Coralville Reservoir Water Quality Study.
Abstract
The purpose of the Coralville Reservoir Water Quality Project has been the determination of the effects of a flood control reservoir on the chemical and biological characteristics of its parent river. Samples were collected from the Iowa River upstream from the reservoir; from the top, mid-depth and bottom of the reservoir and from the Iowa River at two points downstream from the dam. From October 1975 through July 1976 samples were collected on a weekly basis and analyzed only for temperature, conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen and pH. Plankton analyses were carried out monthly while all other parameters were determined on a twice monthly basis. During August and September samples were collected and analyzed twice monthly for all parameters except plankton which continued to be enumerated on a monthly basis.
