INTRODUCTION

Cougar Lake is an impoundment that is located on the campus of Southern Illinois

University Edwardsville, Madison County, Illinois. The dam was closed in 1965, and the

lake’s main purpose is to provide cooling water for the SIUE cooling plant, which has an

effluent stream located on the western shore of the lake. The approximate dimensions of

Cougar Lake are as follows: surface area of 31.4 ha, maximum depth of 11 m, mean depth of

3.9 m, total lake volume of 1.22 x 106 m3, and an epilimnetic volume of 1.16 x 106 m3. The

watershed encompasses an area of 242.9 ha, which is primarily composed of grassland,

although the shoreline of the lake is heavily wooded. There are 2 main sources of water to

the lake. Surface runoff comprises the largest influx of water, and the other source is tertiary

treated sewage effluent (recently upgraded from secondary treatment).

Cougar Lake is eutrophic due to nitrogen from the tertiary treated sewage input, and

phosphate input from the time when the plant only performed secondary treatment of

wastewater. The lake has previously been treated annually with copper sulfate for algal

control, but that practice ceased in 2002.

Cougar Lake is also dimictic. During early spring, the lake is fully mixed, with

mixing driven by wind. In summer, the lake is stratified, with 3 distinct layers: the

epilimnion (0-5 m), thermocline (5-7 m), and the hypolimnion (7-11 m). The epilimnion is

the only mixed layer, and since this is where biological activity occurs in the summer

months, most of the focus on biota shifts to this layer. In fall the lake begins to turn over

again, which leads to full mixing during the winter unless the lake becomes covered with ice.

With an ice cover, the lake becomes reverse stratified, with the coldest water located on the

surface of the lake. In 2002, Cougar Lake was stocked with fish, most notably largemouth

bass, to improve lake quality and recreational fishing.

Cougar Lake was created by damming off the site of a seasonal stream. That stream

was considered to be waters of the state, and thus is regulated by the Illinois Environmental

Protection Agency. The IEPA has separate sets of rules for artificial cooling ponds, and lake

systems, so when the campus air conditioning plant began to use the lake for cooling, it was

still considered under the jurisdiction of the IEPA. The difference in artificial cooling ponds

and lake systems is the biota. Usually, artificial cooling ponds do not have complex biotic

systems contained in them, and herein lays the problem. When a lake is used for cooling of

mechanical systems, the ecology of the lake, as well as the status of the biota must be

considered. The IEPA’s interest in Cougar Lake stemmed from the impact of heated effluent

on the organisms contained within this system (Robert Washburn, personal communication).

SIUE Cooling Plant:

The SIUE cooling plant is located on the campus of SIU Edwardsville, and works

similarly to a window air conditioning unit. The cooling system of central campus (campus

dormitories and Cougar Village are not cooled by the SIUE cooling plant) is a closed circuit.

There is a large reservoir, put on line in 2002, which keeps cold water in circulation

throughout pipes in the buildings that draws heat from the air (Robert Washburn, personal

communication). The heated water is brought back to the SIUE cooling plant, and lake water

is used to draw the excess heat from the water in the campus circuit.

Water from Cougar Lake is drawn from a depth of 4 meters and pumped into the

SIUE cooling plant. Within the SIUE cooling plant, indirect heat exchange occurs between

the water in the campus circuit and the lake water. The heat exchange machinery, or chillers,

operate based on temperature. At a lower temperature, there isn’t as much water needed to

Page 3: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

drive the air conditioning system, so, the chillers operate under various speeds that quicken

and slow as needed (Dennis Duncan, personal communication). Running at 100% efficiency

24 hours a day, the SIUE cooling plant could cycle the epilimnion of Cougar Lake through

its system in 311 days. Water used to cool the central campus, not including the residence

halls, is pumped back into the reservoir, and the effluent from the SIUE cooling plant is lake

water plus additional heat (1° C above the surface temperature of the lake). Heated effluent

flows into the lake through an artificial stream, and enters the lake at its surface. The process

of heat exchange mostly occurs at night due to decreased energy costs at that time. With

most of the heated effluent entering the lake during the night, it is possible that as the

temperature rises, the lake may show a higher heat content at night than during the day. The

additional heat added to the solar warming during the day could lead to temporal rises in the

lake’s heat content.

Literature Review:

Over the last 30 years, engineers have been researching means of economically

cooling machinery. One of the solutions to this problem is the cooling reservoir. Cooling

reservoirs are generally defined either as ponds dug specifically for that purpose, or stream

beds dammed off to form an impoundment. Advantages of the cooling reservoir to dispose

of waste heat are: lower capital costs, low consumptive use of water, lower consumption of

energy, dissipation of waste heat over a large area to the atmosphere, and greater thermal

inertia (Majewski and Miller, 1979). A cooling reservoir gives the largest cooling capacity,

but is constrained by the large area needed for construction.

Although there is a large area demand for the construction of these reservoirs, they

are becoming more common. Some of the newest power plants that utilize lakes for cooling

are not building their own lakes, but instead are utilizing larger lakes for their cooling needs.

Page 4: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

One such example is Cornell University’s cooling plant, which is located on the shore of

Lake Cayuga (Figure 1). The Cornell cooling plant operates similarly to the SIUE cooling

plant, but on a much larger scale. Differences occur in the depth at which water is drawn

from and the temperature difference at which water is put back into the lake. SIUE’s cooling

plant draws its water from 4 meters (in the epilimnion) and puts water back 1° C above the

surface lake temperature, while Cornell’s cooling plant removes its water from 250 ft

(bottom of the lake) and replaces the water at about 8° C above surface lake temperature.

Engineers calculate the design of cooling reservoirs by careful modeling, and rules of

thumb. Some of these rules of thumb are 1-2 acres of lake per megawatt of installed

capacity, or 75-150 btu of heat loss per hour per square foot. Engineers cannot always

strictly follow these rules because meteorological differences in different areas may have

large effects on the rate of heat transfer. Thus, all cases must be considered on an individual

basis (IEPA, 1971).

