Creator:: Schroth, Martin Herbert
Abstract:: Chromium spills on soils are causing severe groundwater contamination problems. To increase the performance of cleanup methods, the chemical behavior of chromium in soils and its transport through soils have to be understood. The objectives of this research were to investigate the sorption characteristics of chromium(VI) in soil and to...

Creator:: Tang, Shing Shirly
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to provide an understanding of the interrelationships between fresh and salt water Circulation, tidal transport and flushing patterns in the Chetco River estuary and its boat basins. Field work and water quality measurements were conducted at the entrance of the Chetco River during 1975...

Creator:: Utt, Michael Ernest
Abstract:: Seasonal data on tides, water quality and sediments in the Siuslaw Estuary were collected. Tide and velocity data were analyzed to evaluate damping conditions in the estuary. The system was found to approximate a weakly damped standing wave. A strong relationship of damping conditions to river flow was observed. The...

Creator:: Weise, Harry Gordon
Abstract:: Aerial photography has become a valuable method of acquiring information on estuarine current circulation patterns. The method provides a comprehensive picture of nearly simultaneous surface water movements. It represents a significant improvement over conventional surface float and current meter methods because large areas may be covered in great detail with...

Creator:: Crane, Stuart R.
Abstract:: The indiscriminate release of fecal bacteria to the environment can present a public health hazard when pathogenic species gain access to drinking and recreational water sources. The extent of bacterial contamination of surface and ground waters associated with animal production units and waste application areas seems largely dependent on the...

Creator:: Muellenhoff, W. P.
Abstract:: The biochemical degradation of domestic sludge deposits exposed to benthic marine conditions was investigated using a laboratory Deep Sea Simulator. The rate and extent of deposit stabilization were determined for select hydrostatic pressures and hydrogen acceptor conditions by monitoring depletion of particulate organic carbon in 2.0 and 3.0 centimeter deposits....

Creator:: McKenzie, David Roller
Abstract:: During 1973 data was collected to analyze the seasonal variations of the tidal dynamics, water quality and sediments of the Alsea Estuary. A summary of historical information with a list of all known alterations to the estuary was made. A complete physical description, including the geographical setting and mixing classification...

Creator:: Heggen, Richard J.
Abstract:: Two strategic approaches to water quality control in Oregon's Willamette River are presently being utilized: point source treatment and flow augmentation. Dry weather releases from reservoirs are for authorized purposes other than water quality. Reservoirs can participate in pollution control by summer flow augmentation where authorized water resource objectives (flood...
