Summaries of water-quality data collected during 1979-87 for selected James River and refuge locations in North Dakota and South Dakota

Abstract

water-quality characteristics and constituents of samples from U.S. Geological Survey gaging stations 22. Bimonthly (summer) means of selected water-quality characteristics and constituents of samples from U.S. Bureau of Reclamation data-collection areas 23. Bimonthly (summer) means of selected water-quality characteristics and constituents of samples from areas within the Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge, North Dakota 24. Number of measurements of water-quality characteristics

Cluster analysis of water-quality data for Lake Sakakawea, Audubon Lake, and McClusky Canal, central North Dakota, 1990-2003

“…Previous studies of water quality related to the GDU have focused on the potential water-quality impact on the James River (Briel, 1988;Sando and others, 1990) and the Sheyenne/Red River system (Guenthner, 1991(Guenthner, , 1993 if streamflows were augmented by water from the GDU. Studies also have examined the effects of GDU irrigation on ground water (Goolsby and others, 1989;Berkas and Komor, 1996) and the James River (Briel, 1989).…”

Geochemistry of soils and shallow ground water, with emphasis on arsenic and selenium, in part of the Garrison Diversion Unit, North Dakota, 1985-87

“…The river was not a subject of this investigation, but its chemical characteristics have been discussed in a separate report (Briel, 1988). Since the chemical characteristics of the James River are important in evaluating potential effects of expanded irrigation in the GDU, a statistical summary of chemical data from five gaging stations on the James River from north of Arrowwood Lake to the North Dakota-South Dakota State line ( fig.…”
