A plume rise model is derived from the equations of turbulent motion, retaining the turbulent flux terms. The solutions are similar to those proposed earlier by Csanady but containing an exponential decay term. The model finds particular value in predicting a leveled-of£ plume trajectory in...

Three aspects of aquatic habitat assessment and mapping have been considered. The first aspect was the review of the parameters which characterize aquatic habitats in the AOSERP study area. From an extensive list, ten parameters for each of lake habitats and river habitats were selected as being...

In this study, the ability of microorganisms to degrade selected organic substrates in samples of Athabasca River water and water-sediment has been determined. Analysis of laboratory-incubated samples using gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry has shown that trace amounts (100 µg/L) of m-cresol...