In addition to rules of thumb, engineering research has shown that certain design

aspects of cooling lakes provide more efficient heat dissipation than others. Research has

determined that lakes with similar surface areas can show great differences in cooling

performance. Heat transfer that occurs within the impoundment governs the amount of

surface cooling that can be attained. The most effective configuration is a deep, well-

stratified impoundment. This configuration type exhibits good steady state performance, is

density current dominated, and has excellent thermal inertia (Jirka et al., 1981). Deep,

stratified impoundments are usually wind mixed in the summer, with most of the heat being

contained in the epilimnion. Here, the wind is the agent of mixing, which allows the heat to

be homogenized within the mixed layer (Harleman, 1982). In this case, the ideal cooling

lake will have a high length: width ratio as well as a large fetch (Jirka et al., 1981). The fetch

is an uninterrupted length of lake surface that will allow more powerful wind mixing

(Edmunson and Mazumder, 2002).

In some areas, construction of a deep, stratified impoundment may not be feasible. In

such instances, shallow depth cooling ponds are the only alternative. These ponds are not as

effective and tend to have problems with internal recirculation. Recirculation will lead to a

breakdown of the cooling mechanism by not allowing the pond to mix as well, which also

won’t allow for efficient surface cooling. Shallow ponds need an internal arrangement of

baffles, or below water barriers, to prevent internal recirculation zones. If only a shallow

pond design is feasible, the design of the pond should arrange the baffles to decrease the

number of directional flow changes, which will also prevent recirculation, or create a U-

shaped pond to offset the large costs of baffle design (Jirka et al., 1981).

Other criteria have been applied to cooling lakes to increase their cooling capacity.

One such method is spray cooling. Placing a fountain into a cooling lake will greatly

increase the amount of evaporative loss that can be gained from a cooling lake (up to a 20

fold increase) (Ryan, 1975). Another possible mechanism of cooling is the addition of

vegetation to the cooling pond. Miller (1974) found that costal mangrove forests may

provide increased cooling by the shade provided to the surface of the lake. The shade from

the trees could increase the turbulent transfer of heat and water vapor from the surface of the

water body. Although this study occurred in a tropical area, the advantages could be seen

throughout the temperate region with additional study.

Heat Budget:

The heat budget of a lake is the total amount of heat that is contained in a body of

water at any given time. The heat budget is calculated based on the premise that 1 calorie of

Page 7: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

7

energy will raise 1 cm3 of water 1° C. The heat budget is expressed as the amount of heat

contained in the lake over the lake’s surface area. Studies that contain such data refer to it as

the Birgean Heat budget, named after E.A. Birge, the scientist who first calculated it. Birge

and Juday did the first such studies in 1915 at the Finger Lakes in New York (Stewart, 1974).

Juday (1940) later quantified the amount of energy contained in Lake Mendota in Madison,

Wisconsin. From his data, he contended that energy budgets of lakes at different latitudes

are different due to the amount of solar radiation that they receive. For instance, heat content

of temperate lakes will have a peak heat budget in the warm summer months, with most of

the heat being contained in the mixed epilimnion. There will be a constant amount of heat in

the non-mixed hypolimnion until periods of turnover in fall and spring when the lake is

entirely mixed. A decrease in solar radiation over the summer months should result in a

lower heat budget in a temperate lake. Conversely, a tropical lake will receive direct solar

radiation for a longer period of time. Tropical lakes are continually mixed, thus the heat is

allowed to dissipate throughout the entire lake volume, resulting in a larger heat budget.

Heat budget studies are of importance because the amount of solar radiation received

by a lake over the course of a year is the major determining factor of the changes in the

physical, chemical, and biological cycles that occur in the water column (Juday, 1940).

Changes in this heating pattern could alter these cycles greatly. Therefore, by calculating the

amount of energy gained from solar radiation and calculating the loss of surface energy due

to evaporation, it is possible to measure and quantify extraneous sources of heat such as

thermal pollution from industrial plants that use water bodies as a depository for waste heat.

A study done by Stewart (1974) utilized Birgean heat budget data to assess variation

in the heat content in lakes in Madison, Wisconsin. He assessed the impact of a power plant

thermal discharge into a dimictic lake, Lake Monona. Jets discharge heated effluent into the

Page 8: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

8

lake at a temperature 10° C above the lake surface temperature. The power plant operated at

a capacity that would cycle the entire volume of the lake over the span of one year, but

Stewart found that the heated effluent did not cause an increase in the heat content of Lake

Monona when compared to 2 lakes without a thermal discharge. Stewart also determined

that the major influence of the heat content of Lake Monona is the local climate. Average

rise in the temperature in Lake Monona was 0.03° C per day, which is small compared with

the day-to-day variation in mean temperature (Hoopes el al., 1968). Although there is a

heated effluent released into Lake Monona, the quick dissipation of heat throughout the

volume of the lake would suggest that the impact of the power plant discharge only affects

the local discharge area (Stewart, 1974). Stewart also contends that since the climatological

variation controls the heat content of the lake, concerns about the overall impact of thermal

discharge (except at the point source discharge) in Lake Monona may be over estimated.

Thermal Pollution:

Thermal pollution is a well-documented phenomenon. Usually it is associated with

large-scale power plant cooling systems, but it can also be associated with small-scale

systems such as SIUE’s cooling plant. Addition of large quantities of waste heat into a lake

could have a very noticeable impact on the biota of that lake through physical change of the

lake shape around the discharge due to erosion from cooling plant effluent, entrapment of

organisms at the area of water intake, stress on organisms due to temperature rise, and in

some cases cooling systems may have an effect on the local climate.

