Outcome reported
- Scientists tracked dye through 41.2 miles of Montana’s Missouri River to study how substances move through the waterway.
- The dye moved at different speeds, and a reservoir retained it for 8.2 hours, producing data that can help predict contaminant movement and plan for spills.
In 2010, U.S. scientists followed a dye plume for 41.2 miles through Montana’s Missouri River.
The experiment examined how substances travel through different parts of the waterway. The dye moved at varying speeds along the river, while a reservoir held it for 8.2 hours.
Researchers measured how the plume spread downstream. The results can help predict the movement of contaminants and support planning for accidental spills.
