Modeling Turbidity in a Water Supply Reservoir: Advancements and Issues
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The development and testing of a “turbidity” model is documented for a water supply reservoir, Schoharie Reservoir, NY, where inorganic terrigenous particles received during runoff events in turbid density currents from ...
Variability in Photosynthesis: Impact on DO Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A methodology for quantifying the net contribution by algae to the oxygen resources of rivers is presented. The approach recognizes natural variation in incident light as a key factor mediating the character and magnitude ...
Calculation of Daily Average Photosynthesis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is important to integrate net photosynthesis over depth and time to obtain accurate estimates of daily average net photosynthetic rates. Three different methods for calculating daily average net photosynthesis in a water ...
Impact of Lake Acidification on Stratification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of documented acidification‐based increases in transparency, i.e., decreases in diffuse light attenuation,
History of Phosphorus Loading to Onondaga Lake
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The history of phosphorus loading to, and efflux from, Onondaga Lake, New York, is presented for a 12‐yr period (1970–1981), during which several phosphorus management measures were taken. A ten‐fold reduction in phosphorus ...
Light‐Productivity Model for Onondaga Lake, N.Y.
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two models were calibrated to the 1978 primary productivity conditions of nutrient‐rich hypereutrophic Onondaga Lake, N.Y.; one was based on the approach of Bannister, the other on a more conventional format. The data base, ...
Simulation of Operations and Water Quality Performance of Reservoir Multilevel Intake Configurations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A predictive framework is developed and applied to evaluate benefits of multilevel intake configurations in managing temperature
Size Distributions and Light Scattering Features of Minerogenic Particles in a Stream during Runoff Events
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Inorganic (minerogenic) particles received from streams during runoff events cause undesirable increases in turbidity (
Modeling Turbidity and the Effects of Alum Application for a Water Supply Reservoir
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: High loads of inorganic particles received following runoff events from terrigenous sources can cause elevated turbidity (
Weather‐Based Variations in Thermal Stratification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A one-dimensional mixed-layer mathematical model of thermal stratification was used to evaluate the sensitivity of stratification conditions in a future reservoir to natural variations in attendant meteorological conditions. ...
