Particle Characterization and Settling Velocities for a Water Supply Reservoir during a Turbidity Event
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Characterization of the particle population for a location in a water supply reservoir, Kensico Reservoir, N.Y., is documented for a high turbidity event, from its onset, through alum treatment and its waning. Supporting ...
Calcium Carbonate Precipitation and Transparency in Lakes: A Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The major role the whiting phenomenon (precipitation of calcium carbonate) played in regulating transparency in hard water Owasco Lake, New York, during the summer of 1985 is documented. Two whiting events occurred that ...
Entrainment‐Based Flux of Phosphorus in Onondaga Lake
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The upward transport of phosphorus from the upper stratified layers of hypereutrophic Onondaga Lake, mediated by entrainment events, was estimated for the spring-to-fall intervals of 1980 and 1981. The estimates were based ...
