INVENTORY OF RESEARCH IN WATER POLLUTION AND RELATED FIELDS COLUMBIA BASIN AND PACIFIC COAST STATES 1962 Compiled by Edward F. Eldn'dge Research and Technical Consultation Project U. S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELFARE Public Health Service Region IX Portland, Oregon February 1963 ------- OOOR62101 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. ------- RESEARCH PROJECT INVENTORY Index No. ARIZONA UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, TUCSON SOIL AND WATER TESTING. H. V. Smith, G. E. Draper and H. Corrie. Agricultural Experiment Station. A study of the quality of domestic and irrigation waters. Supported in 1962 by State funds, $12,675. The manuscript, "The Quality of Arizona's Domestic Waters," is being printed for publication. 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.
