Evaluating water quality for lake management. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6412817
This project has two major objectives: (1) design a set of lake-evaluation techniques that can be used as early indicators of anthropogenic stress on the aquatic ecosystem; and (2) use these approaches to predict the response of the ecosystem to changes in land- and water-use practices in an effort to protect or restore water quality. The investigation utilizes the mathematical model CE-QUAL-R1, lake water-quality monitoring, and algae nutrient bioassay experiments to assess the trophic status of Lake George, NY and to test suitable management strategies. The research extends previous studies of discrete events on limiting nutrients in Lake George by determining the seasonal dynamics of nutrient limitation. The significance of nutrient bioavailability on nutrient budgets is also determined.
