Nestled between Glenmore Trail, Crowchild Trail and 37th Street (the westerly border of the Calgary city limits), the neighbourhood was originally named because of the view that area residents had of the Glenmore
Reservoir — a large, artificial
reservoir on the Elbow River that's a
primary source of drinking
water for the city.
In particular, we explore the hypothesis that nutrient loading and the resulting increase in
primary production stimulates GHG emissions from
reservoir water surfaces, primarily via enhanced CH4 production.
These characteristics included morphometric, geographic, and historical properties of study
reservoirs (i.e., depth, residence time, volume, surface area, age, and latitude), biologically significant
water column solute concentrations (i.e., NO3 — , total phosphorus, and dissolved organic carbon), and metrics of ecosystem
primary productivity (i.e., trophic status and mean or modeled surface
water chlorophyll a concentrations; see the supplemental materials for a complete list of the tested variables).
Already, Georgia is involved in three separate federal cases over allocation of
water from Lake Lanier, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers managed
reservoir that serves as the
primary water source for metro Atlanta and is now 13 feet lower than normal.
