| So just to review a little
bit� |
|
| Our best estimate of the
total phosphorus entering China Lake from sediments and external sources is
4,843 kg/yr, resulting in a concentration of 18.8 ppb. |
|
| Remember that the threshold
for algal blooms is about 15 ppb. |
|
| In order to reduce the
concentration to this amount, the total phosphorus loading needs to be
reduced to 3,850 kg/yr -- a reduction of about 1000 kg/yr, which is a lot! |
|
| So, how can this be
achieved? |
