| Abstract | The report presents data which indicate that pipe and pump systems can alter the dissolved oxygen concentration, percent saturation and temperature of a water sample as it is pumped from a river to a distant sampling site. These data were obtained at the Little Miami River Field Test Station during the period July 27 to September 21, 1962. A jet and a submersible pump were delivering water through 400 feet of plastic pipe against a lift of 44 feet. (Author Modified Abstract) |
