Abstract/Summary

This project is focussed on predicting the potential impacts that a proposed new reservoir near Abingdon, Oxfordshire, may have on the algal community of the middle reaches of the River Thames. The study combines the physical and chemical outputs of a Thames 1-D model with algal growth thresholds in flow, water temperature, light and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations, to assess effects on algal community structure, succession and bloom risk.
