Predictive Modeling for the Proposed Tennessee Colony Lake Based upon Eutrophication Analysis of Lake Livingston, Texas. (Phase I)
Abstract
The purposes of this study are to provide an assessment of the effects upstream developmental activities upon Lake Livingston phytoplankton biomass, and to provide a predictive assessment of potential water quality conditions, with particular emphasis on eutrophication, for the proposed Tennessee Colony Lake. The Summary presents a listing of basic study conclusions, an overview of the study goals, a description of the eutrophication models, a review of the Lake Livingston model calibration and validation, a discussion of chlorophyll 'a' as a water quality parameter, a description of the flows, solids, and nutrient input patterns to the models, a summary of chlorophyll 'a' projections for Tennessee Colony Lake and Lake Livingston, a description of potential impacts of Tennessee Colony Lake on the productivity of Lake Livingston, a discussion of the remaining uncertainties regarding the lake eutrophication models, and a summary of several auxiliary studies concerned with the effects of barge traffic and the effects of changing land use patterns.
