An Assessment of Planning for Water-Pollution Control in Sacramento, California. Appendix A. Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature, and Conductivity in the Lower Sacramento River and Adjacent Waters, August 16-September 7, 1975. Appendix B. Data Supplement: Methods and Analysis

摘要

This report contains an evaluation of the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Management Plan and its possible effects on nearby waters, an account of intensive survey of the Sacramento River, an analysis of the water-quality standards (WQS) for the lower Sacramento River Basin and the Sacramento-San Joacquin Delta, and an appraisal of the waste-discharge requirements for sewage treatment plants (STPs) in Greater Sacramento. Appendix A contains measurements from the river survey. Appendix B deals with relevant riverflow data and also describes the analytical methods. The conclusions of the study are that fears of fish poisonings, contaminated water supplies, and ugliness with or without the sewage treatment plant are questionable on the basis of the riverflow.
