Richard A. Roline,James J. Sartoris-1984-01-01-Digital Scholarship - UNLV (University of Nevada Reno)

TL;DRAbstract

The purpose of the Las Vegas Wash Advanced Water Quality Study is to determine the existence, extent, and mechanisms of nutrient and toxin stripping in Las Vegas Wash under present conditions and under future conditions, both with and without construction of the proposed salinity control unit as described by the Bureau of Reclamation (USBR, 1982b). This study was performed for the Lower Colorado Region Division of Planning by personnel of the Environmental Sciences Section of the Division of Research and Laboratory Services, E&R Center, Denver, Colorado. Work on the study began in February 1983.\nThe general approach adopted for this study consisted of three parts:\n1. Four regular field samplings (in February, June, July, and August 1983) and one storm event sampling (in March 1983) to assess present water quality conditions in the wash. Additional water samples were collected in September to identify changes, if any, in water quality following a major storm event.\n2. A thorough
