Rehabilitation of a Shallow Lake (Big Muskego Lake, Wisconsin) Via Drawdown: Sediment Response

Abstract

This technical note examines changes in sediment physical and chemical characteristics as a result of drawdown and refill of shallow Big Muskego Lake (Wisconsin) to promote macrophyte growth. Information obtained from this study may be used to assess positive (i.e., sediment consolidation) and negative (i.e., sediment nutrient release) impacts of drawdown on sediment dynamics and the potential for macrophyte growth in shallow lake rehabilitation programs.
