Analysis of multiple pesticides in urban storm water using solid-phase extraction
(Springer New York, 2000-01)An analytical method was developed using C(18) solid-phase extraction and gas chromatography-nitrogen phosphorus detection (GC-NPD) to determine the presence and quantity of 12 contemporary pesticides in storm water runoff ... -
Assessment of water quality in Wichita, Kansas, using an index of biotic integrity and analysis of bed sediment and fish tissue for organochlorine insecticides
(Springer New York, 2000-11)This study investigated water quality of the Arkansas River and its tributaries in the Wichita, Kansas, area. Water quality assessment included an evaluation of urban versus agricultural areas using a twofold approach: (1) ... -
Comparison of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and immunoassay techniques on concentrations of atrazine in storm runoff
(Springer New York, 1996-10)Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques were used to measure concentrations of dissolved atrazine in 149 surface-water samples. Samples were collected during ... -
A comparison of selected diversity, similarity, and biotic indices for detecting changes in benthic-invertebrate community structure and stream quality
(Springer New York, 2000-11)Implementation of advanced wastewater treatment at the two municipal wastewater-treatment plants for Indianapolis, Indiana, resulted in substantial improvement in the quality of the receiving stream and significant changes ... -
Development of an index of biotic integrity for the Little Arkansas River Basin, Kansas
(Springer New York, 2000-11)An index of biotic integrity (IBI) was developed for the Little Arkansas River Basin (LARB) in south-central Kansas by establishing a reference condition for the watershed. Twelve metrics, in six categories, were chosen ... -
Evaluating best management practices at an urban golf course
(John Wiley & Sons, 2002-05)This three-year study evaluated the effects of best management practices (BMPs) in reducing surface water contamination at an urban golf course. Water samples were collected before BMP implementation from two ponds on ...
