title: [Researches on the water quality of the river Po and its tributaries between Cremona and Casalmaggiore. I. materials and methods (author's transl)].
abstract: During 1971 a research program about the status of pollution of the river Po and its tributaries was started by six Institutes of Hygiene altogether (Turin, Pavia, Milan, Parma, Modena and Ferrara Universities) with the Institute for Water Research of C.N.R. and Hydrographic Office of Magistracy of the Po. The role of the Parma University Hygiene Institute was to study the water qualities of the river Po between Cremona and Casalmaggiore and of two right side tributaries, Arda-Ongina and Taro. The hydrogeographical characteristics of the examined reach are reported in the present note, with special reference to the hydrological conditions, basin area, inhabitants and industrial typology. The sampling stations were placed upstream and downstream Cremona town, near Casalmaggiore and at the mouth of Arda-Ongina and Taro. Moreover the methods, for chemical and bacteriological analysis are reported.
