Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

    Fifteenth Annual Report Water Resources Research Center
    (Water Resources Research Center, University of Minnesota, 1979-10) Blake, George R.; Espointour, Elizabeth
    During fiscal year 1979 the Water Resources Research Center sponsored 12 research projects emphasizing quality of both surface and ground waters,public health aspects of groundwater pollution, irrigation, drainage, a trophic classification of lakes and social factors in resource development decisions. Twenty-four project-related reports were published by the Water Resources Research Center in 1979-80, including six bulletins. Each of two of the bulletins were sent to about 300 people. The other four were distributed by the Principal Investigator to about 250 people. In addition the Center answered about 500 requests for bulletins published in past years. The budget for the Water Resources Research Center was $320,922 derived from the University of Minnesota, the University of Minnesota Graduate School and the Office of Water Research and Technology of the U.S. Department of Interior. About 33 students were employed on water-related projects funded by the Center.

    Sixteenth Annual Report Water Resources Research Center
    (Water Resources Research Center, University of Minnesota, 1980-10) Blake, George R.; Espointour, Elizabeth
    During fiscal year 1980 the Water Resources Research Center sponsored ten projects funded through programs of the U.S. Department of Interior, Office of Water Research and Technology and two funded through grants from the Upper Mississippi River Basin Commission. These research projects dealt with the following topics: 1) Water conservation through reuse of agricultural drainage waters and through prediction of irrigation scheduling by use of climatic data; 2) Wetlands as related to county drainage ditches and to agricultural runoff;3) Water quality for towns in rural areas, methods for measuring aquatic organics, removal of heavy metals by zeolites, and propagation of hydrocarbon spills to shallow aquifers;4) Groundwater recharge rates as related to rainfall, predicting recharge rates in surficial aquifers; 5) Economics of water use for irrigation; 6) Flood prevention through hydrologic simulation of critical watersheds; and 7) Septage disposal on land by defining loading rates. Research sponsored by the Upper Mississippi River Basin Commission consisted of a Summary Resource Description of the Upper Mississippi River System and an Evaluation of the Impacts of Navigation and Associated Operation and Maintenance Procedures on Recreation, Cultural Resources and Potential Wilderness Areas of the River System. Two project-related bulletins were published by the Water Resources Research Center in 1979-1980. Bulletins are sent to a mailing list of about 300 people initially. The Center answers around 500 requests each year for copies of bulletins published both this year and past years. The Center also publishes and distributes four Newsletters each year. Through Water Research Centers projects, two professors, three research associates and about 28 students, mostly graduate students, were given part-time employment. A seminar series was sponsored on the University’s Twin City Campus. The Center’s budget was $395,736 derived from the University of Minnesota, the University Graduate School, the Office of Water Research and Technology of the U.S. Department of Interior and grants from the Upper Mississippi River Basin Commission.
