Stabilization Pond Site Evaluation, Terrence Owen Hausken Jan 1968

Stabilization Pond Site Evaluation, Terrence Owen Hausken

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

With the increasing number of stabilization ponds, it becomes desirable that they be located where they will least affect the present and future uses of water, cause the least amount of nuisances, and be economical with respect to location and construction. These desirable characteristics cannot always be fulfilled and thus a compromise must be made when choosing the site of the pond. At present there is no conventional method for evaluating various site characteristics and construction practices of areas or sites where wastes are released to the ground. Studies have been conducted on various phases or areas relating to stabilization …

An Investigation Of The Employment Of Multiple Objectives In Water Resources Planning, Robert Rehm Werner Jan 1968

An Investigation Of The Employment Of Multiple Objectives In Water Resources Planning, Robert Rehm Werner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A number of objectives in water resources development have been identified historically, but planning practice has adhered most closely to economic efficiency. A question of growing concern is whether or not the conscious inclusion of multiple objectives simultaneously in water resources planning can result in the formulation of plans closer to an optimum in the satisfaction of peoples’ total desires than does a plan which optimizes the objective of economic efficiency or other single objective. The purpose of this study was to determine if the explicit employment of multiple objectives in water resources planning represents a strengthening of capability to …

Livestock data indicate that a large proportion of the cattle produced in South Dakota is shipped out of the state for fattening and slaughter.

An Analysis Of Stephen Leacock's Treatment Of The Detective Story, Beverly Lamb

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
