Reconnaissance Report on Papillion Creek Reservoirs.
Abstract
The purpose of this reconnaissance report is to evaluate the potential problems associated with establishing recreational facilities at the proposed Papillion Creek Reservoirs near Omaha, Nebraska. Data on the limnology of existing reservoirs in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa were compiled. Seven of the eight existing reservoirs studied were eutrophic and exhibited characteristics detrimental to water-related recreation. Based on the data available, waterbased recreation at the Papillion Creek Reservoirs will probably be of marginal quality. Turbid water, weed infestation and excessive algal blooms are all realistic problems.
