Abstract:
Nuisance blooms of blue-green algae have caused water quality problems in the Chowan and Neuse Rivers, and the potential for similar algal problems is uncertain in new impoundments such as the Jordan and the Falls of the Neuse reservoirs. Dr. Val Smith in the Department of Biology at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill has developed models predicting algae biomass and applied the models to North Carolina reservoirs.
