The effect of heated water on the temperature and evaporation of Hyco Lake, North Carolina, 1966-72 The effect of heated water on the temperature and evaporation of Hyco Lake, North Carolina, 1966-72

Three levels of thermal loading of Hyco Lake by heat from two steam-electric generators have resulted in higher temperatures and increased evaporation in the 3,750-acre (1,518 square hectometer) lake. During the winter, local temperature increases of 34°F (19°C) were sometimes observed at the surface as heated water spread out on top of the cooler, more-dense, lake water, affecting areas...
