    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.
