An integrated nutrient budget for Lake Conway, Florida, was developed that integrated physical, chemical, and biological relationships. A hydrologic budget was constructed from measurements of stormwater runoff, subsurface seepage flows, and existing precipitation and evaporation data. It was determined that major sources of external nitrogen and phosphorus loadings were from atmospheric loadings, urban runoff, and subsurface seepage. Based upon a simulation model of the phosphorus dynamics of Lake Conway, it was concluded that sedimentation of phosphorus was occurring at higher than predicted rates, nutrient release by submerged macrophytes was salient to phosphorus dynamics, and release of phosphorus by sediments was not a significant internal source of this nutrient.

This report summarizes, in tabular form, life history information for animal species identified at Lake Conway, Orlando, Fla. A total of 180 animal species were sighted or collected on Lake Conway during the period January 1976 through September 1977. This period coincides with the baseline period of the Lake Conway Large-Scale Operations Management Test to document the effects of the introduction of the white amur fish for control of the problem aquatic plant hydrilla. Information developed in this report will be used for subsequent analysis of the effects of the white amur on the Lake Conway ecosystem. (Author).
