The problems growing out of conflicting state rights in interstate streams are not new. In one form or another they have been appearing in our eastern states for one hundred and forty years. The emphasis has changed from questions of jurisdiction and police to fisheries and navigation, including log running andrafting, to water power and water supply for canals, and more recently, to municipal water supply and its twin problem, the disposal of sewage and industrial wastes, with water power again assuming importance. In the arid regions of the West, these problems arose later and have developed much more rapidly, and from the first the emphasis has been on irrigation. This paper will be limited to those phases of the problem connected with municipal water supplies, incidental reference only being made to such of the other phases as are inextricably bound up with the development of municipal water supplies from the watersheds of interstate streams.As indicating the nature of the problems arising in the development, for municipal water supplies, of the watersheds of interstate streams, some of the larger projects in four of the Atlantic states,
The Sagarmatha National Park (SNP) in Nepal is home to unique natural beauty and cultural significance. While the SNP has a relatively small local population, it has drawn thousands of visitors since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the peak of Mt Everest in 1953. Importantly, the tourists and their concurrently generated refuse have caused massive anthropogenic pressure with serious environmental consequences for the unique SNP and SNP Buffer Zone ecosystems. This study aimed to understand the spatial variation of nutrient concentrations in stream water and drinking water (primarily shallow springs) using analyses of nitrogen as NH
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
