Concern | Management Response | Supporting Evidence |
Warmer releases from dammed reservoir to downstream system | Increase WSEL of managed reservoir to prevent epilimnetic releases | Table 5 |
HABs caused by rising winter water temperatures | Decrease WSEL of managed reservoir to facilitate Autumn and winter cooling | Table 3 Figure 5 |
Increased nutrient concentrations | Manage inflow nutrient concentration into reservoir | Table 6 |
Reductions in DO | No suggestion at this time | NA |
Stronger, persistent thermal stratification | No suggestion at this time | NA |
Degradation in raw water quality for treatment and distribution | Increase WSEL of managed reservoir to prevent epilimnetic withdrawals | |
