This report presents the basic data that were
collected during a study of the chemical quality
of water in the reservoir, data were collected
during the period August 1973 to October 1975.
The report includes tables of chemical analyses
of water from selected sites in Flaming Gorge
Reservoir., in situ measurements of specific
conductance, temperature, dissolved oxygen and
pH, and Secchi-disk measurements.

The Green River is the largest tributary to
Flaming Gorge Reservoir. For the 1957-1972
water years, it contributed 811 of the total
streamflow and 70 percent of the total load of
dissolved solids. The principle constituents
in the tributary streamflow are calcium and
sulfate during periods of lowest flow, and
calcium and bicarbonate during periods of
highest flow. Anaerobic conditions were observed
in the deep, uncirculated part of the reservoir
during 1971 and 1972, and near-anaerobic condi-
tions were observed near the confluence of
Blacks Fork and the Green River. The highest
concentration of sulfate ion, about 290 milli-
grams per litre (58 percent), occurred in 1963,
immediately after closure of the dam. Prior to
closure of the dam, the average monthly tempera-
ture of the Green River below the dam site
ranged from 0°C to 19.5°C as compared to 3.5°C
to 10.0°C after closure.
