The Reservoir Limnology program conducts water quality and aquatic community research on reservoirs throughout Texas. The program has a laboratory for conducting water quality chemistry emphasizing water characterization and the eutrophication process.
Analytical capabilities are available for determination of a wide range of water contaminants.
Capabilities for the characterization and monitoring of spectral qualities of water are also available. The program has a laboratory for the identification and enumeration of fisheries, phytoplankton, zooplankton, microbial, and benthic communities. The program has vehicles, boats, field sampling equipment and laboratory equipment for conducting a wide variety of limnological investigations. The Reservoir Limnology Laboratory is under the direction of Dr. Kenneth L. Dickson . Six Year Post-Impoundment Environmental Study at Lake Ray Roberts, funded by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers.
