Coralville Reservoir Water Quality Study. Water Year October 1, 1976 to September 30, 1977.

Abstract

The Coralville Reservoir Water Quality Study was first implemented in 1964. Data obtained during this period have consistently shown that the limnology and water quality of the Iowa River and Coralville Reservoir have been influenced primarily by four factors: (1) non-point source pollution resulting from agricultural activities in the drainage basin; (2) the hydrological characteristics of the Iowa River; (3) the morphometry of the Coralville Reservoir; and (4) the fluctuations in the storage and pool level of the reservoir resulting from flood control operation.
