Seminar on water quality in the tidal Potomac River

In the interest of maintaining communication between researchers and managers concerned with the tidal Potomac River, the U.S. Geological Survey sponsored a Seminar on the Water Quality of the Tidal Potomac River. The Seminar was held on December 6 and 7, 1978, at the U.S. Geological Survey National Headquarters in Reston, Virginia. The Seminar was attended by 135 individuals representing 27 organizations.

This volume contains an agenda of the Seminar program and abstracts of most of the papers presented. These abstracts constitute in themselves an invaluable body of knowledge and outline the state-of-the-art in water quality research and management in the tidal Potomac River as of December, 1978.
