FY Project Schedule <br />Research Area Specific Monitoring or Research Program Funding <br /> Source <br />l. Water Quality A. Evaluate impacts of dam operations on <br /> changes in temperature regimes in main GCMRC <br /> (Addresses MO 1) channel of Lake Powell. <br /> B. Evaluate impacts of darn operations on lake <br /> chemistry, and how chemocline structures GCMRC <br /> form and change through time. Monitor <br /> cations. anions. and nitrate/phosphate ratios. <br /> C. Evaluate dam operation impacts to primary <br /> and secondary productivity including GCMRC <br /> phytoplankton and zooplankton. <br /> D. Computer simulation model study to model <br /> relative effects of dam operations and 000- Partial <br /> operational factors <br /> E. Assessment of Impacts of dam operations to <br /> physical, chemical and biological resources in Outside <br /> lake side channels and embayments. <br />2. Aquatic Ecosystem A. Develop Conceptual Model to simulate <br /> Assessments interrelationship and impacts of dam <br /> operations on physical, chemical and biotic GCMRC <br /> (Addresses MO 2) resources and other resources (fish, aquatic <br /> vegetation, habitat, etc.). <br /> B. Integration, validation and synthesis of all <br /> historic science and monitoring information GCMRC <br /> and data relating dam operations to water 2000-2003 <br /> quality and other resource change. <br /> C. Determine linked impacts of changing <br /> temperature and chemical regimes due to dam Partial <br /> operations on primary and secondary <br /> productivity and fish energy cycle. <br /> D. Determine effects of physical, chemical and <br /> biological water quality changes due to dam Partial <br /> operations on long-term fish populations. 2001-2004 <br /> E. Determine probable relationship of dam <br /> operations, selenium levels and lake primary Outside <br /> productivity . 2000 <br /> F. Determine effects of fluctuating lake levels <br /> from dam operations on aquatic factors and Partial <br /> shoreline vegetation. 2003 <br /> G. Determine effects of water temperature <br /> changes due to dam operations on recreation Outside <br /> (swimming, sport fishing). 2003 <br /> DRAFT - June 17, 1998 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
