Excerpt from Physical, Chemical, and Bacteriological Characteristics of Streams in the Great Smoky Mountains National ParkOne hundred ten study streams were sampled 4 times, at intervals of approximately 3 months, starting in October 1977 and ending in September 1978. Samples were taken from the base of most of the 28 major drainages in the park. Extensive sampling was conducted within 8 of the drainages by collecting samples from tributaries at a wide range of elevations and from the main streams at several elevations from the headwaters to the park boundary. Thirty other locations were sampled one or two times. In addition, samples were collected daily from Leconte Creek and one of its low elevation tributaries, Scratch Britches Creek, at an elevation of 590 m, to assess patterns of day to day variation. Twenty - four hour diel studies, with samples collected every 3 hours, were conducted on 8 streams under varying weather conditions. Sample locations are shown in Figure 1.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
