Distribution Of Trace Elements In A Warm Water Release Impoundment, J. Nix
Distribution Of Trace Elements In A Warm Water Release Impoundment, J. Nix
Technical Reports
A detailed water quality survey (including trace metals) was conducted on DeGray Reservoir in south west Arkansas from 1969 through 1975. The results of this investigation are used to describe physical and chemical processes which affect the concentration of many of the constituents found in the reservoir and river system. Detailed dissolved oxygen profiles as well as turbidity (% transmittance) profiles were useful in delineating the movement of water through the reservoir. Underflows, innerflows, and overflows were observed during different seasons. The development of a metalimnetic dissolved oxygen minima appears to be related to advective transport within the metalimnion. Metalimnetic …
An Analysis Of Residential Water Demand Schedules In Arkansas, Richard K. Ford, Joseph A. Zieger
An Analysis Of Residential Water Demand Schedules In Arkansas, Richard K. Ford, Joseph A. Zieger
Technical Reports
Water has held man's interest for centuries, and a considerable body of knowledqe has been developed about this subject, but it has only been considered only recently by decision makers in an economic sense. Because water is required to sustain life, the thought of its being an economic good to individuals has not been considered applicable or "fair" by those individuals who are concerned with its acquisition and distribution. Moreover, water has been in fairly abundant supply relative to demand for most of the country. However, as this situation is upset by increases in population and water use, a realization …
Water Quality Aspects Of Coal Transportation By Slurry Pipeline, James W. Moore
Water Quality Aspects Of Coal Transportation By Slurry Pipeline, James W. Moore
Technical Reports
The research program was designed to accomplish three major objectives. These were tot 1) identify and characterize the water quality changes that will occur as a result of the movement of western coal by slurry pipeline; 2) determine the feasibility of utilizing poor (impaired) quality water, such as municipal and industrial effluents, as the slurry medium, and: 3) determine the treatment measures applicable for restoring the slurry wastewater quality to acceptable levels, if required. The focus of the research program was generic rather than specific for any particular pipeline. Consequently, the emphasis was on establishing general ranges of data rather …
A Five Year Water Research Plan For The State Of Arkansas, Robert E. Babcock
A Five Year Water Research Plan For The State Of Arkansas, Robert E. Babcock
Technical Reports
The present economy and quality of life in Arkansas have largely been determined by our natural resources and the way they have been used. Likewise, insuring a sound economic future and a healthful environment in the state will depend on the efficiency and the wisdom with which nature's gifts are managed in the future. As the state's population grows and places new demands on finite resources, the need for effective resource management becomes increasingly critical. Often, a history of plenty can lead to the belated recognition of emerging resource problems. In Arkansas, such is the case with the state's water …
Portable Environmental Data Logger And Sensor, Robert N. Maccallum, R. A. Sims
Portable Environmental Data Logger And Sensor, Robert N. Maccallum, R. A. Sims
Technical Reports
An instrumentation and recording package and several transducers were constructed and used to collect data on the environmental parameters thought to affect wetland vegetation growth and reproduction. These parameters were temperature, humidity, wind velocity, depth of water table, and amount of surface water. The data were collected four times a day and recorded on a magnetic cassette tape that could record for as long as 90 days. The tapes were read and the data were converted to engineering units by a microcomputer-based instrument constructed for that purpose.

Effects Of Changes In Surface Water Regime And/Or Land Use On The Vertical Distribution Of Water Available For Wetland Vegetation: Dynamic Model Of The Zone Of Aeration (Part 1 Of Completion Report For Project A-023-Ark), Robert N. Maccallum, R. A. Sims
Technical Reports
A mathematical model by Green, simulating one-dimensional vertical ground-water movement in unsaturated soils of the prairie region of Kansas, has been adapted for use in a wetlands environment typified by the wetlands forest of Eastern Arkansas. The model consists of two second-order, non-linear, partial differential equations and an algorithm for their numerical solution. The original model was extended to include functions for seasonal changes in transpiration and for drainage of excess precipitation. Before the addition of the two functions, the model reliability was limited to one growth season.

Simultaneous Transport Of Water And 3hoh In Water, H. D. Scott
Simultaneous Transport Of Water And 3hoh In Water, H. D. Scott
Technical Reports
Dispersion of 3HOH was studied at flow velocities less than 14 cm/day in a Captina silt loam using the half-cell technique. Two directions of transport were studied: movement of 3HOH in the same direction as water, and movement of 3HOH in the opposite direction to that of water. Results indicated that the dispersion coefficients were velocity dependent for equilibration times ranging to 21 hours. As the average pore flow velocity increased, the length of time needed for the dispersion coefficients to become independent of the flow velocity increased. When considering transport of 3HOH in the same …
Chemistry Of The Spring Waters Of The Ouachita Mountains Excluding Hot Springs, Arkansas, George H. Wagner, Kenneth F. Steele
Chemistry Of The Spring Waters Of The Ouachita Mountains Excluding Hot Springs, Arkansas, George H. Wagner, Kenneth F. Steele
Technical Reports
This report is based on the chemical analysis of the waters from 93 springs and 9 wells. Springs, when free from metal plumbing, provide an uncontaminated source of the ground water and it was desired to obtain water uncontaminated with metals. A few wells were added to the list, usually because of their unique location in the sampling grid.

