Survey of sensitivity of southern California lakes to acid deposition. Final report, 1985-1986
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5211853
During 1985-86 solute composition of 23 California lakes and ponds was determined. The strategy was to sample the same waters during the autumn and under ice or soon after ice out and to evaluate the necessity of sampling at multiple stations and from more than one depth. Chemical parameters measured included pH, alkalinity, conductance, major cations (calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium), major anions (nitrate, sulfate, chloride), silica, nutrients (ammonium and phosphate), total and total dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus, and total and dissolved levels of aluminum, iron, and manganese. Coastal ponds and low-elevation lakes exhibited circumneutral to alkaline pH, high alkalinity and high levels of dissolved ions.
