Determining Pesticide And Nitrate Levels In Spring Water In Northwest Arkansas, T. L. Lavy, B. A. Dehart, John D. Mattice
Determining Pesticide And Nitrate Levels In Spring Water In Northwest Arkansas, T. L. Lavy, B. A. Dehart, John D. Mattice
Technical Reports
Occurrences of pesticides in our nations ground water are on the rise. As states become aware of this problem and begin monitoring programs, incidence of contamination will probably increase. Since the problem of pesticides in groundwater is relatively new, little research has centered on the fate of pesticides after they reach the groundwater environment. In Northwest Arkansas efforts to monitor groundwater for pesticides have been small. Twenty-five springs in Northwest Arkansas were sampled in the fall of 1988, and spring of 1989. Analysis for atrazine, alachlor, metolachlor, diuron, and simazine in spring water was preformed using gas liquid chromatography and …
Limnological Monitoring Data For Lake Mead During 1988, Suzanne E. Leavitt, Larry J. Paulson, State Of Nevada: Division Of Environmental Protection
Limnological Monitoring Data For Lake Mead During 1988, Suzanne E. Leavitt, Larry J. Paulson, State Of Nevada: Division Of Environmental Protection
Publications (WR)
Limnological monitoring was conducted in Las Vegas Bay and Boulder Basin from April to December of 1988. The purpose of the monitoring was to (i) document possible changes in water quality resulting from decreased phosphorus loading and increased ammonia in Las Vegas Wash, and (ii) establish a data base for evaluating the adequacy of water quality standards.

Determination Of The Suitability Of Arkansas River Water For Municipal, Industrial And Agricultural Use, James W. Moore
Technical Reports
River water samples from the five sites were collected by the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) in accordance with their established sampling procedures. Samples for wet chemistry and atomic absorption analyses were delivered to the Bell Engineering Center at the University of Arkansas by USGS personnel. Samples for organics analyses from the Lee Creek, Dardanelle, Little Rock and Pine Bluff sites were delivered by USGS to American Interplex in Little Rock. Samples for organics analyses for the Van Buren site were delivered to the Bell Engineering Center and sent by United Parcel Service (next day air) to Daily Analytical Services …
Susceptibility Of Northern Minnesota Lakes To Acid Deposition Impacts, Clifford J. Twaroski, J. David Thornton, Rick L. Strassman, Patrick L. Brezonik
Susceptibility Of Northern Minnesota Lakes To Acid Deposition Impacts, Clifford J. Twaroski, J. David Thornton, Rick L. Strassman, Patrick L. Brezonik
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
ABSTRACT-lake chemistry surveys indicate a large number of lakes with acid neutralizing capability (ANC) below 200 μeq/L occur in northeast Minnesota where shallow soils over bedrock and exposed rock outcrops predominate, and in moraine areas having rolling to steep topography in north-central and east-central Minnesota. In the Boundary Waters area, lake chemistry is strongly associated with bedrock geology. lakes with ANC <100 μeq/L are associated with granite, basalt, and gabbro formations, while lakes with ANC of 100- 200 μeq/L are associated with slate and greenstone formations. In the rest of the state where soils are deep, landform, soil type, and lake hydrology determine lake chemistry. Most low ANC lakes are found in terminal moraine areas. These lakes are generally small ( <40 ha in area), have limited groundwater inflow, and typically classed as precipitation-dominated seepage lakes. Higher ANC lakes (>400 μeq/L) are often associated with agricultural and residential land uses. Relationships found between ANC and bedrock geology, and between ANC and landform and soils, provided the basis for mapping the distribution of low ANC surface waters in Minnesota. …100>
County-Based Priority Assessment Methodology For Phasing Of Wellhead Protection Programs, H. O. Pfannkuch, M. E. Campion, D. C. Mccaa, J. M. Palenberg
County-Based Priority Assessment Methodology For Phasing Of Wellhead Protection Programs, H. O. Pfannkuch, M. E. Campion, D. C. Mccaa, J. M. Palenberg
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
ABSTRACT-Setting priorities to schedule and implement wellhead protection programs for municipal and community drinking water supplies is presented in the framework of a general risk assessment approach. This includes a hazard identification procedure representing the likelihood of contaminants being released to the surface environment, a hydrogeologic vulnerability assessment representing the risk of contaminants entering the groundwater supply, and an impact assessment, strongly linked to the population at risk. A methodology was developed to aggregate information on a county basis for Minnesota. The resulting composite risk index map shows a number of counties in the central part of the state roughly …
Factors Affecting Water-Supply Potential Of The Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Aquifer System, Michael E. Schoenberg
Factors Affecting Water-Supply Potential Of The Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Aquifer System, Michael E. Schoenberg
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
ABSTRACT-The Twin Cities aquifer system in Minnesota contains five aquife~s and fou: confining units that together consist of fourteen geologic units. Unconsolidated sand and gravel aqmfers overlie bedrock sandstone and carbonate aquifers. Between 1880 and 1980, groundwater wi_thdrawals have c_aused long-term wate~ level declines of as much as 90 feet in the Prairie du Chien-Jordan aquifer and 240 feet m the deeper Mount S~monHinckley aquifer-the two major sources of groundwater supplies in the ar~a .. The estimated max1mu1:1 continuous withdrawal rate from the aquifer system is about 650 Mgal/d (million gallons per day). This compares with an average daily groundwater …

The Bay Study Group was created by the City of Tampa in 1976 to monitor the effects of pollution abatement that occurred in Hillsborough Bay when the city’s wastewater treatment plant was upgraded from primary to advanced treatment in 1979. The Bay Study Group documented a remarkable restoration of water quality parameters and biological indicators in Hillsborough Bay from the mid 1980s until 2009, when it was disbanded. This zip Geodatabase file contains the aerial photos for the year 1989.
