The Research Team <br /> <br />The research project was jointly planned and executed by staff <br /> <br />from Colorado State University and the University of California, <br /> <br />Davis. These two teams have met at several times every year to <br /> <br />closely coordinate efforts, The areas of expertise of the staff <br /> <br /> <br />include hydraulics and sediment transport, soil physics and chemistry, <br /> <br />mineralogy, water quality and geomorphology, <br /> <br />The Colorado State University team had primary responsibility <br /> <br />for data collection in addition to planning, site selection, data <br /> <br />analysis and the final report for this proposed project. The <br /> <br />University of California team has provided support for the chemical, <br /> <br />mineral and water quality analyses. They also provided field equip- <br /> <br />ment for on-site filtration of water samples and assistance in field <br /> <br />sampling. <br /> <br />1.5 Project Approach. <br /> <br />Following the processes of flow from hillslopes to streams, the <br /> <br />investigations were divided into the following steps: <br /> <br />A. Laboratory Investigations (Chaper 2) . <br /> <br />(1) Variation of dissolution rate of soluble minerals <br /> <br />with flow velocity; <br /> <br />(2) Variation of dissolution rate of soluble minerals with <br /> <br />intensity, duration and frequency of rainfall; and <br /> <br />(3) Effect of dilution, agitation and contact time between <br /> <br />water and soil on dissolution rate. <br />
