| Abstract | The legal, economic, and technical aspects of low-flow regulation for pollution abatement were investigated. The legal phase included a study of public water resources policy, both federal and state, as it affects flow augmentation. Economic evaluation of low-flow augmentation was significant since it requires consideration of alternative methods of pollution abatement. In the technical phase of the study, two new oxygen-sag formulas were derived. A pair of new formulas for analyzing BOD data were derived and applied to stream observations. |