If the thermal discharge is at a great enough force, such as thermal jets, the discharge

area may be structurally altered. Changes in substrate and altered currents have been

noteworthy near the discharge area in some cooling lake systems (Majewski and Miller,

1979). If these systems require a powerful intake system, any organism, most notably (but

Page 9: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

9

not limited to) fish, will be affected within a close proximity to the intake pipe. Intake pipes

are usually fitted with screens to prevent larger organisms from entering the system, but this

does not mean that they cannot be harmed in the process. If the intake is powerful enough,

fish could be trapped onto the screens, which could cause them to be killed if they cannot

sufficiently fight the current. Impacts could be costly to the ecosystem and to fisheries if the

lake is used in this manner (Majewski and Miller, 1979; Sill and Gnilka, 1975; Voigtlander,

1980).

There are many ways that aquatic organisms could be negatively affected by thermal

discharges. Phytoplankton, zooplankton, invertebrates, and juvenile fish will be able to pass

through the entire system, which can cause death, and lessen recruitment of these organisms

(Majewski and Miller, 1979). Thermal tolerance of organisms can be exceeded.

Developmental stages of fish eggs may be especially vulnerable. If fish eggs encounter a

large increase in temperature early enough in development, the result could be abnormal

development or death. The ranges of thermal tolerance of fish eggs vary with species, and

need to be evaluated on a species by species basis (Frank, 1974). Organisms are also not

always directly harmed by heated effluent. Thermal discharges have been shown to increase

the number and abundance of pathogens in water systems. Examples of this are increases in

pathonogenic amoeba (Coutant, 1980), alteration of parasite host relationships (Bourque and

Esch, 1974), and even increased human pathogens in waters directly associated with cooling

systems (Lewis, 1980). The greatest effect, though, would be as a result of a combination of

the above factors.

Climate change could also be an expected effect of a cooling lake. Evaporative

surface cooling is an important mechanism for removal of heat from a cooling lake

(Hoffmann, 1980). Large lake systems, such as Lake Michigan, have a direct effect on the

Page 10: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

10

climate of the surrounding environment. Large amounts of heated effluent added to larger

lakes could increase effects such as: ground level fog and ice, clouds and precipitation, and

severe weather effects (Majewski and Miller, 1979). These atmospheric effects are more

likely on a large scale, and most likely will not be seen at Cougar Lake due to the small-scale

operation of the SIUE cooling plant.

Despite many negative effects associated with thermal inputs to water systems, there

are also benefits. Fisheries could be positively impacted by an increase in water temperature.

In Cougar Lake, the best fishing is found in one of the warmest, shallowest areas of the lake

(Robert Washburn, personal communication). Thermal discharge areas have also been found

to create preferential habitat for fishes. Cooke et al. (2004) found that smallmouth bass spent

their time in the warmest areas of the water in the summer, and resided within the thermal

effluent in the winter. This example provides support that increased water temperature could

positively impact the productivity of fisheries.

Hypothesis:

I believe that the epilimnion of Cougar Lake is the major determinant of the overall

heat budget of the lake. Because Cougar Lake is dimictic, the major impact of the SIUE

cooling plant will be seen in the upper 5 meters. There is no cooling demand over the winter

months when the lake is fully mixed, whereas the bulk of the demand for cooling will be in

the summer months when the lake is stratified. Since the hypolimnion will not be affected

during the peak-cooling season, the epilimnion is where the interaction between organisms

and waste heat will take place. An addition of large amounts of heat could potentially have

an adverse impact on the top 5 meters of Cougar Lake. My hypothesis is that during the

summer months, the heat put into Cougar Lake by the SIUE cooling plant will raise the

overall heat budget of the lake.

METHODS:

Data on the heat budget of Cougar Lake were collected over a period of two years

(2003-2004). In 2003, measurements were taken during the period from March 12 –

December 15, and in 2004 from March 31 – December 16. HOBO© data loggers, 6 x 4

centimeter microprocessors, were used to take water temperature measurements every two

hours during the study period. To prevent water damage, data loggers were placed in water

tight containers with drying packs after being enclosed in whirl pack bags.

Data loggers were placed in a string of pearls configuration using buoys as a float and

marker, a 2.5 kg circular plate as an anchor, rock-climbing clips to attach containers to the

rope, and fishing weights to prevent the sensors from floating outside the desired depth

(Figure 2). In 2003 the measured depths were: 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 11 meters. In 2004 the

measured depths were from 0 – 11 meters with a sensor present at each meter interval.

Measurements of air temperature were also obtained by placing a data logger in a whirl pack

bag and a plastic container, which was then attached to the shaded side of a tree on the lake

shore. This sensor was placed in the shade to prevent excess heating from direct sunlight.

My primary sampling site was located near the outflow spillway in the northernmost

arm of Cougar Lake (Figure 3). The array was placed in the deepest part of the lake (12

meters), located northeast of the SIUE cooling plant discharge stream. The array was

stationary except during periods of inclement weather (high winds), where it tended to move

in the range of ~ 5 – 10 meters. The area of each lamina, 1-meter deep increment, of the lake

was calculated by first taking 40 – 50 depth samples throughout the lake. Depth samples

were completed by R. Brugam and C. Guo and are reported in Guo (2001). Each sampling

point was marked with GPS coordinates. The measured coordinates were placed on a map of

Cougar Lake in the MapInfo© computer program, and contour lines were drawn around

coordinates with similar depth measurements. Areas of each lamina were then calculated

using the MapInfo© GIS System (Richard Brugam, personal communication).

My sampling site was reached using a boat equipped with a 6 horsepower motor.

Once in place, the boat was anchored in position and the sensor array was removed from the

water for downloading. Care was taken not to remove the array from its position during

times when measurements were being taken. Data from the sensors were downloaded using

an Onset Computer Corporation HOBO Shuttle© data transporter. After sensors were

downloaded, point measurements of light, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and secchi disc

transparency were taken before returning to the lab to download data onto the computer.

