Dr. Noelwah R. Netusil, the Stanley H. Cohn Professor of Economics at Reed College, graced us with the aforementioned presentation at our final GEMinar
(Geography, Environmental Science, and Marine Resource Management seminar) for the Winter term.
She gave an excellent lecture on a fascinating topic. Below is a PDF of her PPT; a full-length paper is in preparation.
Her work is part of the NSF-funded Portland-Vancouver Urban Long-Term Research Area (ULTRA) project.
Factoid: Like yours truly, she hails from Long Island, NY - the town of Sound Beach, on Long Island Sound.
Enjoy!

Thanks for your comment, Bill.
Water quality standards are generally the same because they are frequently mandated by EPA (unless a state imposes stricter standards). Standards also depend upon the use of the water: ag water 'standards' are different from those for drinking water, which are covered by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).

Would Tucson, AZ, water be held to a different standard because of its location?
