Trace Metals And Major Elements In Water-Soluble Rocks Of Northwest Arkansas, George H. Wagner, Kenneth F. Steele, Doy L. Zachry Jr.
Trace Metals And Major Elements In Water-Soluble Rocks Of Northwest Arkansas, George H. Wagner, Kenneth F. Steele, Doy L. Zachry Jr.
Technical Reports
Trace metals in limestone are potential water contaminants because they can enter the ground water when the limestone is dissolved by carbonic acid and other naturally occurring acids. Four local limestones, the St. Joe and Pitkin Formations (Mississippian) and the Brentwood and Kessler Members of the Bloyd Formation (Pennsylvanian) were sampled in a five county area in Northwest Arkansas. Atomic absorption analyses were made for Na, K, Mg, Ca, Zh, Cu, Ba, Fe, Co, Cr, Ni, Mn, Li and Sr on the acid soluble material of the samples. All the limestones are relatively pure CaCO3 with Pitkin the purest, 93.4%. …
Trace Element Composition Of Stream Sediments An Integrating Factor For Water Quality, Kenneth F. Steele, Harold C. Macdonald, George H. Wagner, William S. Bowen
Trace Element Composition Of Stream Sediments An Integrating Factor For Water Quality, Kenneth F. Steele, Harold C. Macdonald, George H. Wagner, William S. Bowen
Technical Reports
Bottom sediments, suspended sediments, and water were sampled along 130 miles of the Buffalo River in northern Arkansas. The water and acid extracts of the suspended sediments and the minus 95 mesh fraction of the bottom sediments were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry. All samples were analyzed for Na, K, Mg, Ca, Zn, Cd, Cu, Pb, Fe, Co, Cr, Ni, and Mn. Selected bottom samples also were analyzed by As, Hg, and Zr. Zr was determined by x-ray fluorescence. Li and Sr were determined for selected water and suspended sediment samples. There is a general decrease downstream in Fe, Cu, …
Pathogenic Free-Living Amoebae In Arkansas Recreational Waters, Leon W. Bone, David A. Becker
Pathogenic Free-Living Amoebae In Arkansas Recreational Waters, Leon W. Bone, David A. Becker
Technical Reports
Selected recreational waters of Arkansas were sampled for pathogenic free-living limax amoebae. Water quality parameters were determined for correlation with amoebic population densities and species diversity. Cultural criteria and animal inoculation revealed no pathogenic strains. The feasibility of introduction and/or induction of pathogenic amoebic strains by environmental factors necessitates further ecological investigaitons.
Survival And Growth Rate Of Channel Catfish As A Function Of Dissolved-Oxygen Concentration, R. W. Raible
Survival And Growth Rate Of Channel Catfish As A Function Of Dissolved-Oxygen Concentration, R. W. Raible
Technical Reports
Channel catfish were raised in water-recirculating systems for several periods of about six months duration each. Initial stock was fingerling size fish (10 to 20 grams). At dissolved-oxygen levels below 2.5 parts per million, mortality was high. Fish raised in tanks held at dissolved-oxygen levels between 3.0 and 6.8 parts per million showed increased gains of weight for each increment of added oxygen. Weight gains were as much as 50 percent higher at 6.8 parts per million compared with weights at 3.0 parts per million. Feed conversion was good in all cases. When feeding was limited to demand, feed conversion …
Biochrome Analysis As A Method For Assessing Phytoplankton Dynamics Phase Ii, Richard L. Meyer
Biochrome Analysis As A Method For Assessing Phytoplankton Dynamics Phase Ii, Richard L. Meyer
Technical Reports
Selected chemical, physical and biological parameters were determined for a man-made lake, Beaver Lake, on the White River of Arkansas and Missouri. The research program determined the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the temporal and spatial distribution of the algal subcommunities. It was determined that the epipelic, epilithic, epizooic and metaphytic subcommunities had little influence on the euplanktonic subcommunity. The relationship between the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the biochromes chlorophyll-a, -b, and -c and the phytoplankton species clustered into biochrome sets is discussed. The temporal and spatial distributional patterns of temperature, oxygen, ammonia-N, nitrate-N, orthophosphate-P and silicates are described …
Movement Of Pesticides In The Soil Water Fertilizer System, H. Don Scott
Movement Of Pesticides In The Soil Water Fertilizer System, H. Don Scott
Technical Reports
A theoretical and experimental study of the transport of pesticides was conducted in several Arkansas soils with metribuzin, a herbicide. In a field study, chloride and metribuzin were applied to a Captina silt loam under maximum leaching conditions and their redistribution was compared with that of soil water. Metribuzin was found in significantly detectable quantities to a depth of 61 cm; the largest concentrations were detected in the surface 23 cm and particularly in the 0-5 cm increment. Two days after application 72.6 and 33.6% could be detected in the vegetation and no-vegetation plots. The metribuzin half life was 7.88 …
Heat And Moisture Conduction In Unsaturated Soils, J. A. Havens, R. E. Babcock
Heat And Moisture Conduction In Unsaturated Soils, J. A. Havens, R. E. Babcock
Technical Reports
Mathematical models are developed for the prediction of heat transfer from hot water pipes buried in the soil. Heat transfer in the absence of moisture transfer is described as a function of the difference between the temperature of the pipe and the temperature of the soil surface. The energy balance is used to determine the longitudinal temperature distribution of the water. The method is extended to describe a system of equally spaced, parallel buried pipes. Soil temperature profiles around the pipes are presented. The model is used to calculate the land area that can be heated by an underground piping …

Technical Reports
The objective of this study was to sample the Buffalo River on a seasonal basis for a year, in order to determine whether any potential water quality problems existed.

Environmental Evaluation Report Onn Various Completed Channel Improvement Projects In Eastern Arkansas, Edward E. Dale Jr., Thomas M. Buchanan, Richard L. Meyer, Robert T. Huffman
Technical Reports
The objective of this report is to evaluate the beneficial and adverse effects that certain channel improvement projects have had on the natural or man-made environments of selected areas in eastern Arkansas. This evaluation will be used as a baseline for determining the immediate and long-term effects that a project may have on the existing environment of the Village Creek Basin.
