Abstract |
The present investigation has been confined largely to the question of pollution abatement, leaving to the U. S. Engineer Office any benefits to West Fork River water supplies, both municipal and industrial, resulting from increased flow in West Fork River. However, benefits to public and industrial water supplies in the Monongahela River due to improved quality resulting from the increased flow, have been included in the present investigation. Studies of the West Fork River Basin were conducted in 1940 at the time of the Ohio River Pollution Survey, and the report on this work is available in House Document 266, 78th Congress, 1st Session, page 355, Monongahela River Basin.
