Baylor University Center for Reservoir and Aquatic Systems Research (CRASR) will conduct a phased, comprehensive evaluation of LakeWhitney to allow determination of its suitability for use as a regional water supply reservoir. The initial phase (IA) will focus on the physical limnology of the reservoir (bathymetry and fine scale salinity determination) and develop hydrodynamic watershed and reservoir models to evaluate how salinity would be expected to change with varying hydrologic and climatic factors.
