Water Monitoring Solutions, Inc.’s Post

We had the pleasure of presenting the results of our nutrient impairment study of Lake Cypress Springs at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Surface Water Quality Monitoring workshop. This was the very first nutrient impairment study in Texas. The results suggest that the high pH impairment in the reservoir is driven by primary productivity. Although chlorophyll-a and pH were not strongly correlated, this may be due to sampling at 0.3-meter below the surface rather than using depth integrated sampling methods. However, using dissolved oxygen percent saturation as a surrogate for algae, this parameter strongly correlated with pH throughout the diel studies. Some of those correlations were as high as 1.00 and averaged around 0.9 at all stations. The results of this study along with two other special studies are available at: https://lnkd.in/ggZUwGj7 We also assisted with training TCEQ and Clean Rivers Program partners on measuring flow using the SonTek - a Xylem Brand FlowTracker 2 ADV.
