RESULTS <br />The results of the data collected and compiled <br />during this study are presented in the "Water- Quality <br />Data" section at the back of this report. Onsite mea- <br />surements, bacteriological data at selected stations, and <br />selected inorganic data for all stations sampled during <br />the study are listed in tables 2-660. Selected surface - <br />water stations with pesticide data are listed in table 61; <br />selected stations with radiochemical data are listed <br />in table 62; and selected stations with suspended - <br />sediment data are listed in table 63. Results of field - <br />collected quality- assurance data for the purpose of <br />assessing potential sample contamination are listed in <br />tables 64 and 65. <br />REFERENCES CITED <br />Abbott, P.O., 1985, Description of water - systems opera- <br />tions in the Arkansas River Basin, Colorado: <br />U.S. Geological Survey Water - Resources Investiga- <br />tions Report 85-4092, 67 p. <br />Britton, L.J., and Greeson, P.E., eds.,1987, Methods for col- <br />lection and analysis of aquatic biological and microbio- <br />logical samples: U.S. Geological Survey Techniques <br />of Water - Resources Investigations, book 5, chap.
