through the rivor and the flow gces up.

OF course, the radio-

active materials in the river water, if the piles operate on

a level scale, the dilution effect here is ths one which is
important, so you have activity density of the water being the
revorse of the flow pattern.

Again,

we

find a different seasonal

cola winterronths.,

They are high during the late fall months

and wo have supcrinvosed hera a temperature curva, and you can

see the goneral similarity of the temnerature curve and the
activity density curve.
