Predictive modeling for the Proposed Tennessee Colony Lake Based upon Eutrophication Analysis of Lake Livingston, Texas. (Phase II).

Abstract

The report discusses the investigations of the water quality in the interim pool configuration of the proposed Tennessee Colony Lake. A eutrophication model, which had been developed in Phase I of this study, was applied to project chlorophyll 'a' trends in the interim lake. A BOD(5)-DO sub-model was added and used to investigate dissolved oxygen trends. In addition, a previously developed water quality model for the Trinity River was used to estimate the projected dissolved oxygen profiles in the headwaters of the proposed lake and in the portion of the river immediately downstream of the dam. A summary and the conclusions of the study are also presented. In summary, phase II examined the predicted water quality and eutrophication conditions in the lake and evaluated the predicted dissolved oxygen conditions in the lake headwaters and in the Trinity River below the dam.
