Water Quality Conditions Monitored at the Corps' Oahe Project in South Dakota during the 3-Year Period 2005 through 2007
Abstract
Water quality monitoring conducted by the Omaha District (District) at the Oahe Project over the past 3 years included 1) continuing long-term, fixed-station monitoring in the rese1voir at a near-dam deepwater location; 2) monthly sampling and continuous monitoring (i.e., hourly) of water quality conditions in the powerhouse of water discharged through Oahe Dam; and 3) intensive water quality surveys in 2005, 2006, and 2007. The continuing long-term, fixed-station monitoring consisted of monthly (i.e., May through September) field measurements and sample collection. The monitoring in the Oahe powerhouse was on water drawn from the penstocks prior to passing through the dam's turbines. The intensive surveys included monitoring at six additional in-reservoir sites and monitoring of the Missouri and Cheyenne River inflows to the reservoir. This report presents the findings of the water quality monitoring conducted by the District at the Oahe Project during the period 2005 though 2007.
