Ter River

It might be derived from previous suggestions that the river sections below dams can experience even higher stress than those upstream. In the case of the Ter River (NE Spain) during the unusually dry 2007-2008 period, differences were not high...

Fig. 2 Time-series of annual mean water temperature in the San Reservoir (Spain) and air temperature in the Ter River watershed. The series start in 1964, after the first filling of the reservoir. Annual means are based on monthly measures of the volume weighted mean temperature. Only years with at least 10 temperature profiles were included in the figure. The air temperatures are annual means for the whole Ter River watershed, calculated from data collected in several meteorological stations in the basin, and weighted according to their area of influence...

Fig. 10 Temperature, dissolved oxygen saturation, and conductivity profiles recorded in reservoirs from the Llobregat basin during the summer of 2005. Despite 6 months of stratification, oxygen saturation still showed high values except in La Baells. Compare these profiles with those from the Ter River reservoirs in Fig. 8...

Figures 6 and 7 show several HPLC fractions of raw and drinking water from Llobregat and Ter rivers (both supplying water to Barcelona). Surfactants has been identified from their relevant peaks in the positive mode. Nevertheless, whe the assignation was doubtfoul negative FAB and tandem MS/MS were also employed (9).

One day in the spring of 1937, Dr. ter Meer and Dr. Ambros began the search for another buna site that was to take them, four years later, to Auschwitz. The prosecution contended that the "possible war" turned their feet toward the East. Only one buna plant was in the Rhine Valley, which offered everything they needed water power, calcium deposits, economy of operation. In and beside the Rhine River were water and rail transportation to take the finished rubber to its nearby destinations. 

According to Dr. ter Meer, the existence of the concentration camp had not crossed his mind when he accepted Ambros invitation (this was his first visit, a year before he scanned the grounds from the boiler house) to come down to look the place over. Here was an industrial delight The buna factory they wanted to build would have a capacity larger than any of the others. They would need a million tons of hard coal, and Oswiecem was on the southern border of the Silesian coal fields. The plant needed as much power as the city of Berlin, and here at Oswiecem three rivers united — the Sola, the Przemsze, and the Little Vistula. East of the town was another river which could furnish extra power and would take off the waste from the plant. 

A buna factory needed a lot of water, even in winter. They planned to cut a canal to connect the Vistula to the Oder a few miles away. Oswiecem was on a level plain, and all the waters of all the rivers around could be harnessed without flooding. Oswiecem fell on a line between Krakow and Vienna, and the old short stretches of railways could be joined to ship the buna back to the Reich. Said Ter Meer "There were really so many of our industrial prerequisites that one has to admit that this location, Auschwitz, was ideal industrially."... 

But the record restored his doctorate, setting forth one decision where his authority had eclipsed his more venerable colleagues. Once more, before he and Ter Meer had selected the Auschwitz site, Ambros had traveled the Oder River with a Farben engineer,...

Llobregat (156 km length, 700 Hm3/year mean flow) and Ter (208 km length, 845 Hm3/year mean flow) rivers are two examples of Mediterranean river basins (Fig. 4). The reason why both rivers are considered as only one system relies on the fact that both are interconnected and supply drinking water to Barcelona...

Zinc-65, a strong gamma emitter produced by neutron activation in water-cooled reactors such as those at Hanford, was of interest to radiation ecologists. We have discussed the tagging of waterfowl by this nuclide and P-tagging in waterfowl in the Columbia River at Hanford (Hanson and Case, 1%3) in Cluq>ter 6 (Section 6.3.3). The biological uptake and retention of Zsx by mallard ducks...
