Purpose of Reservoir Management

Water quality management programs can be an effective tool for controlling water quality problems in domestic water supply lakes and reservoirs. They are also effective in controlling silt loading, turbidity levels, nutrient loading, and organic loading. This should reduce water treatment costs and improve recreational enjoyment and property values. Controlling the amount and type of domestic growth within the water shed runoff area is instrumental to a successful water quality management program.
