WESTWATER LECTURES-1976

CONTROLLING POLLUTION IN THE LOWER FRASER RIVER

 

In the spring of 1972 the Westwater Research Centre initiated a programme of
research on pollution of the Lower Fraser River. This research has examined
the physical, chemical and biological condition of the river, the sources

of pollution, the technology and policies for controlling pollution and

the legal and administrative structure for deciding upon and taking action.

This programme is virtually completed and the lectures listed below will be
an oral report on the findings and conclusions of this set of studies. These

ted with slides.
