 The music of the river Warta   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
This page is devoted to a simple idea that I've got a few years ago: Take a series of values of monthly mean flows of a river and play them as a tune, using the values as pitches of subsequent notes.
For this to work and be bearable to a human ear (trained to hear specific intervals) we have to round each pitch at least to the nearest half-tone.
That would serve to show, that the musicality of the Warta score (if you find it has any) is not an artefact of transformations, aggregation and rounding, but a result of the omni-present harmony of nature.

They showed that costs would be little different if the aim were to meet a 4 ppm dissolved oxygen target under average summer conditions but would rise by a factor of about 14 (at current prices) if the aim were to meet the same target under low-flow conditions, even taking a least-cost approach.
