摘要:
ABSTRACT:Calcium carbonate precipitate, known as “whiting,” forms in a large number of hard water lakes and reservoirs, and thus contributes to turbidity measurements in these systems. Here we document the occurrence of “whitings,” and the associated impact on turbidity, in Otisco Lake, New York. A simple, potentially broadly applicable, technique, measurement of turbidity before and after acidification, successfully quantified this component of turbidity in the lake. Calcium carbonate represented 32 percent of the turbidity in the upper waters of Otisco Lake for a three‐month period, and at times was as much as 70 percent. Routine monitoring of this component of turbidity in raw water sources, where it is significant, should provide insight into water quality management and treatment plant o
