The current activities (1975-76) of the Maryland Water Resources Research Center are summarized. The current status of the following projects is reported: Heavy metals and minerals in Chesapeake Bay sediments; toxicity of waste water treatment plant effluents to fishes; mathematical model for estimating water quality loadings; groundwater fluctuation under heavy irrigation with sewage effluents; treatment costs versus environmental damage in state water resources management; water quality changes in oyster processing; mutagenic potential of petroleum byproducts in Chesapeake Bay waters; detection of enteroviruses surviving standard sewage treatment; detection of bacterial pathogens surviving standard sewage treatment; biotoxicity of chlorine species to copepods; marsh ecosystem response to nutrients in agricultural runoff; characteristics of urban runoff, and the effects of a cooling tower on the environment.
