Diagnostic/Feasibility Study, Middle and Lower Bolton Lakes, Bolton, Vernon, Tolland, Coventry, Connecticut, 1979. Phase 1

摘要

The diagnostic/feasibility study was conducted to provide a detailed evaluation of the eutrophication process of Middle and Lower Bolton Lakes. Existing water quality conditions in the lakes were examined during an intensive one year study of lake biology, water chemistry, and physical characteristics. Watershed characteristics associated with lake water quality were evaluated by examining land use information and watershed geological data, particularly soils information. Water quality conditions and watershed characteristics are interpreted, and used to evaluate and recommend lake and watershed management alternatives for mitigating the eutrophication process.
