Effective management of the Lake Hopatcong watershed requires a basic understanding of a water budget. This was done by measuring outflow by gaging outflow, measuring inflows by collecting discharge measurements at selected inflows and precipitation, and measuring areas of GW inflow and outflow by comparing groundwater level to lake stage
START DATE: 01-APR-2002
END DATE: 30-APR-2003
PROJECT NUMBER: 2454ABJ
STUDY OBJECTIVES:
- Reactivate gage downstream of outlet
- Measure discharge in selected inflow streams
- Measure groundwater levels in selected wells near lake.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM:
Effective management of the Lake Hopatcong watershed requires a basic understanding of a water budget.
STRATEGY AND APPROACH:
Measure outflow by gaging outflow.
Measure inflows by collecting discharge measurements at selected inflows and precip.
Measure areas of GW inflow and outflow by comparing groundwater level to lake stage
