Abstract |
The report represents a preliminary examination of present and future municipal and industrial water supply and stream quality control needs in the Rickreall Creek area of the Willamette River Basin with particular reference to the feasibility of including provisions for satisfying these needs in the Bureau of Reclamation's proposed Monmouth-Dallas Project, Polk County, Oregon. The report identifies uses and sources of water in the project area and describes sources of waste, waste treatment practices and the effects of waste effluents and land drainage materials on the quality of specific reaches of Rickreall Creek. Included also is a preliminary economic evaluation of the area, the findings of which have formed the basis for estimating future municipal and industrial water supply needs and for approximating the effects of future wastes and land uses on stream quality. |
