Water Quality
Monitoring Plan
In
1994 the City began a water quality Sampling Program to establish baseline water
quality data as the Lake began to fill. Water
samples are collected from four (4) separate locations and analyzed monthly.
The City then tracks the data from year to year to determine trends and
fluctuations of various parameters.
Some of the indicators analyzed
on-site include pH, temperature, conductivity, salinity, clarity of water and
reduction/oxidation coefficient.
After
the water samples are collected, they are delivered to City labs for further
chemical analysis. Further data
collected include total dissolved solids, nitrates, nitrites, total phosphorous,
suspended solids, chlorides, sulfates, fluorides, alkalinity, fecal coliform,
and oil and grease (Petroleum Hydrocarbons).
Currently, water quality analysis shows that Alan
Henry’s water quality is very good for a West Texas lake. Please contact the
LAH project Coordinator for more specific information at 806.775.2602.
