  • Effect of Non-Point Source Runoff and Urban Sewage on Yaque Del Norte River in Dominican Republic
    Effect of non-point source runoff and urban sewage on Yaque del Norte River in Dominican Republic Peter Phillips* Department of Biology, Winthrop University, Rock Hill, South Carolina 29733, USA Fax: 803 323 3448 E-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author F. Arturo Russell Pontificia Universidad Catolica Madre y Maestra, Santiago de los Caballeros, Republica Dominicana Fax: 809 582 2947 E-mail: [email protected] John Turner Department of Biology, Winthrop University, Rock Hill, South Carolina 29733, USA Fax: 803 323 3448 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: A Yaque del Norte, Dominican Republic watershed survey monitored dissolved oxygen, eutrophication from point and non-point sources, and high conductivity resulting from agricultural runoff. The upper mainly forested watershed had good water quality except for untreated sewage from the city of Jarabacoa. The mid-watershed had a deforested landscape, mixed agriculture and the city of Santiago contributing nitrogen and phosphorus. The lower watershed had extensively-irrigated agriculture resulting in appreciably higher conductivity, as well as high nitrogen and phosphorus. Sedirnentation from erosion is evident throughout the watershed. Managing the river's land and water resources for al1 stakeholders is critical. Keywords: surface water quality; nitrogen; phosphom; dissolved oxygen; turbidity; non-point source runoff; point sources; imgation; Yaque del Norte River; Dominican Republic.

    SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Bulletin 156 ABORIGINAL INDIAN POTTERY OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC BY HERBERT W. KRIEGER Curator of Ethnology, United States National Museum UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1931 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price, 75 cents ADVERTISEMENT The scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletins. The Proceedings^ begun in 1878, are intended primarily as a me- dium for the publication of original papers, based on the collections of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organiza- tions and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. The Bulletins^ the first of which was issued in 1875, consist of a series of separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general sj^stematic treatises (occasion- ally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, cata- logues of type-specimens, special collections, and other material of a similar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. In the Bulletin series appear volumes under the heading Gontrihutions from the United States National Hei'haHum^ in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.
