In regions where soil temperatures limit plant growth, artificial
soil warming may be an economically feasible practice. This hypothesis
was evaluated in a soil warming experiment near Corvallis, Oregon.
This experiment was prompted by the observation that multiple
use of waste heat discharged in the condenser cooling water of thermal...

Multiple use of waste heat from power plants may become an important consideration in their development and siting. The heat in the cooling water must be considered a resource to be managed for effective use. Soil warming was suggested as one of several possible productive uses for the heated discharges....
