Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to obtain baseline data on the fish and benthic communities of eight Lower Mississippi flood-plain lakes, including abandoned channel type I, abandoned channel type II, and oxbow lakes. Fish communities were sampled and evaluated using electrofishing, experimental gill netting, and rotenone. The comparison of fish populations of oxbow lakes and abandoned channel type II lakes illustrated similarity in species occurrence, relative abundance, and length frequency. Abandoned channel type I fish populations were not similar to those of the other two lakes. Fish and population data illustrated that although fish are transient among main channel and floodplain habitats during high-water periods, there are particular habitat types that provide important spawning and nursery areas, forage availability and cover for the majority of the lower Mississippi River fishes when river flow is within the channel top banks. Length frequency analysis showed similarities in size categories of fish from all habitats sampled. Threadfin shad comprised the dominant forage base at most habitats. Year class strength coincides with changing hydrology, and it is therefore impossible to characterize static fish standing stocks from each specific habitat.

Book excerpt: The severe 1973 spring flood in the Mississippi River basin had its beginnings in the mild, wet fall and winter of 1972. Many tributary streams and reservoir levels were well above normal throughout the basin when heavy spring rains begin to fall. Frequent and prolonged warm rains associated with extratropical cyclones and frontal activities fell over large areas of the Mississippi basin in March and April 1973. The cumulative effect of those rainfalls lead to the 1973 Mississippi River basin flood, characterized by its long duration, high volumes of runoff, and large coincident tonnage of sediment transported.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lessons learned from this flood focus on the performance of the levees, governmental responses, the effects of flood fighting, change in stages due to levee breaches, flood modeling, and the lack of information dissemination to the public on the technical aspects of the flood. These lessons point out information gaps and the need for research in the areas of hydraulics and hydrology, meteorology, sediment transport and sedimentation, surface and ground-water interactions, water quality, and levees. The report presents a comprehensive summary of the 1993 flood as far as climate, hydrology, and hydraulics are concerned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text, written by a leading researcher in the field, describes the origin and formation of lakes in order to give context to the question of how lacustrine deposits form. It explains the process of sedimentation in lakes and the chemistry of those deposits and describes how the age of lake deposits are determined. Additionally, this book shows how different groups of fossils are used in interpreting the paleontological record of lakes. In order to illustrate the more synthetic approaches to interpreting the history of lakes, the author also discusses such special topics as lake-level history, lake evolution, and the impact of environmental change on lakes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A general environmental inventory of physical and cultural elements in the Middle Mississippi River floodplain (St. Louis, MS, to Cairo, IL) is provided as a reference source for preparation of environmental impact statements. Physical elements discussed include geology, soils, and climate. Cultural elements are population, economic conditions, waterborne commerce, archeology, history, outdoor recreation, and land use. Geological data, including maps prepared at a scale of 1:250,000, are presented for regional bedrock geology, structural geology (including seismic activity), economic geology, and physiography. Other geology-related items discussed are groundwater geology, historical geology, and rare and unusual geological features. Available maps and narrative descriptions for soils in the Missouri and Illinois counties bordering the river channel are presented for soil classifications relevant to agricultural use. Monthly averages of temperatures and precipitation for St. Louis and Cairo, climatic effects on agriculture, and severe weather are discussed.
