Identifier	Thesis 2150
Author	E, Saroeun, 1985-
Title	The effect of Hop Brook Dam on the water quality of Hop Brook and Hop Brook Reservoir
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2011;
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	A spatial analysis of water quality was conducted upstream, downstream, and within the Hop Brook Reservoir. The goal was to measure the impact of Hop Brook Dam on various parameters of water quality using a YSI 556 multi-probe system. The water quality parameters that were measured consisted of dissolved oxygen (DO), oxidation reduction potential (ORP), total dissolved solids (TDS), conductivity, pH, and temperature. Water quality parameters were measured at two sites upstream of the reservoir, two sites downstream of the dam, and one site at eight depths within the reservoir. Results from this research showed dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and total dissolved solids, pH, and temperature did not exhibit any water degradation except for oxidation reduction potential. Dissolved oxygen measured over >5 mg/L. pH measurements were within the 6.5 – 8.5 range for freshwater systems, temperature differential were slight, and total dissolved solids were <500 mg/L. Oxidation reduction potential results were out of range for freshwaters systems. DO, ORP, TDS, conductivity, pH, and temperature were measured at eight depths from.5 meters to 4 meters within the reservoir. Water quality measurements in the reservoir were consistent with other studies and showed reduction in dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature as a function of the depth and chemical changes within reservoirs. Conductivity fell within the 150 – 500 uhmos/cm range. Oxidation reduction potential was below the 300 – 500 mV range, but specific ions were not measured in the stream to find a correlative breakdown of these ions in degrading the water quality. Thermal stratification occurred causing a potential for deficiencies in nutrient mixing. Measurements occurred only in the transition zone.