An Analysis Of The Irreversible Thermodynamics Model For Coupled Heat And Moisture Transport Phenomena In Unsaturated Porous Media, J. A. Havens
Technical Reports
The Irreversible Thermodynamics-based model for the description of coupled heat and moisture transfer, attributed to Cary and Taylor, was analyzed. The transport coefficients appearing in the model equations were independently determined, and the equations were numerically integrated to predict temperature and moisture content profiles for a closed system of water unsaturated glass beads. An experimental investigation of the moist glass beads medium provided measurements of steady-state profiles of local temperatures and moisture content. These data, when compared with model predictions, indicated the validity of the Irreversible Thermodynamics approach. The coupling coefficient relating thermal gradients to moisture flux was found to …

Relation Of Magnetic And Gravity Field Data To Selected Structural Elements Of The Central Portion Of The Arkoma Basin, John H. Mcbride
Relation Of Magnetic And Gravity Field Data To Selected Structural Elements Of The Central Portion Of The Arkoma Basin, John H. Mcbride
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
In order to acquire a greater understanding of some of the major basement structural features characteristic of the Arkoma basin, magnetic and gravity data have been collected and analyzed for a selected area. Several anomalies exist and are found to be associated with faulting or major fracturing in the Precambrian basement. Modelling of source bodies based on magnetic and gravity values provides quantitative estimates of the depth as well as the geometry of basement structural geology.
Stratigraphic Relationships Of The Brentwood And Woolsey Members, Bloyd Formation (Type Morrowan), Northwest Arkansas, Thomas A. Mcgilvery, Charles E. Berlau
Stratigraphic Relationships Of The Brentwood And Woolsey Members, Bloyd Formation (Type Morrowan), Northwest Arkansas, Thomas A. Mcgilvery, Charles E. Berlau
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
The Brentwood Member of the Bloyd Formation conformably overlies the Prairie Grove Member, Hale Formation in the type Morrowan succession of northwestern Arkansas. At its type locality, the Brentwood is separated from the underlying Prairie Grove Member by nearly 6 m of dark shale. Away from this area, the shale thins rapidly and the Hale-Bloyd boundary may be placed with difficulty. At some localities east of type section, the boundary is thought to be erosional rather than the more typical gradational contact. The Brentwood consists of discrete carbonate bodies separated by dark shales. The carbonates consist principally of open shelf …
Mercury Content Of Waters In The Midcontinent Region, Larry Barber Ii, Kenneth F. Steele
Mercury Content Of Waters In The Midcontinent Region, Larry Barber Ii, Kenneth F. Steele
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Two major areas of the midcontinent region were investigated for their aqueous mercury concentrations. Sixteen surface water and 17 ground water samples were collected in an eleven county area of N.W. Arkansas, S.W. Missouri and N.E. Oklahoma (Ozark area) and analyzed for total dissolved mercury by the flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometric method. The range (<0.2 to 0.8 ppb), the mean (0.4 ppb) and the median (0.4 ppb) are the same for both ground water and surface water. Values obtained for the Ozark area are slightly greater than those reported for surface water by others (about 0.1 ppb), but are well within the range reported for surface waters (0.1 to 17.0 ppb). The range for 102 ground water samples from the Ouachita Mountain area is <0.1 to 2.3 ppb, the mean 0.3 ppb and the median 0.1 ppb. Thus, the mercury values for this area are similar to those of the Ozark area except fora higher upper range. The mercury mineralization (cinnabar) in the southern part of the Ouachita Mountain area, in part, is the cause of the higher values. Only two samples (2.1 and 2.3 ppb), both from the Ouachita Mountain area, exceed the EPA drinking water limits of 2 ppb mercury in the western Arkansas region.
Hydrogeologic And Geochemical Investigation Of The Boone-St. Joe Limestone Aquifer In Benton County, Arkansas, Albert E. Ogden
Hydrogeologic And Geochemical Investigation Of The Boone-St. Joe Limestone Aquifer In Benton County, Arkansas, Albert E. Ogden
Technical Reports
The Boone-St. Joe limestone aquifer is an important unconfined aquifer for rural residents of Benton County, Arkansas. Pumping tests indicate a large range in production capability of the aquifer. The coefficient of transmissibility and specific capacity range from 24.8 to 24640 gpd/ft and 0.03 to 30 gpm/ft, respectively. No statistical relationship at a = 0.10 was found between each of these parameters and photo-lineament proximity. Drillers' estimated well yield (gpm) also showed no relationship to photo-lineament proximity. It is therefore concluded that choosing well sites along photo-lineaments for higher production is not as reliable for karstified carbonate aquifers such as …
Water, Waste And Quality Management During Preparation And Processing Of Vegetables, W. A. Sistrunk
Water, Waste And Quality Management During Preparation And Processing Of Vegetables, W. A. Sistrunk
Technical Reports
The research was designed to test and/or develop new systems of washing, peeling and blanching, develop methods of utilization of solid wastes, and find ways to reduce wastestrength of effluent without affecting quality of vegetables for processing. The highest wastestrength of effluent from vegetable processing in the region was found in plants that were canning Irish potatoes, dry beans and hominy. The high volumes of water used for washing spinach and leafy greens and the physical damage to the washed product is one of the major problems. Repetitive washing of spinach in the same water did not affect quality as …
Study Of Cumulative Growth-Inhibiting Factors In Recycled Water For Catfish Cultivation, R. W. Raible
Study Of Cumulative Growth-Inhibiting Factors In Recycled Water For Catfish Cultivation, R. W. Raible
Technical Reports
Channel catfish were grown in tanks with integral biological filters and complete recirculation of water. After the fish had resided in the tanks for 120 days, solvent extraction was performed on a portion of the tank water. Fresh pond-raised specimen channel catfish showed decreases in their heartbeat rates of about 20 percent when exposed to the extract. This metabolic disturbance is thought to be a factor in reducing the growth rate of fish held in close confinement in recirculating systems.
Lithostratigraphy Of The Cane Hill Member Of The Hale Formation (Type Morrowan), Northwest Arkansas, Robert T. Liner
Lithostratigraphy Of The Cane Hill Member Of The Hale Formation (Type Morrowan), Northwest Arkansas, Robert T. Liner
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
The Hale Formation (lower Morrowan Series) is a sequence of sandstones and shales divided into the Cane Hill(lower) and Prairie Grove Members. In Washington County, Arkansas, the type Cane Hill consists predominantly of interbedded fine-grained, noncalcareous sandstones and silty shales often with a pebble conglomerate at its base. The member rests unconformably on Chesterian Strata of either the Pitkin Formation or underlying Fayetteville Formation, and it is unconformably overlain by the Prairie Grove Member. In Washington County, the Cane Hill exhibits a slight thickening trend to the south and east. Interpretation of sedimentary structures indicates that the Cane Hill was …

