Contents Notes
Laboratory bioassay experiments were performed to test the effect on algal growth of agricultural waste water before and after the waste water had been subjected to two different nitrogen removal processes. The waste waters were added in various percentages to San Joaquin River Delta water for bioassay. The algal growth throughout time was monitored by chlorophyll fluorescence techniques. The fluorescence measurements showed logarithmic growth similar to the type usually observed in the Delta Water over the vernal growth period. The laboratory experiments gave positive statistical evidence that the untreated agricultural waste water would promote substantial algal growth above that of the San Joaquin River controls.
