Heavy Metals in the Flood Plain Deposits Along the Upper Clark Fork River
Concentrations of copper, arsenic and cadmium in sediments and soils deposited on the flood plain of the upper Clark Fork River drainage were determined to be one to two orders of magnitude greater than in soils from typical noncontaminated systems. Aerial deposition of metal particulates during the period of smelting activities (1884-1980) has contributed approximately 2% of the excess copper,...
متن کاملThe Lower Paraguay river-floodplain habitats in the context of the Fluvial Hydrosystem Approach
We report herein the first description of the physical structure of the aquatic habitats of the Lower Paraguay River along 390 km from Asunción city (Paraguay) to the confluence with the Paraná River. The hierarchical ordination of the Fluvial Hydrosystem Approach (FHA) allowed us to classify the Lower Paraguay as a meandering functional sector where five functional sets were identified: (a) ma...
متن کاملChemical Reactions Controlling Copper Transportation in the Upper Clark Fork of the Columbia River
The transport of a trace metal through an aquatic surface system depends on many variables. Some of these include temperature, flow rate, amount and type of other chemicals, and the nature of any suspended materials. This dependence reflects the chemical species that are toxic and those less toxic (1-4, 6-9, 11). In the Clark Fork River headwaters all of these variables are important a~ must be...
متن کاملA Synthesis of Water Quality Problems in the Clark Fork River Basin
The Clark Fork River ecosystem is not just that water that maps call the Clark Fork River. This ribbon of surface water interacts with ground water, with the local climate, with the landscape through which it passes, and with the tributaries that feed it. These interactions acting over time determine the river's nature or overall condition. As users of the river we tend to be most concerned abo...
متن کاملCopper, Zinc, and Arsinic in Bottom Sediments of Clark Fork River Reservoirs: Preliminary Findings
Acetic acid extracts of sediments from four Clark Fork River reservoirs,--Milltown, Thompson Falls, Noxon Rapids, and Cabinet Gorge--indicate that mining and smelting operations in the upper drainage have enriched metal concentrations throughout the river. Milltown Reservoir contains metal values over 10 times the background levels for copper, zinc, and arsenic. Enrichment over background decre...
