Discharge, temperature, and specific conductance measurements were made August 15 and 16, 1989, at 74 main channel sites and seven tributaries on Bayou and Little Bayou Creeks in the vicinity of the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant. These measurements were made during base flow conditions to provide data for analysis of the interaction of surface and ground water. The discharge of Bayou Creek was 0.30 cubic feet per second (ft 3 /s) at the most upstream site, and 5.8 ft 3 /s at the most downstream site. Total measured tributary inflow of Bayou Creek was 5.7 ft 3 /s. Specific conductance values in the Bayou Creek watershed ranged from 208 to 489 microsiemens per centimeter (/zS/cm), and water temperature ranged from 20.0 to 32.6 degrees Celsius (°C). The discharge of Little Bayou Creek was 0.65 ft 3 /s at the most upstream site, and 1.8 ft 3 /s at the most downstream site. Total measured tributary inflow of Little Bayou Creek was 0.38 ft 3 /s. Specific conductance values in the Little Bayou Creek watershed ranged from 211 to 272 ^S/cm, and water temperature ranged from 14.5 to 24.9°C.

Discharge and specific conductance were measured February 15 through April 9, 1984 during base flow of streams in 18 watersheds in the vicinity of the Y-12 Plant of the Oak Ridge Reservation, Tennessee. Discharge of springs and streams measured at specific sites ranged from 0 to 16 cubic feet per second. Specific conductance ranged from 23 to 6,300 micromhos per centimeter. During the days of instantaneous discharge measurements, flow of Bear Creek at the continuous-record station at Highway 95 near Oak Ridge ranged from 3.6 to 17 cubic feet per second.
