Nutrient Modelling for Llangorse Lake
Llangorse Lake is the largest natural eutrophic lake in Wales and has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The lake has a history of eutrophication and so it was decided to undertake a nutrient modelling and nutrient budget exercise to determine the size and sources of nutrient loads entering the lake. Llangorse Lake has a history of eutrophication problems believed to have been caused by high nutrient loads entering the lake from the surrounding catchment. This study aimed to determine the size and main sources of those loads. Specific objectives include: - To review existing data and information on the water quality of Llangorse Lake. - To conduct a field study to investigate the nutrient budget of the lake. - To model the nutrient delivery from the catchment to the lake, with particular focus on phosphorus delivery, to give an indication of source apportionment. - To prepare a draft catchment management plan.

The nutrient load to the lake was estimated from nutrient concentrations and flows measured on the inflow streams. Nutrient concentrations were also measured in the outflow to provide an indication of lake water quality. The 8 monitoring sites were chosen to include the main drainage channels into and out of the lake and with sampling points located as close to the lake as practically possible. Water and flow sampling was conducted at fortnightly intervals for one year. Hydraulic load to the lake was calculated as were nutrient concentration in the lake inflows- specifically phosphorous and nitrate. Phosphorous concentrations in the sediments were collected and analysed.