Preliminary Investigation Of Rural-Use Aquifers Of Boone, Carroll, And Madison Counties, Arkansas, Albert E. Ogden, Nancy L. Taylor, Steve D. Thompson
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Approximately 500 water wells having driller's lithologic logs were plottedin Boone, Carroll, and Madison Counties, Arkansas. Three aquifers were found to be used by the rural residents and smaller communities. The most shallow of these is the Mississippian Boone-St. Joe aquifer. This aquifer is generally the least productive having a range of .25 to 60 gpm but a median productivity of only 5 gpm. Well depths for the Boone-St. Joe range from 46 to 464 ft. and have a median depth of 225 ft. The Boone-St. Joe aquifer is unconfined to semi-confined and yields sufficient quantities of water only when …
Fate Of Some Common Radionuclides Found In Dardanelle Lake, David M. Chittenden Ii
Fate Of Some Common Radionuclides Found In Dardanelle Lake, David M. Chittenden Ii
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Four factors influence the concentrations of radionuclides in Dardanelle Lake water: injections due to fallout and discharge from Nuclear I coupled with losses due to decay, to dilution and to sedimentation. It is possible to estimate the first three factors and to measure monthly changes in the concentrations of Sr-89, Ce-141, Cs-137, Co-38, Ce-144, and Sr-90 - Y-90 during periods when the concentrations of these nuclides are abnormally high (after large releases or the Chinese weapons tests) or abnormally low (during reactor refueling).
Hydrogeologic Investigation Of A Landfill Site In Washington County, Arkansas, Albert E. Ogden, Carlos J. Quintana
Hydrogeologic Investigation Of A Landfill Site In Washington County, Arkansas, Albert E. Ogden, Carlos J. Quintana
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
A proposed landfill site near Wheeler, Washington Co., Arkansas, was investigated for its hydrogeologic suitability. The site is located on the highly fractured, cavernous, and cherty Boone Ls. The site is a small upland valley 4500 ft. north of Clear Creek. The valley containing the proposed site is a karst dry valley in which precipitation rapidly infiltrates, recharging the water table and local springs. The water table around the site was mapped to determine the hydraulic gradient and direction of ground-water movement. The water table slopes in a SE direction from the landfill towards Clear Creek with a steep hydraulic …

A Limnological Study Of Ricks Pond And The Gulpha Creek Drainage In Garland County, Arkansas, Tom M. Buchanan, James Houston, Joe F. Nix, Richard L. Meyer, Eugene H. Schmitz
Technical Reports
A limnological investigation of Ricks Pond and the Gulpha Creek drainage of Garland County, Arkansas was conducted between 1 June 1978, and 21 August 1978. Water samples taken from ten stations on three different dates indicated that the stream and pond systems were typical in water quality characteristics of other small, high gradient streams and impoundments in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas. In Ricks Pond, thermal stratification occurred along with the development of an oxygen deficient zone below a depth of one meter. Other water quality parameters indicated that Ricks Pond is a moderately productive ecosystem, with the productivity limited …
