    This document provides information about Lake Washington located in Seattle, including its volume, depth, inflow/outflow rates, and historical total phosphorus (TP) concentration levels from 1930 to 2000. It describes how the lake began deteriorating in the 1950s/1960s due to increased phosphorus loadings until sewage inputs were reduced in the late 1960s. Tables show measured annual inflow TP concentrations from 1930 to 1979 and measured annual TP concentrations in the lake from 1930 to 1979. The document instructs the user to simulate the lake's response over this time period using a Steve01 simulation model, setting the initial 1930 TP concentration at 17.4 μg/L, assuming no TP decay but a settling rate adjusted until a

    Hands-On Exercise #1: Steve01 Simulation for Lake Washington TP

    Lake Washington, a beautiful lake located in Seattle (WA) has the following general
    characteristics:
    volume = 2.9109 m3
    mean depth = 33 m
    inflow = outflow = 1.25109 m3/yr
    In the 1950s and 1960s it began to deteriorate because of increased loadings of the nutrient
    phosphorus. As a consequence, in the late 1960s, sewage inputs were greatly curtailed. The
    loadings from 1930 through the late 1970s are summarized as inflow concentrations in the
    following table:

    Use Steve01.xls to simulate the lake's response from 1930 through 2000. On the Steve01
    worksheet, go to cell B9 and enter the path to a proper directory on your computer. Change the
    saved file name (cell B8 on the Steve01 Worksheet) to HO1XXX, where XXX are your initials.
    Click on the Run button. Steve01 will begin to execute. Set the initial condition in 1930 at 17.4
    g/L. In addition, total phosphorus does not decay (k = 0) but it does settle. Total phosphorus
    settles at a rate that ranges from about 5 to 50 m/yr. Assume 10 m/yr as a starting value for the
    settling velocity. Adjust the settling velocity until you get a good fit for the peak phosphorus
    concentration.
