Recreation water classification system and carrying capacity. Research technical completion report Item Info

A conceptual study has been made of water recreation areas of lakes and reservoirs to provide a classification system that would be useful in managing recreational resource. An analysis of useful related research literature was made and is summarized. A classification system has been developed using a factor profile approach which is a graphical method of presenting important parameters that relate to the management and allocation problems. This approach was applied to several lakes and reservoirs that are representative of the resource in Idaho. A presentation is also made on the concept of carrying capacity as related to recreation type water, primarily lakes and reservoirs. Emphasis on the brief study has been on developing a conceptual approach and methodology. Additional testing will be required to verify the rating system and its application in determining carrying capacities.
