OSTI ID:6737724

The major thrust of the Water Resources Research Institute during the 1987 program year involved activities related to its research and technology-transfer program. Surface and ground-water quality and watershed protection problems are the top priority issues in the state. Research projects funded by the Institute to address these problems and issues included: the problem of developing better technology to document the specific sources of nitrogen in surface water experiencing nuisance blue-green algal growth; the role of wetlands in removing nutrients from streams receiving wastewater discharges; the development and testing of a simulation model that can be used to analyze the performance of stormwater infiltration ponds in the coastal area; and the development and implementation of the Institute information materials, response to requests for information, development of conferences, workshops and seminars, publication of conference proceedings, and the review and publication of research reports.