Data from the HOBO shuttle© was downloaded to the Onset Boxcar© computer

program, and then exported to a Microsoft excel spreadsheet as a text file. Data from 3/12 –

8/15/2003 were obtained from a previous study by Micah Miranda to complete the

temperature profile for that year. Temperature profiles for both 2003 and 2004 were graphed

in degrees Celsius as a line graph and an isopleth diagram. For some particular days,

temperature was plotted as a line graph to show anomalies in data.

Temperatures in degrees Celsius were first converted to energy for all measured

laminae in cal/cm3 using the formula:

(1) Thickness of lamina (m)* Area of lamina (m)* temperature (Celsius) * 106 (cm)

The thickness of the lamina for equation 1 would be 1 for both 1 and 6 meters deep because

they were only one m thick. The thickness of the lamina 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 meters deep would

be 2 because these sensors were used to calculate heat for laminae without sensors.

Page 15: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

15

Summation of the energy for the laminae was then used to generate the heat budget for 2003

and 2004. Heat budgets were then calculated in Kcal/ cm2 for the entire lake using the

equation:

∑ energy of laminas (Kcal*cm-3) (2) (surface area of lake (m2)* (1 * 106 cm)

In 2004, all laminas were measured, so equation I from above was used to generate the

energy for each lamina because there were no unmeasured laminas to account for. A heat

budget for the epilimnion (0 – 5 meters) was calculated for 2003 and 2004 using equation 2

from above.

I then obtained temperature data from two previous studies done by Rosen (1978) and

Brugam (personal communication). Data from these previous studies were used to calculate

a heat budget for both the entire lake and the epilimnion for 1975 and 1990. Equation 1 was

used to generate energies for each lamina because all were measured, and equation 2 was

used to generate heat budgets. After all heat budgets were calculated, scatter graphs were

made showing heat budgets for the entire lake and the epilimnion. Next separate heat budget

compilation graphs were made for the Cougar Lake, which contained data from 1975, 1990,

2003, and 2004.

When the final temperature data were calculated, I obtained data from the SIUE

cooling plant. Lee Hoffmeier, manager of the SIUE cooling plant, was contacted and

reported that at 100% efficiency, 12000 btu of heat per hour would be produced for each of

the 3 chillers. The amount of heat produced by the SIUE cooling plant in Kcal/ cm2 for both

2003, and 2004 was calculated using the equation:

(3) Total hours running * operating efficiency * 18.3 million btu * 252 (calories/ btu) * 0.001

(Kcal/cal) (Surface area of the lake (m2)* 1 * 106 cm)

Page 16: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

16

After the amount of heat contributed per day from the SIUE cooling plant was calculated, it

was totaled to determine the amount of heat contributed by the SIUE cooling plant over the

course of the year.

Total heat input from the SIUE cooling plant for 2003 and 2004 was then compared

to heat loss from the lake. Pan evaporation data from Belleville, IL were obtained from Jim

Angel, Illinois State Climatologist, and the total evaporative loss from the pan was then used

to calculate the amount of heat lost from the lake per month (Kcal/cm2) using following

equation:

(4) Water evaporated from pan (cm) * pan evaporation coefficient * latent heat of

vaporization of water (cal/cm3) * 0.001 Kcal/ cal

Heat rise per day of Cougar Lake was calculated for 2003 and 2004 by subtracting the

maximum heat budget of a given day from the maximum heat budget of the previous day.

A multiple regression analysis was done to determine the effect of both mean daily

temperature and SIUE cooling plant output on the heat rise in Cougar Lake from one day to

the next. The multiple regression analysis was done on a day by day basis within the year for

both 2003 and 2004. Daily mean temperature and SIUE cooling plant output were lagged by

two days for each year to ensure that there were no effects of either variable on the heat rise

of Cougar Lake for following days. In addition to the time lag analysis, scatter graphs were

made for both years comparing the epilimnetic heat budget to the daily heat input from the

SIUE cooling plant to further assess any effect from the SIUE cooling plant.

Finally, data loggers were placed horizontally from the SIUE cooling plant effluent

stream for one week starting on 3/31/2005 and ending on 4/14/2005. Data loggers were

placed in an arc and their locations were marked using GPS positioning (Figure 4). I wanted

to determine if a temperature input from the plant could be detected. Detection of a plume of

Page 17: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

Page 18: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

18

heated effluent would be determined by increased temperature of the water near the SIUE

cooling plant effluent stream, and lower temperatures away from the effluent stream. Timing

of placement of data loggers was picked so that there would be a period of SIUE cooling

plant inactivity followed by a period of activity. This particular timing was chosen because it

would mark the initial activation of the SIUE cooling plant for the year 2005. If there was a

plume of heated effluent, I would expect to see increased water temperatures closest to the

effluent stream between 4/1 and 4/3/2005. Data were then collected, downloaded, and

plotted in a line graph.

RESULTS

2003: The vertical temperature profile for 2003 shows a maximum temperature of 32.76° C

at 1 m on 7/8, and a minimum temperature of 4.57° C at 11 m on 12/14. The upper

temperature limit was taken from 1 m because the sensor located at 0 m was partially

exposed at the water surface, and was influenced by direct solar radiation (Figure 5). The

heat budget showed a maximum heat content of 13.85 kcal/cm2 on 8/26, and a minimum heat

content of 2.439 kcal/cm2 on 3/13 (Figure 6). Most of the heat in Cougar Lake is contained

within the epilimnion (first 5 meters). Figure 6 shows that the heat budget of the epilimnion

closely follows the contours of the heat budget for the entire lake, and the hypolimnion heat

budget does not. Thus, the majority of the heat in the lake is contained in the epilimnion,

which drives the warming and cooling of the lake. The hypolimnion (6-11 m) little effect on

the heat budget of Cougar Lake in the summer because it remains constant. It becomes

increasingly important during fall turnover, because its heat budget rises as Cougar Lake

turns over, allowing a greater range of habitat for biota.

