    • Large-scale Dispersive Transport in Aquifers: Field Experiments and Reactive Transport Theory 

      Garabedian, Stephen P.; Gelhar, Lynn W.; Celia, Michael A. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988-01)
      A large-scale natural-gradient tracer test was conducted to examine the transport of reactive and nonreactive tracers in a sand and gravel aquifer on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The movement and spreading of bromide, a ...

    • Copper Sulfate Treatment of Lakes and Reservoirs: Chemical and Biological Considerations 

      McKnight, Diane M.; Chisholm, Sallie W.; Morel, Francois M. M. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Division of Water Resources & Hydrodynamics, Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, 1981)
      Since 1905, copper sulfate has been widely used as a means of controlling nuisance algae in drinking water reservoirs. Reservoir managers, relying on experience, have developed procedures which are generally successful in ...

    • An Interspecific Comparison of Trace Metal Toxicity to Marine Phytoplankton 

      Hughes, David J. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Division of Water Resources & Hydrodynamics, Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, 1981-12)
      Introduction: Over the past few years, the emphasis placed on quantifying the metal speciation in culture media has clarified considerably our understanding of trace metal effects on phytoplankton. For example, it is now ...
