Kansas River

Health advisories have been issued near Lawrence, Kansas, based on chlordane levels in edible fish tissues. In fish from the Kansas River, Kansas, in 1986, chlordanes were detected more frequently and at higher levels than other contaminants measured (Arruda et al. 1987). More than 80% of the sites sampled in Kansas had detectable chlordanes in fish at more than 50% of these sites, levels exceeded 0.1 mg/kg fresh weight — a guideline for the protection of predatory fish. At three urban sites in Kansas, concentrations of chlordanes in fish have approached or exceeded...

Relations of Silt-Load to Flow and Velocity—It is difficult to obtain a relation between silt-load and flow and velocity, since the amount of silt present depends on unpredictable factors. In connection with studies of silt transportation in the Missouri River by the Corps of Engineers (19356), the following empirical relations were obtained at Kansas City...
