Flow Science evaluated the impacts of proposed operational changes on the water quality in Lower Stone Canyon and Encino Reservoirs. The work included one- and three-dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality modeling to evaluate the impact of the new operations on the dissolved oxygen and taste and odor in the reservoirs. The work also involved a detailed investigation of the feasibility of implementing hypolimnetic oxygenation and/or selective withdrawal.
