| Abstract | The water quality in Upper Klamath Lake watershed, Oregon, is defined. The sources of algal nutrients and other constituents in water flowing into and out of Upper Klamath Lake are identified and the quantity of these constituents is compared in pristine streams, canals, rivers, agricultural drainage, and springs. Chemical analyses were made of algae, lake sediment and bottom fauna samples. Algal species were identified and measured. Aphanizomenon flos-aquae represented about 90-99 percent of the total algal crop during the summer. Limiting nutrient studies using the isotope Carbon-14 to measure variations in primary productivity were conducted in situ and in the laboratory. (Author) |
