Abstract

A water quality survey of the East, Middle and West Nodaway Rivers was conducted on August 14 and 15, 1978 by personnel of the University Hygienic Laboratory. Stream flows were quite high at approximately thirty times the 7 day Q10. Water quality was found to be generally good throughout the reach. Scattered showers occurred on August 15 which caused increases in fecal coliforms, turbidity and BOD as well as a decrease in specific conductance to be observed at some stations. Water quality is expected to remain good at these high flows.
