Description:
Thirteen towns and cities in Ohio, situated on streams and rivers having different mean daily flow rates, were investigated during the summer and spring of 1977 to determine their suitability as sites for more extensive field studies on the impacts of urban runoff on dissolved oxygen (D. O.) levels in the streams. The towns included Akron, Bucyrus, Delphos, Findlay, Lancaster, Lima, Newark, Norwalk, Tiffin, Upper Sandusky, Wapakoneta, Washington Court House and Wooster. Among factors considered in the selection process were a demonstrable impact of the urban runoff on D. O. levels, accessibility to stream sampling locations, and the availability of stream and precipitation gages.
