Experiments

This page describes experiments that were conducted on lake water samples in order to determine concentrations and produce further information that could be of use.

Rhodamine Concentration

This page describes an experiment that uses Rhodamine, a fluorescent water tracer dye, to find the flushing rate of the corrals.

 

Aluminum Dosing

This page describes an experiment that investigates the effect of aluminum salts on phosphorus.

 

Light Limitation

This page describes an experiments to observe how well algae grows at varying light levels so that we can determine whether cyanobacteria growth is light limited or not
