Funded Activity Summary

Factors controlling phytoplankton patchiness in a seasonally stratified lake. This project will determine what processes result in the formation of phytoplankton patches in lakes, over what scale, and how they can be parameterized into models to assist in managing aquatic systems. This will allow key parameters to be measured at the correct time and space scales. The Controlled Lagrangian Drogue coupled with correctly parameterized hydrodynamic and water quality models will provide the Australian and International water industry with tools to measure and predict phytoplankton patchiness and make decisions about water quality treatment, offtake regimes and reservoir management. This will minimize the economic costs of water quality management and enhance the security of the quality of our water resources.
