Table 4.

Chlorine balance showing total inputs, losses, and accumulation of chlorine during the mass balance period (April 11, 2006–August 24, 2006). Inputs of chloride ion include chloride in the influent water, supplemental irrigation, and rainwater. All values are reported as moles of chlorine.
