<br />Links agriculture erosion, land use,
<br />and siltDtion problems to similar prob-
<br />lems in urbanising areas. Several
<br />major differences between agricultural
<br />conservation work and work in areas of
<br />rapidly changing land use are given.
<br />Much of the paper deals with the trou-
<br />blesome non-farm erosion problems on
<br />cuts and fills. Recommendations are
<br />provided or. the type of vegetative
<br />growth needed, seed-bed ?ceparation,
<br />mineral additives, mulching and mulch
<br />anchoring.

<br />The radar and raing~uge records of
<br />summer storms occurring over the city
<br />of Ottawa between 1969 and 1972 were
<br />used to study events which lead to the
<br />flooding of house basements. It was
<br />found th3t these tended to occur as a
<br />result of slow moving storms una on one
<br />occasion due to a storm elongated in
<br />its direction of travel. These fea-
<br />tures of storm dynamics appeared to be
<br />more important than either the intensi-
<br />ty of the storm (maximum instantan~ous
<br />rainfall rat~) or th'"::! total <lccumula-
<br />tion. A brief discussion or the match
<br />between the scale of resolution of the
<br />radar and the watershed scale size in
<br />urban areas is included.

<br />The twenty-one invited papers are pre-
<br />sented. The theme of the symposium was
<br />an examination of the extent to which
<br />useful predictions can be made in a
<br />range of situations, with emphasis on
<br />the complexities of the real wocld.
<br />~opics covered include physical
<br />processes in surface hydrology, catch-
<br />ment models (including application to
<br />urban areas), water ou~lity models,
<br />input and output series, data needs,
<br />and trends in catchment mOdeling.

<br />Developing society imposes heavy de-
<br />mands on the amount and quality of
<br />water used in urban areas. Th~ imoor-
<br />tant aspects of th~ problpm arp. water
<br />supply for domestic and industriul pur-
<br />pOses, replenishment of w3ter re-
<br />sources, irrigation, recreation, pollu-

<br />Attempts were made to develop storm
<br />water pollution prediction models ap-
<br />plicable in different regions of th~
<br />country and criteria for urban storm
<br />water pollution control strut~9ies.
<br />Existing prediction mooels were ~valu-
<br />ated and additional ones developed.
<br />Appropriate urbnn runoff ?ollutional
<br />models were valid~ted by application to
<br />four demonstration cities. Refinements
<br />that could bro~jen the scone of usp of
<br />the storm water predicti~n models ar~
<br />indicated, and an evaluation is made of
<br />various structural and non-structural
<br />control methods for both undeveloped
<br />and develop~d drainage basins. Costs
<br />and general effectiveness of thes~ pro-
<br />cedures are pres~nted. Guidelin~s for
<br />use of the procedures, as well as gu-
<br />idelines for th~ selection of an opti-
<br />mal control plan, ar~ discussed. Two
<br />salient conclusions of th~ study ar~:
<br />(1) storm water pollution pre1iction
<br />models applicable in a wide variety of
<br />areas cannot be developed until addi-
<br />tional data on the hydrological, ore-
<br />cipitation, and runoff auality charac-
<br />teristics of r~oresentative metroooli-
<br />tan areas become- available; and, - (2)
<br />control strategies can be chOsen only
<br />after the specifics of the area are de-
<br />fined in terms of the sewer hydraulics,
<br />topography, g~oloqy, land use patterns,
<br />availability of construction sites,
<br />land costs, rainfall and runoff charac-
<br />teristics, location of drainage out-
<br />lets, and water qu~lity standards for
<br />the receivinq waters.
