Comparison of discharges from combined
and separate sewer systems in two Mi-
chigan cities showed that total coli-
form concentrations in runoff carried
by separate storm systems are about one
tenth of those in combined sewers.
Faecal colifor~ densities in combined
systems are ahout 21 percent of total
coliform densities, but are usually a
lesser percentng~ in separate systems.
FD~cal streptococcus densiti~s in com-
bined systems ~re only about twice
those in separate systems. Ratios of
faecal coliform to faecal streptococci
for the systems indicate that faecal
coliform in separate sewer discharges
arc primarily of non-human origin, and
those in combined sewer discharges are
of human origin.

Phosphorus dynamics in a small river
system have been measured to determine
phosphorus transport mechanisms and
correlation with hydrodynamic phenome-
na. Variation of chemical forms with
flow conditions are related to point
and diffuse sources and general equa-
tions derived. Mass balances are de-
veloped and diurnal changes are des-
cr ibed.

This monograph concludes a two-part
study of the water resources of the Ne~
YOrk-New Jersey Metropolitan Region,
the first of which was published under
the title, 'Benefits from integrated
water management in urban areas - the
case of the New York ~etropolitan Re-
gion' by the Clearinghouse, U.S.
Department of Commerce, Document pg-184
019, April, 1969. In the present study
the authors present a picture of the
state of the river, estuarial and
ground waters in the ~ew York-New Jer-
sey Metropolitan Region, gleaned from
an exhaustive analysis of existing
data, and devise a model by which the
impact of certain policy alternatives
upon river systems with respect to
waste treatment strategy may be gauged.
Chapter I describes the regional data
bank which has been amassed in great
detail. Chapters II, III, and IV ore-
sent detailed technical analyses' of
riverine, estuarial and ground water
data relating to water quality and the
impact of pollutants. Chapter V re-
views the substance of the three techn-
ical chapters. Chapter VI addresses
the problem of formulating the effect
of urban development upon the pollution
load introduced into rivers. It is
concerned with devising methods suit-
able for computer application to make
such estimates. Chapter VII describes
the mathematical model by which the im-
pact of the effluents simulated as a
result of the processes devised in
Chapter VI are translated into varia-
tions in the dissolved oxygen quality
of the stream. Chapter VIII presents
the findings arising from the applica-
tion of the model.
