| Abstract |
The report is an investigation of the Back River Estuary located in Maryland. The study objectives were: Determine in-situ sediment oxygen demand rates of the surficial bottom deposits; determine the general distribution and approximate depth of organic sludge deposits; compare the sediment oxygen demand of surficial to underlying sediments; determine existing nutrient concentrations of surficial and subsurface sediments; evaluate the Maryland Water Resource Authority engineering proposals for improving the water quality of the Back River Estuary. |
