Interactions between light and carbon dioxide availabilities as a control of algal species succession
(1974)In attempting to gain knowledge of or insight into the requirements of algal production and the rate of algal production investigators turned to both field studies of natural water and laboratory studies. From these studies ... -
Characterization and dewaterability of water treatment plant residues
(1974)A variety of water treatment residues were characterized in order to determine the influence of specific chemical constituents, process flow schemes and raw water quality on the performance of sludge dewatering processes. ... -
Information dissemination in the water resources field
(1976)A study of mercury accumulation in trout taken from the trout parks and streams of southern Missouri is presented. Mercury in trout is determined by digestion in nitric acid, sulfurid acid, and potassium permanganate, ... -
Integrating the effects of the Great Flood of 1993: changes in groundwater hydrology and quality in relation to changes in surface waters
(1994)The Great Flood of 1993 had far-reaching impacts upon surface waters in the State of Missouri. Many stations along the Missouri River were above flood stage for months during the summer of 1993. Researchers conducted ... -
Analysis of social, fiscal, and structural factors affecting integrated pest management programs in Missouri and implications for future programs to protect water quality
(1996)Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has experienced a resurgence of interest due in part to continuing reports of drinking water contamination by agricultural pesticides. In response to the decertification of certain pesticides ... -
Costs and benefits of wetland restoration of hydric cropland in Missouri: a preliminary assessment
(1991)This report presents a preliminary analysis of the benefits and costs of restoring hydric cropland sites to wetlands in Missouri. Potential social and private (landowner) benefits and costs were estimated for 25 sites in ... -
Heavy metal concentrations in drainage sediments possibly affected by landfill leachate
(1996)Leachate was observed outside the confines of the Stone County Landfill, Missouri. Ants Creek and South Ants Creek located in the vicinity of the landfill may have received leachate. Both streams drain into Table Rock Lake. ... -
Water chemistry and algae biomass in Missouri reservoirs during summer 1991
(1991)Beginning in 1989 the University of Missouri undertook a study of trophic state in reservoirs located throughout the state. This project was funded by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in 1989-1990 and by the ... -
Effect of subsurface structure and bypass water flow on copper and zinc movement
(1994)The potential movement of heavy metals beyond the soil application zone is a cause for public concern. Structural features of the argillic horizon in soils such as the Tuskeego (fine mesic montomorillonitic, mesic Mollie ... -
Role of runoff and interflow in chemical transport for claypan soils
(1996)No-tillage systems have been found to increase water runoff for some soils. This is a major concern because this increased runoff has the potential for increasing the runoff of dissolved herbicides in the spring since these ... -
Enhancement of nitrification in submerged flow constructed wetlands
(1992)Four laboratory-scale, submerged flow constructed wetland (SFCW) mesocosms (Juncus effesus) were used to evaluate methods of increasing oxygenation within the wetlands to enhance nitrogen removal from applied wastewaters. ... -
Effect of phytase on phytate P utilization by turkeys
(1992)An in vitro method was developed for poultry to predict inorganic phosphorus release from maize-soya bean feeds containing supplemental phytase (E.C. 3.1.3.8), and to quantify the effect of acid phosphatase (E.C. 3.1,3.2.), ... -
Development of new methodology for the assessment of water treatment plant performance with respect to the removal of cyst-sized particles
"This is the fourth in a four-part series of year-long studies conducted at the Capital City Water Treatment Plant, Jefferson City, Missouri, over the period of 1985 to 1989, to evaluate the effect of temperature on water ... -
Degrading sludge with cellulase complex
(1989)The ability of indigenous and commercial cellulase complexes to degrade native and pretreated sludge was evaluated. Indigenous enzyme was produced in our laboratory, where as commercial cellulase was purchased from a ... -
Nitrate removal by denitrification using 'captor' media
(1991)In many areas throughout the U.S. groundwater supplies are contaminated by nitrates in excess of the standard of 10 mg/L (as N)mandated by the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 and its subsequent amendments. The nitrate ... -
Managing land application rates of to optimize economic value and water quality
Annual broiler processing capacity in southwestern Missouri is expected to increase from 127 million birds in 1989 to 245 million birds in 1995, or 93 percent. Much of this growth is expected to occur in Barry county where ... -
Evaluation of a small municipal constructed wetland wastewater treatment system
(1991)Modifications were made to an existing wastewater wetland treatment system to improve its effluent quality. Modifications included installation of baffles in the pond and the planting of selected plant materials. Removal ... -
Field evaluation of termiticide movement - phase II
(1989)In recent years, chlordane has been found in fish in Missouri at high levels. The Missouri Department of Health has issued advisories against fish consumption in a number of lakes and rivers because of chlordane contamination, ... -
Field evaluation and model calibration for agricultural pesticide transport to groundwater - phase II
(1989)Certain soil physical and chemical property data are needed to predict transport of agricultural chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, etc.) to groundwater. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the soil variability ... -
Chlordane movement during rainfall
(1988)Indoor rainfall simulation experiments were conducted to quantify the mass of technical chlordane leaving an experimental soil box in runoff, splash and leachate. The initial mass of technical chlordane was uniformly ...
