Feasibility of a district cooling system using natural cold water

Description: The findings of investigations into the use of natural cold water district cooling systems are outlined. Concepts involving the use of natural cold water for cooling commercial and residential buildings have been examined and found to be economically sound and technically feasible. Studies indicate that naturally occurring cold water sources exist in proximity to certain municipal areas that have large cooling demands. Savings in energy resources, long term cost benefits, and environmental safe… more

Water Resources Research Program: Pollution of Coastal Waters Off Chicago by Sinking Plumes From the Indiana Harbor Canal

Description: On March 2, 1977, during sinking-plume conditions, a portion of the water of the Indiana Harbor Canal (IHC) was injected with samarium and rhodamine-dye tags and a section of the IHC's surface was covered with simulated oily waste tagged with dysprosium. Water samples were taken downcurrent, over a 54-hr period, from a vessel and from the raw-water streams from the intakes at Chicago's South Water Filtration Plant (SWFP). Bottom currents and water temperatures were measured almost continuously … more

/sup 137/Cs radioactive dating of Lake Ontario sediment cores

Description: The distribution of /sup 137/Cs in sediment cores from Lake Ontario provides estimates of the sediment accumulation rates. Geochronology with /sup 210/Pb dating and distribution of Ambrosia (ragweed) pollen compare well with /sup 137/Cs dating. These methods can determine with precision, changes in sedimentation occurring over the past 100 years or so. Typical sedimentation rates of 0.18-0.36 cm/yr were measured. 16 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs.
