Abstract: Bureau of I!eclaniation r e s p o n s i b i l i t y for maintaining o r enhancing the
water q u a l i t y associated with its projects has resulted i n a conlprellcnsivc
program o f research i n water q u a l i t y and pollution control. A l i t e r a -
t u r e search and s t a t e - o f - t h e - a r t review t o determine the need f o r future
research in reaeration of streams and reservoirs revealed a large number
o f references concerning the application of aeration methods and equipment
t o waste treatment. Generally, the application of t h i s technology
t o aeration of large volumes of water such as r i v e r s and reservoirs remains
t o be developed, although several applicable references were
found. Questions regarding atmospheric reaeration in streams remain
unresolved. Research is also needed regarding the aeration capability
of hydraulic s t r u c t u r e s and control devices, development of new methods
and equipment, e f f e c t s o f dissolved a i r on c a v i t a t i o n , and comparative
economics o f various methods and equipment. Ecological effects of reaeration
are being considered in a separate review.
