This presentation details a study of Wright Patman Lake at three sites. Dissolved oxygen and pH were measured over twenty four hour time periods and plots were made of these parameters vs. time. Project goals were to determine levels of photosynthetic activity in the lake as depicted by changes in oxygen and pH levels. Maximum levels for pH and minimum levels of dissolved oxygen are used to determine if lake conditions meet EPA standards.
