		Waquar (1994) estimated that the flow from the Marshall Creek tributary to Hangman Creek to be from 3 to 5 cfs.
		The differences in the calcium concentration of the hydraulically connected Spokane Valley Aquifer and reaches of the Spokane River provide an alternative to stream measurement as a means of determining both the length of gaining and losing reaches and the volume of surface water and ground water interchange.
		A simple mass balance equation that uses a known flow volume at the upstream end of a river reach and concentrations of a chemical parameter at the upstream and downstream ends of the river reach and the ground water adjacent to the river is used to calculate changes in flow within the reach.

	Spokane Journal of Business - The Business Newspaper For The Inland Northwest
		Spokane County’s Utilities Division is studying options to meet the county’s wastewater-treatment needs through the year 2020—options that include building at least one major new treatment plant here, at a potential cost of as much as $110 million, or building up to three smaller treatment facilities in the Spokane Valley.
		He says treated effluent from such a plant could be dumped into the Spokane River, pumped into the Spokane-Rathdrum aquifer, reused for irrigation purposes, or a combination of those three.
		Rawls says the North Spokane plant option would have to be added to one of the other alternatives because it wouldn’t handle all of the county’s wastewater needs on its own.
