Effect of outflow diversion on circulation and water quality of Lake Chapala / by T.J. Simons.: En13-5/85-22E-PDF

"Lake Chapala is the largest lake in Mexico and accounts for 85% of the water supply to Guadalajara, a city with a population of 3.3 million. The current water intake is located in the Santiago River which is the only outlet of lake Chapala. In order to meet the growing demand and improve the quality of the water supply, it is planned to build an aqueduct with a flow capacity of 12m2/s to pump the water directly from the lake. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate effects of this diversion on the patterns of water movement and water quality in the lake"--Exec. summary.
