| Abstract |
The investigation was undertaken to determine the potential need for and value of storage for regulation of streamflows for water quality control in the Rogue River Basin Project, Medford Division, Jackson County, Oregon. The scope of this study was limited to determination of water quality control requirements within the Bear Creek portion of the Medford Division. Study elements included projection of the population and industry growth, determination of sources, and effects of present and future waste loadings, an examination of the hydrology of the area, a determination of the assimilative capacity of the stream, a determination of stream uses and required quality objectives, a projection of adequate treatment levels and flow requirements necessary to protect stream uses, and consideration of alternative methods, costs, and values of meeting water quality requirements. |
