Abstract |
The purpose of this report is to define the need for and the value of storage for municipal and industrial water supply and for water quality control in the Tiller and Galesville projects, currently under study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The study area considered is the Umpqua River Basin, but particular attention has been given to the service areas and stream reaches of the South Umpqua, Cow Creek, and the main stem Umpqua that could be influenced by storage releases from the Tiller or Galesville sites. Projections of future waste loads, water quality, and water use have been developed for 1980, 2000, and 2020, based on the resource potential of Douglas County. (Author Modified Abstract) |
