Abstract |
The report reviews the pollution of the interstate waters of the Snake River in the vicinity of Lewiston, Idaho, and Clarkston, Washington. Emphasis is placed on the causes of water pollution and on the resulting interference with legitimate water uses. The purpose of that survey was to develop information to advise the Corps of Engineers on water quality changes that can be expected when impoundments constructed downstream produce a ponded condition in the Lewiston-Clarkston area. The two-fold objectives of the survey were to determine present water quality conditions and to evaluate the effect of impoundments on future water quality. |