The heat input from the SIUE cooling plant shows a maximum of 0.071 Kcal/cm2 on

8/20, which coincides with the return of students to campus after summer break. The

minimum heat input from the SIUE cooling plant, on days when it was running, was 0.0044

Kcal/cm2 on 11/26. Minimal cooling is needed in the cooler months of the year. The total

amount of heat that was added to Cougar Lake from the SIUE cooling plant in 2003 was 6.6

Kcal/cm2 (Figure 7).

Multiple regression analysis showed that the heat rise in the lake per day is not

correlated with the heat input From the SIUE cooling plant for that day (p = 0.671). The

mean daily temperature, though, is correlated with the rise in lake temperature for that day (p

= 0.00005). The multiple regression when daily mean temperature and SIUE cooling plant

heat were lagged for 1 and 2 days shows that the heat added from the SIUE cooling plant

does not affect the temperature in the lake for the days following the heated effluent release

into Cougar Lake( p = 0.459, 0.770) (Figure 8). Mean daily temperature correlated with the

mean daily air temperature for the following day (p = 0.026), but loses its correlation with the

heat rise of the lake after 2 days (p = 0.324) (Figure 8). The r-values for the multiple

regressions were as follows: 0.12 for the same day, 0.02 lagged one day, and 0.006 lagged 2

days. These r-values show that for the same day, only 12% of the variation is explained on

the same day, 2% is explained lagged one day, and < 1% is explained by the regression when

lagged 2 days. The overall heat budget of Cougar Lake shows a similar pattern to the heat

input of the SIUE cooling plant per day, because warmer days will increase cooling demand

(Figure 9).

Evaporative heat loss from Cougar Lake showed a maximum of 8.99 Kcal/cm2 for the

month of July, and a minimum of 5.571 Kcal/cm2 for the month of September. Total

evaporative heat loss for Cougar Lake in 2003 was 36.54 Kcal/cm2 (Figure 10). Evaporative

heat loss from the lake surface far exceeds the heat input from the SIUE cooling plant when

comparing the total amount of heat that could have been contributed to the lake from the

SIUE cooling plant (6.6 Kcal/cm2) to that of the evaporative loss of the lake (36.54

Kcal/cm2). On 7/18, the maximum heat budget of Cougar Lake was reached at 12 am

(Figure 11). Thus the SIUE cooling plant may have a small warming effect on Cougar Lake

on particular nights.

2004: The vertical temperature profile for 2004 shows a maximum temperature of 34.43º C

at 1 m on 7/22, and a minimum temperature of 5.4º C at 11 m on 12/16. Again, the upper

temperature limit was taken from 1 m because the sensor located at 0 m was partially

exposed at the water surface, and was easily influenced by solar radiation (Figure 12). The

heat budget showed a maximum heat content of 14.39 Kcal/cm2 on 7/22 and a minimum heat

content of 2.94 Kcal/cm2 on 12/16 (Figure 13). Again most of the heat in the lake is

contained in the epilimnion, and there is little to no contribution to the heat budget by the

hypolimnion (Figure 13). The same patterns were seen as 2003, where the hypolimnion heat

content continued to rise as the Cougar Lake’s heat budget decreased, which signals that the

hypolimnion is warming due to fall turnover.

Heat input from the SIUE cooling conditioning plant shows a maximum of 0.082

Kcal/cm2 on 6/18, and a minimum for days it was running was 0.0044 Kcal/cm2 on 3/29.

The total amount of heat that could have been added to Cougar Lake in 2004 from the SIUE

cooling plant was 5.806 Kcal/cm2 (Figure 14).

Multiple regression analysis showed that the heat rise in the lake per day is not

correlated with the heat input from the SIUE cooling plant for that day (p = 0.852), but the

mean daily temperature was correlated with the rise in lake temperature for that day (p =

0.0068). The multiple regression when daily mean temperature and SIUE cooling plant heat

were lagged for 1 and 2 days showed similar results to 2003. The heat added from the SIUE

cooling plant does not affect the temperature in the lake for the days following the heated

effluent release into Cougar Lake (p = 0.254, 0.150) (Figure 15). Mean daily temperature

loses its correlation with heat rise of the lake on the following day, a shorter time period than

in 2003 (p = 0.704) (Figure 15). The r-values for the multiple regressions were as follows:

0.04 for the same day, 0.009 lagged one day, and 0.01 lagged 2 days. These r-values show

that for the same day, only 4% of the variation is explained on the same day, < 1% is

explained lagged one day, and 1% is explained by the regression when lagged 2 days.

Similarly to 2003, heat input from the SIUE cooling plant showed a similar increase to the

overall heat budget of the lake, because warmer days would require a larger cooling demand

(Figure 16).

Sensors were placed horizontally outward from the SIUE cooling plant effluent

stream (Figure 4) to attempt to detect a plume of warm water entering Cougar Lake (Figure

17). Sensors 1 and 3 were omitted due to a mechanical malfunction. There is a daily

temperature cycle in Cougar Lake, with the maximum temperature peaking between 11am –

2pm, which can be attributed to the natural daily warming rather than SIUE cooling plant

effluent.

Evaporative loss from Cougar Lake in 2004 showed a maximum of 8.39 Kcal/cm2 for

July, and a minimum of 5.964 Kcal/cm2 for September. Total evaporative loss from the lake

in 2004 was 35.65 Kcal/cm2 (Figure 10). These numbers were slightly lower than

evaporative loss in 2003. Total evaporative loss of Cougar Lake far exceeded the input from

(35.65 Kcal/cm2).

