The total alkalinity of unpolluted waters in Tennessee streams can be generally related to the nature of the geological formations comprising the stream beds and soil provinces. Data accumulated from 371 localities in streams which are isolated in distinct and separate geological formations show that sixteen geochemical provinces may be recognized as individually effective in determining the character of fishable streams.
