Abstract EN
Kamaniskeg Lake is a long, narrow, and deep small lake located in the northern part of Ontario, Canada.
The goals of this paper were to examine various options to improve the water quality in the northern part of the lake by altering the local hydraulic flow conditions.
Towards this end, a preliminary screening suggested that the flow circulation could be increased around a central island (Mask Island) in the northern part of the lake by opening up an existing causeway connecting the mainland and central island.
Three-dimensional (3D) hydraulic and transport models were adopted in this paper to investigate the hydraulic conditions under various wind forces and causeway structures.
The modelling results show that opening the causeway in a few places is unlikely to generate a large flow circulation around the central island.
Full circulation only appears to be possible if the causeway is fully removed and a strong wind blows in a favourable direction.
The possible reasons for existing water quality variations at the intake of a local WTP (water treatment plant) are also explored in the paper.
