    • 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 ...

    • The Hydrology of Fractured Rocks: A Literature Review 

      Brown, David M.; Gelhar, Lynn W. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1985-12)
      Recent literature on the quantitative description of flow in fractured rocks is reviewed with emphasis on modeling approaches and their conceptual framework. The relationships of modeling results to laboratory and field ...
