Executive summary--assessing the response of Emerald Lake, an alpine watershed in Sequoia National Park, California, to acidification during snowmelt using a simple hydrochemical model

Hooper RP, West CT, Peters NE. 1990. Executive summary--assessing the response of Emerald Lake, an alpine watershed in Sequoia National Park, California, to acidification during snowmelt using a simple hydrochemical model. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report. 90-357. United States Geological Survey. Doraville, GA

This executive summary contains the findings and additional research needs from a report by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the California Air Resources Board, titled "Assessing the Response of Emerald Lake, an Alpine Watershed in Sequoia National Park, California, to Acidification During Snowmelt Using a Simple Hydrochemical Model," (USGS Water-Resources Investigations Report 90-4000). That report includes a full discussion of the model, its limitations, and its computer code. The data analyzed in that report and this executive summary were collected by various researchers who contributed to the Integrated Watershed Study, an intensive 5-year study of Emerald Lake and its watershed by the California Air Resources Board.
