FOREWORD
The 71 papers published in this volume represent those selected by the Programme
Committee of the International Association on Water Pollution Research for discussion at
the Jerusalem Conference out of the 176 completed papers that were submitted. Attention is drawn to the fact that each of the papers offered was adjudicated by five referees
drawn from different countries and their assessments provided the basis of selection. The
choice of papers for the Conference was therefore made by a system which is quite as
thorough as that used for the selection of papers for the International Association's
Journal "Water Research". The International Association would like to take this opportunity of recording its appreciation of the assistance that has been rendered by all the
referees in the selection of papers.
In view of the Association's policy to publish in the Proceedings only those papers
that were selected for discussion, the referees were also requested to assess the suitability
for publication in Water Research of all the papers that were submitted for the Conference. A proportion of those not included in the Conference Proceedings were recommended for publication and some of these, with the consent of the authors, will appear in
Water Research in due course.
The International Association on Water Pollution Research is indebted to the
publishers, Pergamon Press Ltd., who have made every effort to include authors' last
minute alterations to their texts so as to reduce corrections and amendments to papers to
a minimum and who have delayed publication of the Proceedings in order to include
discussions that were delayed in arrival.
The Israel Host Committee by their efficient organization of the Jerusalem Conference and the provision of editorial office facilities greatly contributed towards the
successful presentation and discussion of papers and particularly in the collation of
discussions.
In the order in which the sessions were held the Session Chairmen were:- R.
Canham, USA., N.E. Cooke, Canada., G.R. Rivas-Mijares, Venezuela., WJ. Weber, USA.,
S. Arlosoroff, Israel., C.H. Plümer, FRG., L. de W. Henry, Australia., W.H. Wiseley, USA.,
N.de Baenst, Belgium., R.P. Mathur, India., G.R. Rivas-Majares, Venezuela., F. Josa, Spain.,
R.D. Sylvester, USA., I. Zohar, Israel., W.A. Murray, South Africa., O. Jaag, Switzerland.,
G. Jamme, France., A. Wiener, Israel., E. Kuntze, FRG., E. Balasha, Israel., A. Shemtov,
Israel., E. Vasseur, Sweden., B. Bergmann-Paulson, Norway., G. Rousse, France., S. Iwai,
Japan., J.P. Lagnesse, USA., K.J. Lunn, USA., S. Kishoni, Israel., H.J. Eggink, Netherlands., M. Fleisher, Israel., T.E. Larson, USA., Mrs. O.D. Brockett, New Zealand., A.
Sorathesn, Thailand., K. Mudrack, FDR., G. Ainsworth, U.K.,
The Editor's thanks are due to authors and discussors for their acceptance of his
amendments to manuscript. He would also like to place on record the appreciation of the
International Association on Water Pollution Research to the Upper Tame Main Drainage
Authority for the facilities it has provided and to Miss I.M. Herrick for her continued
service as editorial secretary.
It is a pleasure to recognise the assistance that has been given by Mr. J. Ian
Waddington, Clyde River Purification Board, in compiling the index and to the Chairman
of that Board, Councillor D.M. Wardley, J.P., D.L., for permitting the facilities of the
Board to be used for the purpose.
In addition to the 71 papers and the discussions that are printed in this volume a
further 26 papers were prepared by invitation of the Programme Committee. These
papers and all the discussions that resulted from their presentation have been published
separately under the title "Management and Pollution Control Problems (Jerusalem
Workshop Papers)" as volume 3 of a new series of publications by Pergamon Press Ltd.,
