To make sure that I do not misquote you and vice versa, I copied what you said and what I said below.

Lotowner: You made the following statement:
"As lake levels are lowered, the concentration of the contaminants increases"
So if this is the case... As I pour Tequila out of the bottle, the "Proof" or alcohol content increases in the contents that are left behind?
I need to quickly pour out half of the bottle before I drink any of it! LOL

My original comment on 9/8/09

I personally am bothered by the extreme movements in water level. As the report stated, DO decreases as temperatures in the warm months increase. Because our lake is so deep, it probably can withstand the hotter summer temperature better than a shallow lake. The cooler temperatures from the deep water is what APC covets for the Gorgas Plant.

It is a known fact that "dilution is not the solution". The source for contamination must be controlled.

As lake levels are lowered, the concentration of the contaminants increases. This is not good during the summer months.

Lotowner 9/8/09

My answer is as follows and it support my earlier statement that concentrations will increase as lake levels decrease. My statement on 9/8/09 was based on the fact that the contaminant feed levels to the lake from whatever source are consistent in concentrations and feed rates are relatively constant. Therefore the pounds per hour being fed to the lake are independent of water level changes by APC.

Therefore, your Tequila example is not applicable to Smith Lake contaminate concentrations. What ever is in the Tequila is assumed to be homogeneous and concentrations do not change. Good try!