1975, 1990, 2003, and 2004 Comparison:

Figure 18 compares heat budgets from 1975, 1990, 2003, and 2004. Data for 1975

and 1990 were collected using temperature probe data taken approximately once monthly.

For each year, heat budgets follow a similar pattern of warming and cooling. The major

differences between the years are the rapidity of the increase in lake heat content and the time

of peak heat content.

In 1975, the lake showed a similar warming and cooling pattern as 2003. The

rapidity of the increase and decrease in heat content was similar, although 1975 shows lower

values at most points sampled. Data points for 1975 also show similar peaks to 2003, with

data points following similar patterns of variation throughout the year. There were not as

many data points sampled in 1975, so we cannot determine the maximum heat content.

Very few data points were available for 1990, but heat content values for this year are

consistently lower for this year than all other years. The increase and decrease of heat

content shows similar patterns to each other year, and maximum heat content seems to peak

around the same time as 2003.

The heat budget for 2004 was the least similar to the other 3 years. Each year the

maximum heat content was shown at around day 250, but in 2004 the peak was seen 50 days

earlier. The lake seemed to accumulate heat more quickly in 2004 than the other 3 years, and

also showed a sharper peak during the period of maximum heat content. Each other year

showed a more gradual incline to the maximum heat content. In 2004, the heat content of the

Chapter IV

DISCUSSION

If the heat budget of Cougar Lake is to be measured accurately, all factors regarding

heat flux into and out of the lake must be taken into account. These factors are defined in the

following equation:

(5) ∆ Heat in Cougar Lake (Kcal/cm2) = Solar Radiation (Kcal/cm2) + Heat from plant

(Kcal/cm2) – atmospheric heat loss (Kcal/cm2)

There are other processes that also can account for thermal energy in a lake, but were

neglected in Cougar Lake due to their minimal impact. These processes are: conduction of

heat from the earth’s crust, transformation of kinetic energy into heat, heating due to

chemical processes, and heating due to biological activity (Saur and Anderson, 1955). We

have also ignored possible heat input from sewage effluent. The above equation was

modified from Saur and Anderson’s by the removal of the gain of heat by advection. Cougar

Lake does not have a constant input from a tributary, so this term does not apply. If my

results are calculated according to equation 5, solar radiation entering the lake can be

determined (Table 2). For both study years, loss of heat to the atmosphere exceeds the

amount of heat added by the SIUE cooling plant by a factor of six. The large discrepancy

between heat added by solar radiation and from the SIUE cooling plant indicates that a

majority of the heat budget of Cougar Lake is a result of solar radiation, which agrees with

Dutton and Bryson’s (1962) findings that the flux of heat through the interface with the

atmosphere is the major source of the heat involved in internal thermal processes of a lake.

Page 40: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

40

Although there seems to be no effect on the lake’s heat budget for 2003 and 2004, the

heat budget data suggest that the SIUE cooling plant may have had an impact on the lake

from 1975-2004. From 1975-2004, 205188.6 m3 of building space was added to SIUE

(Washburn, Personal Communication). Thus, the large amount of additional cooling load

may have increased the heat budget of the lake because of the additional SIUE cooling plant

effluent. Although this may seem to be intuitive, the maximum heat budget for 1990 (11.44

Kcal/cm2) is lower than that of 1975, but with 132903.4 m3 of additional building space

requiring cooling. The discrepancy in heat budget from 1975 (12.47 Kcal/cm2) and 1990 to

2004 (14.39 Kcal/cm2) seems to be large, but most likely is a result of insufficient data from

1975 and 1990. For the years 2003 and 2004, I was able to obtain heat measurements from

the lake every 2 hours. In 1975 and 1990, the technology wasn’t available to do such

detailed temperature sampling, so the data for those years were taken once weekly, or even

once monthly. The large gaps of data in 1975 and 1990 may have missed the peak heat

budget for those years, and if the same amount of data was obtained, there might not have

been such a large discrepancy in heat budget values.

Table 2: Calculated Solar Radiation Values. (Show that a majority of the heat flux in Cougar Lake stems from the interaction of the lake surface and the atmosphere. Both evaporative loss and solar input greatly exceed the amount of heat generated by the campus air conditioning plant. Solar radiation was calculated using equation 5.)

Although solar radiation is one of the major determinants of the heat budget of a lake

(Benson et al., 2000), morphometry is also important when looking at the lake’s heat budget

(Timms, 1975; Mazumder and Taylor, 1994; Gorham, 1964). The most important aspects of

the morphometry of a lake are surface area, fetch, and mean depth. The surface area of a

lake determines the amount of solar radiation that enters that lake. A lake with a larger

surface area, in general, should have a higher heat budget due to an increased amount of solar

penetration. Also, a larger surface area will, in most cases, create a larger fetch.

In a lake, wind induced mixing determines the depth of the epilimnion and

thermocline and along with evaporative loss, determines the amount of heat retained in the

water column (Ambrosetti and Barbanti, 2001). Therefore, if the fetch is larger, more heat

can be retained in the lake because powerful wind mixing will allow heat to be dissipated

over a larger volume of water.

Mean depth is cited as one of the most important morphometric characteristics of a

lake in many studies (Timms, 1975; Mazumder and Taylor, 1994; Gorham, 1964). Deeper

water columns provide larger capacity to store heat, so a deeper lake with a cold hypolimnion

potentially stores more heat than a shallow lake. Although a deeper lake may have a greater

potential to store heat, it also has to have a large surface area and fetch for there to be a

marked increase in heat content. Without a long fetch, the wind mixing will be less

powerful, decreasing both the depth of the epilimnion and the heat content of the lake. A

large surface area will also allow for larger amounts of heat penetration (through solar

radiation), and a large amount of surface evaporation, which potentially could increase the

heat content of the lake. Both Cougar Lake, and on a larger scale, Cayuga Lake fit this

model.

