The following criteria are identified and applied to each beneficial use, as appropriate: aesthet ics/physical hazards, conservative properties, nutrients, toxic inorganic and organic materials, microbiological parameters, tainting, and radioactivity. Special attention is given to South African needs by discussing in detail the role played by toxic inorganic and organic materials, the significance of effluent discharges, and the relevance to coastal engineering of mixing zones.enCostal zonesWater qualityReport 94SANSPReportLusher, J.
