Wabash River

There is one day that will always stick out in my mind. I was down at the Wabash River with my family and friends celebrating Labor Day. I was doing what any second grader would be doing, riding my bike, enjoying the outside. I had no care in the world while I was riding my bike. I only cared about two things, having fun and the wonderful weather. She made sure to have my cousin, who is twelve, to keep a closer look on me that way she could help my grandparents get the food ready for the cookout

most occurring in January. Location and Geographic position Terre Haute is positioned in the Midwestern state of Indiana. The Wabash River makes up the majority of the city, developing its western perimeter. Terre Haute is located just shy of five hundred feet above sea level at 39°28′11″N 87°23′23″W in conjunction with the east panel of the river known as the Wabash in western portion of Indiana. Most of the city of Berkeley assembles on hilly plains that upsurge gradually from sea level to the

The Upper Wabash River faces a vast majority of issues that affect the quality of the watershed. The watershed has long been used for agricultural purposes that cause stress on the watershed. Through various point source and non-point source pollution various water systems have been affected with some being even impaired. 3.1 Nutrients One of the major stresses within the Upper Wabash River is nutrients. The state of Indiana has a target of 10 mg/L of nitrate levels. During an water quality

took her shotgun, turned the lights out, and made sure Joey and Mary Alice were silent. Then, she heard a file on the screen door, and she bolted down stairs and blasted them with a cherry bomb. BOOM! 1931: A One-Woman Crime Wave. At the Wabash railroad tracks, as the drifters were coming in, grandma set out food for them. Then the sheriff finds out. She said, that she is a one-woman crime wave, and that she was running an unregistered soup kitchen, but Grandma said “Go look it up O.B.

Editor, The Edmonton Herald-News 40 Years Ago Opryland’s new thriller roller coaster, the Wabash Cannonball opened at the theme park in Nashville. Roy Acuff, Mrs. Acuff, and the Smokey Mountain Boys took the first ride. Acuff who recorded the song ‘Wabash Cannonball’ in 1936, said he had never ridden that train and wanted the first ride on the park’s ‘Cannonball.” The new 70 foot high super thriller amusement ride, one of

iscuss what is meant by “ecological integrity” and relate this concept to rivers. In your answer describe the components of a river we could use to ‘measure’ integrity Ecological integrity? Ecological integrity 1.3 pdf Ecological integrity perceived as the ‘maintenance of all internal and external processes and attributes interacting with the environment in such a way that the biotic community corresponds to the natural state of the type-specific aquatic habitat, according to the principles of

Colorado River The Colorado River had the highest water quality of all tested sites. The dissolved oxygen at this site was 8.92 mg/L and could be attributed to a number of different reasons (Table 1). The sample was taken when the sun was high and water dwelling plants had been photosynthesizing for a number of hours. The water was flowing fairly quickly and there was a small riffle at the area where the reading was taken which could have increased dissolved oxygen of the water. The river had a

Descriptive Statistics The spatiotemporal pattern of water quality in the Reedy Fork and Buffalo Creek watersheds exhibits a trend of river deterioration, mainly due to Fecal Coliform. Our study suggests that most of the pollution sources were related to human activities. Looking at table 2a to 5b, it is clear that, F.Col, coliform is the dominant parameter with the highest means in all the sites, both at the Reedy Fork and Buffalo Creek watersheds. However, there are higher mean values of this nutrient

sites The Merced River is the southernmost watercourse of the California Central Valley presently inhabited by Chinook salmon whose abundance has decreased by 75% since 1950 (Yoshiyama et al., 2000). From its headwaters located in Yosemite National Park, Sierra Nevada, the Merced River flows west to join the San Joaquín River (river km 190) and drains a watershed approximately 3,297 km2 in size. Meanwhile, the elevation declines from 3,048 m to about 18.3 m. Only the first 82 river km are reachable

Figure 1. The species richness of aquatic macro-invertebrates among three stream types. The same number of species was found in the forest and urban streams. There was an insignificantly higher number of species found in the agriculture stream. Figure 2. The biotic index of the three types of streams was calculated by the sum of total tolerance values divided by the sum of total number of individuals. The forest stream had the lowest FBI value, followed by the urban stream and the agriculture
