System Evolved =
To Clean Rivers

The reclamation of many rivers
and streams made barren OF fish
life by sewage or pulp mill pollu-
ton is foreseen through the, use
of a recreation" process devel-
oped BY Prof R. G. Tyler of the
University of Washington Sanitary
Engineering Laboratory.
The wastes discharged by pulp
mills and municipal sewers con-
tain materials which, when attack
ed by bacteria, remove oxygen
from the water. Frequently the oxy-
gen content of streams and bay
falls so low fish may suffocate.
Professor Tyler has developed
Equipment which restores the oxy-
gen content of the water by pump
ing compressed air through diffus-
ers located on the river bottom OF
bank. -
The process was tested on the
F1ambeau river in Wisconsin, and
it proved successful. The river had
become so contaminated by the
discharge Of pulp mill that fish
had entirely disappeared. After
installation Of the equipment, fish
were found upstream as far as the
reaerator. - ~
Reservation is definitely not a
cure-all, but I believe it will be
effective in combating pollution in
many areas" Professor Tyler said.
ut is suitable for tideWater sites
where navigation is not affected,
but It is designed for use on IN
land streams and rivers"
Financed partially by pulp mills
of the Pacific Northwest, the Uni
versity is continuing research on
river and bay pollution problems.
