Abstract
An attempt is made to ascertain the background levels and to measure seasonal variations of selected trace and minor elements in the major streams of the Lower Kansas River Basin. Knowledge of the trace element chemistry of river waters is becoming increasingly more important as the rate of use of stream waters increases. Excepting the case of strontium, no strong relation between trace element concentration and geology lithology was noted. To ascertain properly trace element background levels in streams, long‐term sampling covering at least one seasonal cycle is essential. Variations in drainage basin geology have only a minor controlling influence on the trace element geochemistry of the wastes studied.
