J.F.. 1972. Correlated Studies of Vancouver Lake--Hydraulic Model
Study. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The effects of possible modifications to the Vancouver Lake-Columbia River system on the hydraulic characteristics of that system were tested in a physical hydraulic model. A mathematical model was developed for predictive analysis and to expand the results of the hydraulic model study. Alternate methods for improving flushing action through Vancouver Lake by use of a conduit were investigated.
The theories, assumptions, test procedures, data analysis and results as presented in this report are directed towards arriving at conclusions and recommendations regarding proposed hydraulic engineering works and their effects on the hydraulic regime and water quality conditions in Vancouver Lake. The tests were conducted to determine the hydraulic characteristics and the flushing efficiency of pollutants by using a fluorescent dye to simulate the soluble conservative pollutants in the prototype. In addition, the hydraulic model study provided information on the dispersion, mixing, dilution rates and detention times which are important factors influencing water quality.
This is Part 1 of a two-part study entitled "Correlated Studies of Vancouver Lake, Washington." The other part of the study is Water Quality Prediction conducted by the Sanitary Engineering Section of the College of Engineering Research Division at Washington State University under Project Number 16080 ERQ, details of which are covered in a separate report.
This report was submitted in fulfillment of Project Number 16080 ERP under the partial sponsorship of the Environmental Protection Agency.
