Field experiment with dye tracing and an acoustic Doppler current profiler in Kootenay Lake, B.C. / by P. Hamblin, C. Stevens, G. Lawrence.: En13-5/94-38E-PDF

"Understanding mixing of the surface waters of lakes is essential for the efficient introduction of nutrients to the photic zone as might be required to augment primary productivity for the purposes of the restoration of a sports fishery. Herein, we describe a field study of the tracing of patches of dye in the near surface layer of Kootenay Lake and the background environmental data responsible for the mixing. On the basis of our study we recommend that fertilizer be introduced in major inflowing river plumes and near promontories that accelerate flow and promote enhanced mixing"--Abstract, page 1.
