INVENTORY OF RESEARCH
IN
WATER POLLUTION AND RELATED FIELDS
COLUMBIA BASIN AND PACIFIC COAST STATES
1962
PREFACE
This is the fifth annual inventory of research on water
pollution and related subjects prepared and distributed
by the Portland, Oregon office of the Division of Water
Supply and Pollution Control, U. S. Public Health Service.
Initially, these inventories covered only those projects
underway in the Pacific Northwest. The area covered was
expanded in 1961 to include the states of Alaska, Arizona,
California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington
and the western portion of British Columbia. The 1962 in-
ventory covers this same area.
Many of the projects listed in 1961 were not completed in
that year and, consequently, are again contained in this
inventory with any change in status indicated. A consid-
erable number of new projects are also listed.
Material for these inventories has been supplied by the
various individuals and organizations conducting the stud-
ies. Every effort has been exerted to make the informa-
tion contained herein as accurate as possible. If signi-
ficant errors have been made, they will be corrected, if
they are called to the attention of the compiler.

SURVIVAL OF PATHOGENS IN SEWAGE STABILIZATION PONDS.
Quentin Mees and Jack R. Hensley. Reuse of water
is of paramount importance in areas where water
supply is a problem. Whether reuse takes the form
of irrigation, recharge, or industrial use, health
protection becomes a factor of prime importance.
Reuse of the effluent from stabilization ponds
employed for treating raw sewage in agricultural
areas is becoming widespread. Since frequency of
virus isolations, concentrations of various para-
sitic organisms, as well as concentrations of
certain pathogenic bacteria have varied with dif-
ferent types of treatment, it becomes increasingly
significant that a study of the survival of these
organisms in the stabilization pond effluent be
conducted. Location - Arizona. Funds from Na-
tional Institutes of Health. $15,083. Project

92 EXPLORATORY STUDY ON MANGANESE AND IRON SOLUBILITY
IN SUBSOILS, Luther B. Grass. A comparative study
of reducing agents reveals presence of large
reserve of easily reducible iron and manganese
in two Imperial Valley soils. When subjected to
leaching under reducing conditions, 1.53 1bs. of
iron and 2.61 1bs. of manganese were removed per
acre-foot of leachate. Evidence suggests that
organic matter and biological activity may stim-
ulate the rate of the reaction which affects the
solubility. The problem is increasing in Imperial
and Coachella Valleys, with clogging of tile drains
constituting a serious expense in irrigation.

includes studies on the uptake, distribution,
retention of internal emitters by fish from water
and food. Also, the ability of fish with non-
lethal body burden of certain internal emitters
to tolerate various environmental stress are under
study. Supported by the Atomic Energy Commission,
$100,000. Continued in 1962.