Page 42: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

42

Due to financial constraints, we were not able to obtain heat data from a similarly

sized lake without a thermal input. Although we do not have a full data set, Cougar Lake’s

maximum heat budget can be compared to the maximum heat budget of Lake Waubesa,

Madison, Wisconsin (Stewart, 1973). My reason to compare the heat budgets of these 2

lakes is because of the similarity of their mean depths (Cougar Lake 3.9 m, Lake Waubesa

4.6m). Maximum heat budget of Cougar Lake (13.85 Kcal/cm2 in 2003, 14.39 Kcal/cm2 in

2004) was larger than the mean heat budget of Lake Waubesa over a 3-year period, even

though Lake Waubesa has a larger mean depth. Mean depth is usually directly correlated

with heat content; with a higher mean depth being associated with increased heat content. In

this case, the larger mean depth of Lake Waubesa does not signify larger heat content.

The difference in the heat content of Cougar Lake and Lake Waubesa can result from

many variables. The first is solar radiation. Solar radiation becomes less intense the farther

north of the equator a site is. Thus, less direct solar radiation will mean less heat input to the

lake (Benson et al., 2000). Similarly, at higher latitudes, the temperature could be lower,

potentially lessening the influence of atmospheric heat exchange with the lake surface.

Stewart’s (1973) data also shows variation in the heat budget between years in Lake

Waubesa similar to the heat budget variation in Cougar Lake from 2003 to 2004. From

1962-1963, Lake Waubesa had an increase in the maximum heat budget from 10.95

Kcal/cm2 to 11.74 Kcal/cm2, an increase of 0.8 Kcal/cm2. From 2003-2004, Cougar Lake

showed an increase in the heat budget from 13.85 Kcal/cm2 to 14.39, an increase of 0.54

Kcal/cm2. The increase in the heat budget of Lake Waubesa, a lake without thermal input, in

that 2 year period exceeded the heat budget increase for Cougar Lake over the period from

2003-2004, which suggests that the heat content of both lakes is driven by local climatic

conditions. Even though there is a varying amount of thermal discharge (5.964-6.6

Page 43: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

43

Kcal/cm2) in Cougar Lake between years, the change in the heat budget is less than the

change in the heat budget of Lake Waubesa, which would suggest that there is no large-scale

impact of the SIUE cooling plant on the heat budget of Cougar Lake.

Multiple regression analysis showed that for both years, the heat input from the SIUE

cooling plant did not correlate with the heat rise in Cougar Lake. The mean daily

temperature and heat input from the SIUE cooling plant were lagged to assess the impact of

the heated effluent and daily temperature for 2 days. There was no correlation with the input

from the SIUE cooling plant for any of the days following discharge, which shows that there

must be another factor that influences the rise in heat content of Cougar Lake. One factor

that could play a role in influencing lake heat content is the mean daily temperature. In 2003,

the mean daily temperature positively correlated with the temperature of the day the

measurement was taken, as well as the next day. In 2004, the mean daily temperature

positively correlated with the temperature of the day the measurement was taken, but lost its

correlation the following day.

The multiple regression results show that daily mean temperature is a major

determinant of the heat content of Cougar Lake, but it isn’t the only factor. The r-values that

were generated from the multiple regression showed a maximum of .12 and a minimum of

< 0.001. This means that only 12% of the variation in the heat rise in Cougar Lake is

explained by the regression of daily mean temperature and SIUE cooling plant heat against

the heat rise in Cougar Lake. Therefore there are other factors that I have not measured that

have an impact on the change in heat content of Cougar Lake. Examples of such factors are,

but not limited to: rain input, differing amounts of solar radiation input, and humidity in the

air. Any of these factors could contribute to the amount of heat contained in Cougar Lake, or

Page 44: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

lost to the atmosphere. So, to have an accurate assessment of the driving force of the heat

content of Cougar Lake, these other factors must be taken into account.

The amount of heat cycled through Cougar Lake is much larger than both the amount

of heat contained in the lake and produced by the SIUE cooling plant. Table 1 shows that the

amount of solar radiation exceeds the amount of heat put into the lake by the SIUE cooling

plant by a factor of 7-8 for both years. The amount of evaporative loss for both years

exceeds the amount of heat from the SIUE cooling plant by a factor of ~ 6. Evaporative loss

from the surface of Cougar Lake in a single month is almost equal to, or exceeds, the amount

of heat generated by the SIUE cooling plant over the entire growing season. The large

surface area of Cougar Lake allows for a large amount of evaporation, which leads to a high

amount of heat loss from the evaporated water. The loss of heat through evaporation is the

major reason that allows the heat budget of Cougar Lake to resist changes in heat content that

would be associated with the input of heat from the SIUE cooling plant.

To further assess any impact from the SIUE cooling plant, we determined the

horizontal temperature profile stretching outward from the SIUE cooling plant’s effluent

stream. The SIUE cooling plant, if operating at 100%, would be able to cycle the epilimnion

of Cougar Lake within 311 days. The hypolimnion would not be considered here because the

SIUE cooling plant operates from late spring to fall when the lake is stratified. Therefore, the

mixed layer will not affect water in the hypolimnion, with most heat being contained in the

epilimnion. Water entering the lake from the SIUE cooling plant is only 1° C above the

surface temperature of the lake. The large amount of time it would take to cycle the entire

epilimnion, as well as the small difference in temperature between the surface of the lake and

the effluent, would suggest there should be little to no difference in the temperature readings

of the sensors as the water radiates outward from the SIUE cooling plant effluent stream.

