas of salinity and trends of salt loads in streamflow in the upper Colorado River, Texas
A series of seven studies of the quality and quantity of low flows in a 35.5-mile reach of the Colorado River upstream from Colorado City, Tex., were made from February 1975 to March 1978 to delineate areas of saline inflows. These studies showed generally that ground water contributed throughout the reach is saline but that loads of dissolved-constituents in ground-water accretions are highest in
