Excerpt from A Summary of Water Quality for the Menard Creek Corridor Unit, Lance Rosier Unit and Little Pine Island Bayou Corridor Unit of Big Thicket National Preserve, Texas (1975-1983)The Big Thicket National Preserve (bith) in southeastern Texas contains diverse water resources, including the lower Neches River, several major streams and smaller tributaries, and extensive floodplain forest, baygall, and cypress sloughs. Present land-use activities within the watershed of bith, such as oil and gas development, timber harvesting, and residential development, may adversely influence the quality of the water entering the preserve.This report synthesizes available water quality information for three Management Units - the Menard Creek Corridor Unit, Lance Rosier Unit, and Little Pine Island Bayou Corridor Unit-in Big Thicket National Preserve. Water quality data in Pine Island Bayou upstream of bith was also evaluated since Pine Island Bayou flows into the Little Pine Island Bayou Corridor Unit. It was observed that water quality in these units is moderately degraded. Elevated bacterial concentrations were frequently found in Menard Creek, Pine Island Bayou, and Little Pine Island Bayou. In addition, high specific conductance values and chloride concentrations were occasionally reported from stations located downstream from oil and gas operations.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