Page 45: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

Figure 17 shows that there is a temporal cycle for temperature, with peaks occurring each day

between 11am – 2 pm. These peaks are consistent with the maximum temperature and solar

radiation over the course of the day. If an effect of the SIUE cooling plant were to be seen,

peaks would likely occur between 11 pm – 2 am coinciding with the hours of the most

intense SIUE cooling plant operation. There is no plume of heat that is detected from the

effluent stream, the heat from the SIUE cooling plant is most likely dissipated quickly

throughout the epilimnion and lost to evaporation.

Although we did not detect a heat plume outward from the SIUE cooling plant

effluent stream, there may still be a detectible plume present. Sensors 1 and 3, which were

two of the closest sensors to the SIUE cooling plant effluent, malfunctioned and we were

unable to gather data from them. Sensor 1, being closest to the effluent stream, was the most

likely sensor to detect a plume of heat from the effluent stream. Because I could not obtain

these data, it still may be possible that there is a slight temperature plume present. Sensor 7

shows a slightly higher temperature than the rest of the array, which may suggest for some

days when the wind is blowing to the north, the heated effluent reaches sensor 7. Another

possible explanation for the higher temperature reading at sensor 7 may be lake

morphometry. Sensor 7 is in a shallower basin than the other sensors, and if the solar

radiation could penetrate deep enough to warm the substrate of the lake, the temperature at

that spot in the lake would be warmer than in deeper areas.

When Cougar Lake is assessed using the criteria outlined by Jirka et al (1981), it

seems that it is a well-engineered cooling lake. The first such criterion is that the best

cooling lake would be a deep, well-stratified impoundment. Cougar Lake is deep enough to

become stratified, and most of the heat contained in the lake in the summer months is in the

epilimnion, which makes the heat available for evaporation from the surface. Other criteria

Page 46: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

46

included a large fetch, which allows for wind mixing allowing the heat to be homogenized

throughout the epilimnion to create a deeper epilimnion (Strub et al., 1985). Cougar Lake

has a long fetch, which allows for a deeper epilimnion, and a continuous cycling of the water

throughout the epilimnion in the summer months (depending on weather patterns). Research

had shown that lakes with similar surface areas showed differences in their ability to

dissipate heat to the atmosphere. Cougar Lake has a large surface area, and when combined

with the long fetch and deep epilimnion, will allow it to dissipate a larger amount of heat

than a shallower lake with a shorter fetch and a similar surface area.

Because a majority of Cougar Lake’s heat comes from solar radiation, it is highly

unlikely that the SIUE cooling plant has a large-scale effect on the heat content of the lake.

Although there may not be any large changes in the heat content of Cougar Lake, there still is

a possibility that there is a small effect of the SIUE cooling plant. Linear regressions for both

2003 and 2004 show a slight upward slope, which indicates that there may be a slight effect

from the SIUE cooling plant, even though the overall data wouldn’t lead to that conclusion.

In 2004, heat input of the SIUE cooling plant was less than 2003, but the heat budget in 2004

was higher. Those heat budget data suggest that the SIUE cooling plant isn’t having an

effect because by that logic, an increased heat load from the SIUE cooling plant would also

show an increased heat content in the lake. Although the heat maximum data for the year

may be inconsistent with the idea that the SIUE cooling plant is affecting the lake, the heat

content for some days may suggest otherwise.

For some nights, the heat content of Cougar Lake reaches the maximum between 10

pm and 2 am. The maximum heat peaking at midnight opposes the view that the maximum

heat content should occur at the time of the maximum air temperature and solar radiation

(between 12-2 pm). Maximum heat content occurring at midnight is consistentnt with the

Page 47: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

47

operation of the SIUE cooling plant. The SIUE cooling plant mainly operates at night, due to

lower energy costs. If the SIUE cooling plant operates heavily at night, there should be a

visible effect during the nighttime hours. So, even though a large scale effect is not seen as a

result of the heat input from the SIUE cooling plant, it is still possible that there may be a

small scale effect on the heat content of Cougar Lake at some times of the day and year.

From our data, it seems that concerns over the effect of the SIUE cooling plant on Cougar

Lake may be overestimated.

CONCLUSION

Various techniques were utilized to assess the impact, if any; the SIUE cooling plant

has on Cougar Lake. Although there was an increase in the heat content in the lake from

2003 to 2004, it is unlikely that the variation in heat is a result of the SIUE cooling plant’s

activities. Multiple regression analyses determined that the SIUE cooling plant effluent does

not correlate with the rise in the heat content of the lake following discharge for either year

(p = 0.671, 0.459 lagged one day in 2003, 0.852, 0.254 lagged one day in 2004). There also

was not a detectable plume radiating outward from the SIUE cooling plant’s effluent stream.

Climatic variation (temperature and solar radiation) is the major determining factor of

the heat content of Cougar Lake. Multiple regression analysis showed that the mean daily air

temperature correlated with the heat rise in the lake for the day the measurement was

recorded, and for the following day in 2003 (p = 0.00005, 0.026 lagged one day and 0.324

lagged 2 days). The mean daily air temperature correlated with the heat rise in for the day

the measurement was taken, but lost its correlation the following day (0.0068, 0.704 lagged

one day).

The amount of solar radiation that enters the lake, as well as the amount of heat that

evaporated from the surface is considerably larger than the heat discharged from the SIUE

cooling plant. The heat that the SIUE cooling plant discharges is most likely quickly

dissipated throughout the epilimnion, and then lost through evaporation.

Although I did not detect a large-scale effect from the SIUE cooling plant, there may

be a small-scale effect. Such an effect may be detected in the shallow area nearest the SIUE

Page 49: INTRODUCTION - SIUE

49

cooling plant’s effluent stream. Overall, the concerns of the impact of the SIUE cooling

plant may be overestimated.

I reject my hypothesis that during the summer months, the heat put into Cougar Lake

by the SIUE cooling plant will raise the overall heat budget of the lake. Climatological

variation, such as solar radiation and daily temperature, is the major determinant of the heat

content of Cougar Lake.
