| Abstract |
A limnological, water quality and quantity and lake fluction, transparency, and ice cover study was made of the Tygart Lake, West Virginia, and its tributaries. The watershed of this lake has been extensively mined for coal and acid mine drainage (AMD) is discharged throughout the area. The significant sources of AMD were found to be the Tygart River and Sandy Creek. Net changes in lake depth were 14-16 meters, and the maximum change 22 meters. Transparency depth ranged from 0.1 m in December to 7.5 m in the summer. The major factors related to the development of acidity gradients in Tygart Lake were found to be (1) hydrological characteristics including inflow, outflow, and the operational interaction between the inflow and outflow resulting in storage or drawdown, (2) thermal relationships including the spring warming cycle, thermal stratification during the summer, the autumnal cooling cycle, and the winter thermal minimum and (3) water chemistry including the existing chemical stratification or its lack at the beginning of a seasonal period and the chemical quality of inflow. |
