Sammamish River Diel Dissolved Oxygen and pH StudySeptember 21, 2005
Sammamish River Basins North Creek Little Bear Creek Swamp Creek Big Bear Creek
Study Goals • Diel variation of DO and pH during summer low-flow period • Focus on upper reach between Lake Sammamish and Woodinville • Provide information for development of dynamic water quality model
CE-QUAL-W2 Model • Vertically 2-D model • Laterally averaged • Hydrodynamics, temperature, algae/eutrophicaton kinetics • Epiphyton and riparian shade model added recently
