Abstract:

Researchers at the Water Resources Research Institute examined the combined effects of phosphorus and clay loading on water quality and algal communities in a Piedmont lake. Phosphorus plays a key role in producing nuisance algae in lakes, and turbidity from clay also ranks as a top water quality problem. This article discusses the project and highlights the study’s results.
