A history of restoration efforts for Vancouver Lake

in a Polluted Lake. (Bulletin 324) Washington State University. College of Engineering.
A generalized mathematical model describing the water quantity and quality behaviors within a lake is formulated. The system of equations is integrated numerically which permits prediction of the hydraulic characteristics and water quality conditions of a lake before and after the introduction of better quality water for flushing pollutant from the lake. Lake water quality can be improved by introducing an external source of water to provide flushing action by way of a conduit, by dredging lake bottom muds which are rich in nutrients, and/or by curtailing external sources of pollution to a lake.
Reliability of the mathematical model was verified with data obtained from laboratory and field experiments from four related studies. They consisted of two major components--hydrographic and water quality aspects of a test case, Vancouver Lake, Washington. The hydraulic characteristics of post-development conditions were confirmed by the hydraulic model study which provided water quality parameter data such as dilution rate or detention time for various flushing conditions. Both the water quality and hydrodynamic mathematical models reproduced field conditions.
The combined water quality and hydrodynamic model can be used to predict the probable consequences of proposed hydraulic engineering works in similar cases elsewhere.
