Middle Snake River productivity and nutrient assessment 1994. Technical research completion report Item Info
![In 1994, the University of Idaho conducted a third year of research on the water quality-limited section of the middle Snake River from Twin Falls downstream to Upper Salmon Falls Dam (RM 614.8 - 581.0). This study focused on the highly productive shallow Crystal Springs Reach (Rm 599.5 - 601.3), rich in aquatic macrophyte development. In research during 1992 and 1993, the Crystal Springs Reach (CSR) was determined to be the most productive reach in the water quality-limited section. In the 1994 study described herein, we emphasized relationships in these plant beds and between the plants, water quality variables, and sediments. [...] This reach of the Middle Snake River is classified as eutrophic based on chlorophyll a concentrations, dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, dense aquatic macrophyte growths, and sediment nutrient levels.](https://objects.lib.uidaho.edu/iwdl/small/iwdl-199601_sm.jpg)
