| Title | Potential use of hydroelectric facilities for manipulating the fertility of Lake Mead |
| Creator | Paulson, Larry J. Baker, John R. Deacon, James E. |
| Description | Analysis of historical nutrient data for Lake Mead indicates that the fertility of the reservoir has decreased which may be the cause for a corresponding decline in the largemouth bass population. However, it appears that fertility can be manipulated by altering the operation of the dam. The depletion of nutrients in the euphotic zone by phytoplankton and subsequent accumulation in the hypolimnion during summer and fall provide a natural nutrient gradient from which water of varying fertility... |
