Criteria For Recreation Site Selection On Flood Control Reservoirs-Case Studies, Kenneth B. Mclaughlin
Criteria For Recreation Site Selection On Flood Control Reservoirs-Case Studies, Kenneth B. Mclaughlin
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Stephen F. Austin State University was awarded a contract in August 1971 to select the 1,200 acres best suited for recreation area development on three proposed flood control reservoirs. At that time, there was no central publication which could be used as a guide for such a project. This thesis was written to help correct this situation. The nine factors that were used in initial site selection are soils, topography, access, wind, vegetation, land ownership, distribution of the sites, bridges and open-water and cove locations. Once the sites were selected, they were evaluated and assigned priorities for development according to …

Evaluation Of Bi-Level Drainage Theory With A Viscous-Flow Analog, James Marfred Kienholz
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The basic objective in the design of subsurface drainage systems is to determine the most economical placement of drain lines which will enable control of the water t able so that optimum crop growth is permitted. One way this goal can be achieved is to place drain lines at a depth and spacing that will not allow the water table to rise above a given elevation during the growing season . For example, the Bureau of Reclamation, in establishing design criteria for the proposed Oahe Unit irrigation project in central and northeastern South Dakota, stated that the water table should …
Seasonal Movements And Habitat Selection Of Pheasant Cocks In South Dakota, Robert A. Fedeler
Seasonal Movements And Habitat Selection Of Pheasant Cocks In South Dakota, Robert A. Fedeler
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Data were gathered on seasonal movements and habitat selection of 30 pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) cocks that were radio-equipped in eastern South Dakota from 1970 to 1972. Pheasant cocks stayed in an area of less than 100 acres from spring through hunting season. In winter, cocks used even smaller areas more intensively. Cocks moved about their home range by shifting their activity center rather than by adjustment in range of daily travel. Adult cocks seemed to have strong site attachments on a year-round basis. Immature cocks were more mobile, especially during the fall prior to hunting season. In spring, adult cocks …
Groundwater Quality Variation In The Vicinity Of Dying Terraces Designed To Dispose Of Runoff From A Cattle Feedlot, Thomas Burton Andersen
Groundwater Quality Variation In The Vicinity Of Dying Terraces Designed To Dispose Of Runoff From A Cattle Feedlot, Thomas Burton Andersen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Much attention has been focused on protecting surface bodies of water from human and animal sources of pollution. In states similar to South Dakota, animal pollutants, may be potentially a much greater hazard to surface waters than are human sources of pollutants. For the preceding reason much consideration has been directed towards methods to control pollution from animal sources. The cattle feedlot is considered by some as one of the largest reservoirs for contaminants able to reach surface bodies of waters. A feedlot can be generally described as an enclosed area where cattle are concentrated for the purpose of preslaughter …
The Effects Of Livestock Waste On Some Soil Strength Characteristics And Selected Tillage Operations, Rodney Joseph Devine
The Effects Of Livestock Waste On Some Soil Strength Characteristics And Selected Tillage Operations, Rodney Joseph Devine
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Livestock waste is becoming a problem in the area of pollution. About 2 billion tons of animal waste are produced each year in this country. Many farmyards and feedlots have allowed the waste to be washed into nearby streams, polluting them. Large commercial livestock feeding operations have such a large amount of waste causing pollution that steps have been taken by the government to keep large scale feedlots from becoming pollution hazards. Many of these methods of use and disposal are in the development stage. However, livestock wastes cannot be allowed to accumulate while new methods are being developed. The …
Graphical Comparison Of Theoretical And Actual Settlement For Axially Loaded Piles, William Howard Hagedorn
Graphical Comparison Of Theoretical And Actual Settlement For Axially Loaded Piles, William Howard Hagedorn
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A primary purpose of this paper is to determine an adequate approach to the problem of axial load-settlement relationship. This paper will show that without the aid of a computer a load-settlement curve can be closely approximated. Graphical interpretation of settlement versus load has been very limited with an increased use of the computer. The degree of accuracy depends upon the individual using this method and can be compared to an algebraic or a computer solution of load-settlement. In the past, pile design was always a problem of complex equations along with many unknown variables. A solution at that time …

Ridge Vent Influence On Airflow Characteristics In A Model Open Front Beef Confinement Building, Donald P. Froehlich
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Continued and increased use of confinement methods for fattening beef cattle in South Dakota _are inevitable for many· reasons: surface runoff from feedlots is practically eliminated, the cost and labor required for bedding are decreased, problems with adverse surface conditions and manure accumulation are reduced, diseases are usually decreased, and national and worldwide demands for red meat are augmenting. When animal densities are increased maximum utilization can be made of the labor saving devices obtainable with increased capitalization. However, as animal densities increase environmental maintenance within a confinement structure becomes an increasingly important design consideration. Therefore, accurate and pertinent information …

The Influence Of Mixing On The Performance Of An Aerated Lagoon Treating Municipal And Industrial Wastes, Gregory G. Huza
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
During the past decade aerated lagoons have become a popular means of economically treating industrial and municipal wastes. Adoption of the Water Quality Act in 1965, and public opposition to water pollution have forced municipalities and industrial establishments to provide adequate treatment for their waste discharges. Aerated lagoons, when used as preliminary treatment ahead of the stabilization pond system, can provide an adequate and economical means of waste treatment. The rural community of Volga, South Dakota selected an aerated lagoon system to expand its existing stabilizat1on pond treatment system. Volga, South Dakota lies in the east central portion of the …

The Influence Of Mixing On Bacterial Activity, Viability, And Settling Characteristics In An Aerated Lagoon Treating Municipal And Industrial Wastes, Arden E. Wallum
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In recent years industrial management has become increasingly aware of the advantages of processing agricultural products near the source of supply. The result has been the growth of industry in many smaller communities. This growth has increased the need for expanded waste treatment facilities. A frequently used method of expansion for many communities utilizing stabilization ponds has been the addition of a mechanically aerated lagoon located upstream from the existing ponds. Typical of this pattern, the South Dakota Department of Health recommended expansion of existing stabilization ponds at Volga. Aerated lagoons were selected to accomplish this objective. The existing stabilization …

Mixing Characteristics Of An Aerated Lagoon Treating Municipal And Industrial Wastes, William J. Heyer
Mixing Characteristics Of An Aerated Lagoon Treating Municipal And Industrial Wastes, William J. Heyer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The use of stabilization ponds as a means of providing wastewater treatment has been a common practice in many small midwestern communities. However, because of more stringent water quality standards and increased loadings on existing facilities, many communities have been forced to seek improved methods of wastewater treatment. One method of increasing the capacity of an existing stabilization pond is the addition of an aerated lagoon. In general, an aerated lagoon may be defined as a basin with a liquid depth of 6 to 15 feet in which oxygen is supplied to the liquid contents by mechanical or diffused aeration …
