<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. VANDEMOER: <br /> <br />It has a blue or blue-green alga which floats <br />on the surface. These algae are like the <br />alfalfa in that they contain chlorophyl which <br />reflects in this infrared band and give us the <br />red or the pink color on Barr Lake. <br /> <br />This is Boyd Lake (slide) out north of <br />town. Here you start to pick out blue and blue- <br />green patterns. We are seeing differences in <br />the bottom of the lake and probably differences <br />in the turbidity of the water. We see patches <br />of vegetation growing along the shore of Boyd <br />Lake. Here using the photography, we can see <br />that when we get out to sampling on the water <br />on Boyd Lake we better look carefully at what <br />this water is, because apparently there are some <br />processes going on in there which need further <br />studying on the ground. <br /> <br />This is one of my favorite lakes - Antero <br />reservoir. (slide) There is a fellow with a <br />boat, the dam area is here, and this is the <br />south shore of Antero. Huge crops of vegeta- <br />tion show up in here, deposits of salt here, <br />and here is a shallow area out into the lake <br />with a heavy growth of rooted vegetation. <br /> <br />From these photographs you can actually <br />map types of vegetation. From year to year <br />you can see their change. A little bit further <br />west, (slide) on Antero reservoir again, are <br />large crops of attached algae and rooted plants, <br />and the areas of salt along the edge. Here is <br />that same boat that you saw in the other photo- <br />graph, which was actually taken fourteen sec- <br />onds before this one. By scaling these photo- <br />graphs we are actually able to determine that <br />the boat was traveling at about 30 miles an <br />hour across Antero reservoir. <br /> <br />Lunch time is coming up, I am getting <br />hungry. I'll skip a few more." <br /> <br />"Don't skip them all." <br /> <br />-45- <br />
