Long-term Limnological and Aquatic Resource Monitoring and Research Plan for Lakes Mead and Mohave
Turner K, Miller JM, Palmer CJ, 2009 Lake Mead Science Symposium. 2010. Long-term Limnological and Aquatic Resource Monitoring and Research Plan for Lakes Mead and Mohave. J8R07070010. Public Lands Institute, University of Nevada. Las Vegas, Nevada
This plan is an outgrowth of the 2009 Lake Mead Science Symposium, which was coordinated by the National Park Service (NPS) Lake Mead National Recreation Area (Lake Mead NRA) with the assistance of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). Symposium technical committee chairs and other members of the Lake Mead Water Quality Partnership funded by the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) contributed to the plan. The purpose of the plan is to document a suggested long-term monitoring and research framework for the limnological and aquatic dependent resources and drinking water quality of Lakes Mead and Mohave within Lake Mead NRA. In many areas, suggested water quality monitoring is already occurring through the regularly funded activities of one of the contributing agencies. The development of this plan has also revealed where less rigorous or no monitoring is taking place. This document does not obligate the expenditure of funds by any of the contributing agencies nor obviate any responsibility or authority of any of the contributing agencies. It is hoped that the plan will be useful to all agencies with an interest in Lakes Mead and Mohave to gain an overview of the variety of research and monitoring efforts underway, coordinate efforts, leverage funding opportunities, prevent duplication of efforts, and help document and archive data in a means that is useful to the contributing agencies and other agencies and the public.
