| Title | Measurement of currents in Lake Mead with the deep water isotopic current analyzer (DWICA) |
| Creator | Sartoris, J. J. Hoffman, D. A. Bureau of Reclamation |
| Description | In Nov 1967, a Deep Water Isotopic Current Analyzer (DWICA) was used to study current patterns in the Boulder Basin of Lake Mead to determine if low-quality water from Las Vegas Bay might enter the Southern Nevada Water Project intake on Saddle Island. Secondary objectives were to study the general current patterns in Boulder Basin and the effect of power discharges at Hoover Dam on these currents. Results of current measurements at 3 stations in Boulder Basin are given. Observations indicate... |
