In south central New York State the issue of more dams on the Susquehanna River has caused bitter conflict between water resource planners and local citizens. (EB)

Most of the shoreline of New Jersey is found along the state's many bays and lagoons. The estuary resources provide recreation areas and fish, bird and animal habitats. The geographic and ecological characteristics of the shoreline are described with sources of educational information about bays. (CM)

Annotates two books dealing with astronomy and one each dealing with automation, genetic engineering, space, and water. (AEA)

The statement is sometimes made in textbooks that liquid hydrogen peroxide is more strongly associated than water, evidenced by its higher boiling point and greater heat of vaporization. Discusses these and an additional factor (the nearly double molecular mass of the peroxide), focusing on hydrogen bonds and structure of the molecule. (JN)

Presents an undergraduate laboratory experiment in which a solar collector is used to heat water for domestic use. The working fluid is moved by natural convection so no pumps are required. Experimental apparatus is simple in design and operation so that data can be collected quickly and easily. (Author/JN)

Presents science activities to help elementary children learn about water resources and home water conservation. A reproducible worksheet is included. (SJL)

Crushed glass and a Rhodamine B solution are used in a one-dimensional optically scanned column experiment to study the dispersion phenomenon in porous media. Results indicate that the described model gave satisfactory results and that the dispersion process in this experiment is basically convective. (DC)

Presents questions and answers about the fluoridation of water regarding the compounds added to drinking water in the fluoridation process, how raw water is tested for fluoride content, and how fluoride reacts with tooth enamel. (CS)

Presented are methods to help teachers continue the environmental awareness programs they have already started by providing up-to-date information and activities dealing with air pollution, water pollution, and solid waste disposal. (Author/KC)

Alarmed by the growing water shortage, the New Jersey State Office of Dissemination has prepared this annotated list of free or inexpensive instructional materials for teaching about water conservation, K-l2. A tipsheet for home water conservation is appended. (Editor/SJL)

The National Park Service seeks to set the standard for environmental protection in the federally-owned lands which it administers. Often pollution from sources outside park boundaries creates adverse impacts within the parks. Innovative approaches and cooperative efforts are then required to protect the parks. (RE)

Civilization is more and more intruding on the esthetic and recreational resources of the National Park System. Increased attention must be paid to controlling noise, pollution, and even the effects of urban lighting which detract from the enjoyment of the parks. (RE)

A discussion of savings of water and hot water heating fuel and an appropriate means of choosing the right products. (Author/MLF)

Examines physical conditions that were major considerations in the selection of Port Valdez, Alaska, as the site for the marine terminal for the trans-Alaska pipeline. Topics discussed include rejected sites, advantages of Port Valdez, description and operation of Valdez terminal, and marine tanker access. (Author/DB)

Presented is the latest information on the technology of physical, chemical, and biological processing of grease and oil from industrial wastewater. (CS)
