Hoffman and Raj V. KiIambi Fayetteville, Arkansas 1970 univ ers ity Libra ry , UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FAYETTEVILLE. ARKANSAS ABSTRACT Water qualities of two natural streams (Buffalo and Kings Rivers), one new coId-tailwater (Beaver), and two old coId-tailwaters (Norfork and Bull Shoals) in northwestern Arkansas were studied from July 1965 through October 1968. The essential difference between the old cold-tailwaters and natural streams is a change in water quality which allows the development of a new productive ecological environment.
