Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the self-purifying properties of rivers and the factors that influence the persistence of harmful bacteria in flowing water. The author presents a series of experiments and observations on the Illinois, Mississippi, and Missouri rivers, which provide insights into how pollution levels change as water travels downstream. The book also delves into the historical context of water pollution and the ongoing debate over the ability of rivers to cleanse themselves. The author argues that while rivers do possess some self-purifying capabilities, the extent of purification varies depending on factors such as the initial level of pollution, the volume of water flow, and the presence of tributaries. Overall, the book provides valuable insights into the complex processes involved in water pollution and helps to inform strategies for protecting water quality in rivers and other waterways.
