The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the City of Houston, conducted a study to estimate the effects on the water quality of Lake Houston from the transfer of Trinity River water. A water-quality model, CE\u2013QUAL\u2013W2, was used to simulate six water-quality properties and constituents for scenarios of interbasin transfer of Trinity River water. Three scenarios involved the transferred Trinity River water augmenting streamflow in the East Fork of Lake Houston, and three scenarios involved the transferred water replacing streamflow from the West Fork of the San Jacinto River.The estimated effects on Lake Houston were determined by comparing volume-weighted daily mean water temperature, phosphorus, ammonia nitrogen, nitrite plus nitrate nitrogen, algal biomass, and dissolved oxygen simulated for each of the transfer scenarios to simulations for a base dataset. The effects of the interbasin transfer on Lake Houston do not appear to be detrimental to water temperature, ammonia nitrogen, or dissolved oxygen. Phosphorus and nitrite plus nitrate nitrogen showed fairly large changes when Trinity River water was transferred to replace West Fork San Jacinto River streamflow. Algal biomass showed large decreases when Trinity River water was transferred to augment East Fork Lake Houston streamflow and large increases when Trinity River water was transferred to replace West Fork San Jacinto River streamflow. Regardless of the scenario simulated, the model indicated that light was the limiting factor for algal biomass growth.", "description": "iv, 50 p.", "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey" }, "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "East, Jeffery W. jweast@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Jeffery W.", "familyName": "East", "email": "jweast@usgs.gov", "affiliation": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Texas Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/oklahoma-texas-water-science-center" } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Liscum, Fred", "givenName": "Fred", "familyName": "Liscum" } ], "funder": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Texas Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/oklahoma-texas-water-science-center" } ] } }, "OpenAlex": { "abstract_inverted_index": { "The": [ 0, 33, 161 ], "City": [ 1, 41 ], "of": [ 2, 8, 42, 55, 61, 80, 83, 101, 117, 151, 163, 244 ], "Houston": [ 3, 16, 57, 126, 169, 224 ], "is": [ 4 ], "considering": [ 5 ], "the": [ 6, 11, 18, 40, 49, 52, 59, 90, 98, 108, 114, 118, 152, 164, 245, 248, 254 ], "transfer": [ 7, 60, 82, 153, 166 ], "water": [ 9, 27, 31, 53, 94, 110, 134, 177, 197, 216, 232 ], "from": [ 10, 58, 113 ], "Trinity": [ 12, 62, 84, 92, 195, 214, 230 ], "River": [ 13, 63, 85, 93, 196, 206, 215, 231, 241 ], "to": [ 14, 22, 47, 71, 155, 173, 176, 200, 219, 235 ], "Lake": [ 15, 56, 102, 125, 168, 223 ], "(on": [ 17 ], "San": [ 19, 119, 204, 239 ], "Jacinto": [ 20, 120, 205, 240 ], "River)": [ 21 ], "alleviate": [ 23 ], "concerns": [ 24 ], "about": [ 25 ], "adequate": [ 26 ], "supplies": [ 28 ], "for": [ 29, 78, 149, 157, 257 ], "future": [ 30 ], "demands.": [ 32 ], "U.S.": [ 34 ], "Geological": [ 35 ], "Survey,": [ 36 ], "in": [ 37, 97 ], "cooperation": [ 38 ], "with": [ 39 ], "Houston,": [ 43, 103 ], "conducted": [ 44 ], "a": [ 45, 158 ], "study": [ 46 ], "estimate": [ 48 ], "effects": [ 50, 123, 162 ], "on": [ 51, 124, 167 ], "quality": [ 54 ], "water.": [ 64, 86 ], "A": [ 65 ], "water-quality": [ 66, 74 ], "model,": [ 67 ], "CE\u2013QUAL\u2013W2,": [ 68 ], "was": [ 69, 198, 217, 233, 253 ], "used": [ 70 ], "simulate": [ 72 ], "six": [ 73 ], "properties": [ 75 ], "and": [ 76, 104, 145, 185, 226 ], "constituents": [ 77 ], "scenarios": [ 79, 88, 106, 154 ], "interbasin": [ 81, 165 ], "Three": [ 87 ], "involved": [ 89, 107 ], "transferred": [ 91, 109, 199, 218, 234 ], "augmenting": [ 95 ], "streamflow": [ 96, 112, 225 ], "East": [ 99, 221 ], "Fork": [ 100, 116, 203, 222, 238 ], "three": [ 105 ], "replacing": [ 111 ], "West": [ 115, 202, 237 ], "River.The": [ 121 ], "estimated": [ 122 ], "were": [ 127 ], "determined": [ 128 ], "by": [ 129 ], "comparing": [ 130 ], "volume-weighted": [ 131 ], "daily": [ 132 ], "mean": [ 133 ], "temperature,": [ 135, 178 ], "phosphorus,": [ 136 ], "ammonia": [ 137, 179 ], "nitrogen,": [ 138, 142, 180 ], "nitrite": [ 139, 186 ], "plus": [ 140, 187 ], "nitrate": [ 141, 188 ], "algal": [ 143, 258 ], "biomass,": [ 144 ], "dissolved": [ 146, 182 ], "oxygen": [ 147 ], "simulated": [ 148 ], "each": [ 150 ], "simulations": [ 156 ], "base": [ 159 ], "dataset.": [ 160 ], "do": [ 170 ], "not": [ 171 ], "appear": [ 172 ], "be": [ 174 ], "detrimental": [ 175 ], "or": [ 181 ], "oxygen.": [ 183 ], "Phosphorus": [ 184 ], "nitrogen": [ 189 ], "showed": [ 190, 210 ], "fairly": [ 191 ], "large": [ 192, 211, 227 ], "changes": [ 193 ], "when": [ 194, 213, 229 ], "replace": [ 201, 236 ], "streamflow.": [ 207, 242 ], "Algal": [ 208 ], "biomass": [ 209, 259 ], "decreases": [ 212 ], "augment": [ 220 ], "increases": [ 228 ], "Regardless": [ 243 ], "scenario": [ 246 ], "simulated,": [ 247 ], "model": [ 249 ], "indicated": [ 250 ], "that": [ 251 ], "light": [ 252 ], "limiting": [ 255 ], "factor": [ 256 ], "growth.": [ 260 ] }, "apc_list": null, "apc_paid": null, "authorships": [ { "author_position": "first", "author": { "id": "https://openalex.org/A5068010712", "display_name": "Fred Liscum", "orcid": null }, "institutions": [], "countries": [], "is_corresponding": false, "raw_author_name": "Fred Liscum", "raw_affiliation_strings": [], "affiliations": [] }, { "author_position": "last", "author": { "id": "https://openalex.org/A5079008018", "display_name": "Jeffery W.
