Abstract
The Boone River, with a drainage area of 906 square miles is located in north central Iowa (Hancock, Wright and Hamilton counties). Like many streams that originate in northern Iowa, the headwaters lie in a slightly rolling, highly agricultural area. As the Boone River proceeds over its 100 mile course to join with the Des Moines River, it cuts into the glacial overburden to form a scenic river valley in the Eagle Grove- Webster City vicinity. It is reportedly one of the most important producers of smallmouth bass in the Des Moines River basin. Previous water quality data acquisition has been limited for the Boone River. In view of this, the Iowa Department of Environmental Quality requested the Limnology Division to conduct a winter water quality survey of the Boone River and its major tributaries Samples were collected for analysis on January 19 and 20, 1976,
