SUSQUEHANNA RIVER MONITORING : Monitoring the water quality of the upper Susquehanna River , summer 1997

As part of an ongoing study, the water quality of the Susquehanna River between Otsego Lake and its junction with Oaks Creek was monitored during the summer of 1997. This monitoring program is designed to determine the assimilative capacity of the Susquehanna River below the point of discharge of the Village Sewage Treatment Plant. The study helps to detect point sources of pollution. The water...

Atlantic Salmon Reproduction in the Upper Susquehanna River

Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salad redds were exanuned in t.he upperSusqueherma River during November of 1992 and 1993 at Cooperstown, W{, In 1993, ten redds were composed of 10% boulder, 12% cobble, 52% pebble, 18% gravel and 8% sand. Five redds in 1992 had a composition of 42% cobble, 36% gravel and 10% sand. Fish were sampled with a fine rnesh drift net to provide ages, lengths, weights and sex. A...

SUSQUEHANNA RIVER MONITORING: Monitoring the water quality and fecal colifonn bacteria in the upper Susquehanna River, summer 2000

As part of an ongoing study by the Biological Field Station, the Susquehanna River was monitored during the summer of2000 to ensure that the water quality below the Village of Cooperstown Water Treatment Plant was maintained within regulated limits. Weekly, water quality was monitored for fecal colifonn bacteria, as well as other chemical and physical characteristics. Results show that total ph...

Sediment yield mapping in a large river basin: the Upper Yangtze, China

A number of studies have mapped sediment yield at global or regional scales using sediment load measurements from rivers. However, the suitability of the limited mapping methods has not been fully addressed, particularly for large river basins where the sediment load data were obtained from a hierarchical river network. This study examines some of the issues related to the mapping approaches us...
