A Study Of Water Institutions In Utah And Their Influence On The Planning, Developing, And Managing Of Water Resources, Frank W. Haws Jan 1973

A Study Of Water Institutions In Utah And Their Influence On The Planning, Developing, And Managing Of Water Resources, Frank W. Haws

Reports

Preface: For the purposes of this study an institution is defined as a formal framework or organization through which men pool their efforts and resources to accomplish specific purposes. Included in this framework is the pattern of organization and authority, the legal structure and the governmental rules and regulations that must be adhered to during the process of reaching the stated goals. The institutions related to water resources are many and varied and include: political governments (state, county, city, etc.); subdivisions of government created by legislative consent such as irrigation districts, special improvement districts, metropolitan water companies (a department in …

Planning Programming Budgeting Study Of The City Of Winter Park, Alfred T. Sawicki Jan 1973

Planning Programming Budgeting Study Of The City Of Winter Park, Alfred T. Sawicki

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The report examines the applicability of Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System to the City of Winter Park. After briefly describing the character of the city, the goals are identified, the means by which they may be achieved and measure of evaluating progress toward them are given. To show how such an effort might be implemented, specific programs, objectives and effectiveness criteria are provided. These are followed by three examples in which the existing system is described and from which problems are revealed. Next, a brief analysis is performed to pinpoint the difficulty and a solution is proposed. The examples are …


Removal Of Color From Surface Water In Central Florida, Joseph R. Wanielista Jan 1973

Removal Of Color From Surface Water In Central Florida, Joseph R. Wanielista

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The USPHS limits color in water to 15 color units. However, it is desirable to remove all the color. Color in surface water is mainly due to humic substances and was found in concentrations varying up to 450 color units. Removal of color by coagulation and flocculation has been practiced over the years. The mechanisms involved have not yet been fully understood. During the course of this investigation, a literature survey, studying the nature of color, mechanisms or color removal, and optimum color removal conditions, has been conducted. Samples have been obtained from surface waters in Central Florida; namely Big …


The State-Of-The-Art Of The Coagulation/ Flocculation Process, David William Bouck Jan 1973

The State-Of-The-Art Of The Coagulation/ Flocculation Process, David William Bouck

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report has been prepared with the idea of briefly summarizing the most important principles underlying the coagulations/flocculation process as it applies to water and wastewater treatment. The production of potable water from a supply which has been contaminated by naturally-occurring or man-made pollutants has been an object of concern throughout history. Several broad aspects have been considered in the report, such as the history, the nature and physical chemistry of colloidal particles, the theories of and the factors affecting coagulation/flocculation, and control of the coagulation/flocculation process. It is advisable for those persons engaged in the dynamic environmental sciences to …
