This report describes the activities of the Water Resources Division in Mississippi. It summarizes progress made in water-resources investigations and related activities in the current fiscal year ending September 30, 1984, and outlines the work to be accomplished during the fiscal year ending September 30, 1985. Its specific purpose is to inform cooperating State, local, and other Federal agencies about all activities of this Division in water investigations in Mississippi and to give those cooperators a better understanding of how their participation fits into the total USGS program of water resources investigations.

Hydrologic data were collected at 15 stream sites draining potential lignite areas in Calhoun, Montgomery, and Webster Counties during a period of low streamflow. The total dissolved solids ranged from 25 to 14.9 mg/L and most major ion concentrations were less and suspended sediment concentrations were less than 30 mg/L. The pH ranged from 6.7 to 8.1 units. Aluminum concentrations ranged from less than 100 to 500 micrograms per liter. Chromium and zinc concentrations ranged from 1 to 10 micrograms per gram and mercury concentrations ranged from 0.01 to 0.04 micrograms per gram in bottom material. (USGS)
