A rapid expansion of population and industrialization in recent
years has created new and difficult problems in water resources
management. Prudent management of water quality will require that
more efficient methods be developed for evaluating large volumes of
data on complex river systems, and tabulating the results in a form...
Few Americans are aware of the tremendous
recreation potentials along the banks of the Intracoastal
Waterway, mainly because they are unaware of
the existence and extent of the toll-free Waterway.
This study attempts to categorize and locate some of
the attractions that can be explored along the two
thousand miles...
"This progress report describes research conducted on pulp mill waste degradation in marine waters ... Engineering investigations ... have centered upon (a) treatment of mill wastes by dilution; (b) foam separation of strong wastes and (c) treatment of evaporator condensates by carbon adsorption. Biological studies have been concerned with development...
Waste water lagoons have been used as a satisfactory means of
treating domestic and certain industrial wastes in many parts of the
country. Many of the parameters that govern the applicability of this
type of treatment process are climatic in nature, and critical evaluation
of local climatic conditions, as well...
The lower Willamette River, located between river mile 4.0
and 26.5, is the most seriously polluted section of the Willamette
River Basin.
Low dissolved oxygen concentrations of 2.0 to 3.0 mg/1 are
observed annually in this section of the river due to the pollutional
loads discharged into it. Waste discharges...
Aerial photography provides a method of analyzing dispersion
of wastes that are discharged into the ocean. This method is more
comprehensive than conventional boat sampling in dispersion studies.
The photographic technique permits waste concentrations to be
measured throughout the plume in one instant; thereby allowing the
diffusion analysis to be...
