The West Virginia State Water Research Institute Program for 1983 was planned, designed, and done in close collaboration and cooperation with state and federal water agencies. The prime objective was to generate usable research results and information for users. The major specific objective was to obtain new knowledge for use in establishing a rational water-quality standard for iron in streams. Another specific objective was to transfer information on research results related to acid mine drainage to those concerned with establishing iron standards. The 1983 Program comprised two research projects and one technology-information transfer project. The larger research project was customed designed to yield information useful in establishing iron standards, and results indicate that the old arbitrary standard of 1 mg/l was unrealistic, and that rational standards specifically designed for individual streams are possible.
