Utah's record-breaking snowpack and resulting runoff bring both good news and bad news for the development of harmful algal blooms on Utah Lake this year.
PROVO — Utah's record-breaking snowpack and resulting runoff bring both good news and bad news for the development of harmful algal blooms on Utah Lake this year.
Bonner said algal blooms form when there are warm, sunny days, warm water temperatures and nutrient pollution — like fertilizer. "High runoff has multiple benefits," Bonner said. "Of course, bringing down water temperature, keeping the water cooler inhibits algal growth and then also just movement, turbidity."
"We also have had a lot of flooding, a lot of runoff, some big rain events, eroding river and streams, which is actually going to introduce more nutrient pollution into our waterbodies, so more food for algal growth," Bonner said. "So once our water temperatures get warm, and if we have a really hot, sunny summer, that could result in larger bloom events happening later this year.
