Water Quality Conditions Monitored at the Corps' Garrison Project in North Dakota during the 3-Year Period 2003 through 2005
Abstract
Water quality monitoring conducted by the Omaha District at the Garrison Project over the past 3 years included I) continuing long-term, fixed-station monitoring in the reservoir at a near-dam deepwater location; 2) continuous monitoring (i.e., hourly) of water quality conditions in the powerhouse of water discharged through Garrison Dam; 3) intensive water quality surveys in 2003, 2004, and 2005; and 4) a special water quality study in 2005. The continuing long-term, fixed-station monitoring consisted of monthly (ie., May through September) field measurements and sample collection. The monitoring in the Garrison powerhouse was on water drawn from the penstocks prior to passing through the dam's turbines. The intensive surveys included monit01ing at seven additional in-lake sites approximately equally spaced from near the Four Bear Bridge at New Town, North Dakota to Garrison Dam, and monitoring the Missouri and Little Missouri River inflows to the lake. The special study monitoring conducted in 2005 involved measuring water quality conditions along the submerged intake channel in Lake Sakakawea near Garrison Dam. This rep01t presents the findings of the water quality monit01ing conducted by the Omaha District at the Garrison Project during the period 2003 though 2005.
