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
