Abstract
The nutrient and do dynamics of lake Lyndon B. Johnson in Texas from 1972-73 were monitored, and several modeling approaches to reservoir and lake dynamics were developed. Vertical turbulent diffusion from anaerobic sediment is an important source of nutrients in the hypolimnion, but a small source in the epilimnion and euphotic zones. Sediment is identified as the greatest sink of do. Four approaches to nutrient and do dynamics were taken: the calcultion of nutrient mass balances; a temperature-do numerical computer model; a new model for vertical eddy diffusivity and steady state concentration; and a nonsteady state nutrient-phytoplankton simulation model.
