  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A comparison of the prevalence of infectious gastrointestinal disease and the quality of individual, surface source water systems in Lincoln County, Oregon Author: Nauman, Hal Eugene This study was a comparison of the prevalence of infectious gastrointestinal disease and the quality of construction of individual, surface source water systems in Lincoln County, Oregon. Two measurement instruments were developed for this study. An objective instrument was developed to determine if the water systems observed in the study were adequately or inadequately constructed. A second objective instrument was developed to determine if individuals interviewed in the study were ill with an infectious gastrointestinal disease. The Delphi Method was used to validate the two instruments, and was based on a concensus of opinions by a panel of experts regarding this subject matter. The sample population was identified through a systematic selection of dwellings using a Lincoln County Department of Engineers road map and a list of random numbers. Individuals were interviewed using the Surface Source Water System Gastrointestinal Disease Evaluation instrument to determine if they had an infectious gastrointestinal disease. The surface source water systems were evaluated using the Individual Surface Source Water System Evaluation Instrument to determine if they were adequately constructed. Subsequently, the individuals were categorized as being ill or not ill. The water systems were all categorized as being adequately or inadequately constructed. The chi square statistic was used to determine if there was a significant difference between the number of people with and without an infectious gastrointestinal disease using inadequately constructed individual, surface source water systems. Also, the chi square statistic was used to determine if there was a significant difference between the number of people with and without an infectious gastrointestinal disease using adequately constructed, individual, surface source water systems. The statistical analysis revealed that there were significantly more well people than ill people using both types of water systems at a significance level of 0.05. Because of a lack of clear differentiation in the data, the common public health concept that quality of construction of individual surface source water systems as a factor in the spread of infectious gastrointestinal diseases cannot be supported or refuted. A major recommendation was to repeat the study by examining the water directly using laboratory techniques. This would positively establish the presence or absence of a disease causing organism in the water system. A literature search by the author revealed that effective measurement instruments for evaluation of relationships of gastrointestinal diseases and well construction quality were not readily available. The instruments developed by the author may require further testing to yield more definitive data.

• 54. [Article] Sea surface water motion off Chile latitudes 18°S-40°S, revealed from satellite images of chlorophyll and temperature distribution

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Sea surface water motion off Chile latitudes 18°S-40°S, revealed from satellite images of chlorophyll and temperature distribution Author: Espinoza, Felix R. The mesoscale sea-surface circulation pattern within 400 km off Chile and between 18°S and 40°S latitude is described using chlorophyll and temperature images from the Coastal Zone Color Scanner NIMBUS-7 satellite. The data base is a set of four mosaics developed from band-3 (550 nm) images taken on June 4 and September 16, 1979 and January 14 and April 7, 1980, supplemented with one mosaic of sea-surface temperature distribution for the September mosaic, orbit 4526. Coastal eddies, upwelling zones and zones of onshore-offshore transport are clearly distinguished because a zone of low-pigment concentration water generally separates the highly pigmented near-shore upwelling zones from oceanic waters with pigment concentration in mid-range. The cause of the low-pigment water adjacent to upwelling zones is not known, but the absence of temperature differences between up-welled and low-pigmented water suggest a biological cause. Onshore jets of oceanic waters are traced from distances up to 300 km offshore to within, in places, a few tens of kilometers of the shoreline; width of the jets is of the order of 60 km. In general, these onshore jets are separated by plumes of near-shore surface water moving seaward, with plumes width on the order of 40 km also extending as far as 400 km offshore. Large eddies form off the leading edges of both onshore and offshore plumes, giving rise to a formation called a "hammerhead" structure. Onshore jets are consistent with the result of Inostroza (1972) which documents intrusions of warm oceanic surface waters as semi-stationary features off Coquimbo (30°S) and off Talcahuano (37°S). Lack of wind data for 1979-80 prevents a direct correlation of onshore-offshore plumes with regional wind stress data. Low level wind charts for the 1979-80 period are too coarse in resolution to yield correlations. However, stick diagrams were prepared from coastal wind station data for 1977. Both time and space variations in surface winds could be responsible for the patterns revealed in chlorophyll images. The existence of persistent but probably episodic onshore-offshore transport of surface waters to such large distances offshore have not been reported previously for Chilean waters. These must certainly impact directly the patterns of migrations of populations of major fishery resources such as the Jack Mackerel (Trachurus murphyi, common name Jurel, species.
