| Abstract |
Results are presented of a 2-year study to determine to what extent a stream, lake, or estuary will receive and digest the effluents from sewage purification plants. Emphasis is on the biological aspects. Data indicates that slowly moving water is able to digest and highly purify effluents in large volume with the first three-fourths of a mile. The process of digestion is almost wholly biological and is extremely sensitive to conditions such as temperature, rainfall, and the amount and character of plant and animal life. |
