  1. Oct 23, 2020 · The Experimental Lake Erie Hypoxia forecast is updated daily, and uses a hydrodynamic model and weather forecast data to predict the location and movement of hypoxic bottom water up to five days in advance. Hypoxia is a condition of low dissolved oxygen (< 2 mg/L) that can be harmful to aquatic life. Hypoxic upwelling events along the coast can ...

  2. Oct 22, 2024 · The central basin of Lake Erie provides drinking water to more than 2 million people along the Ohio coast. In the summer, the lake stratifies, with warm water on the top and cold, dense, deep water below. Oxygen in this deep water is used up, resulting in low oxygen, or hypoxia. This hypoxic environment is typically inhospitable to many animals.

  3. Jul 9, 2024 · Lake Erie now benefits from an advanced hypoxia forecast model, designed to help water treatment plants manage water quality more effectively. This new tool provides real-time predictions of dissolved oxygen levels, giving treatment facilities the information they need to adapt their processes and ensure safe, high-quality drinking water. Lake Erie’s central basin, a vital drinking

  4. Jul 16, 2024 · In July 2024, GLERL and partners announced that the tool, known as the Lake Erie Hypoxia Forecast, became fully operational and is now available to water plant managers in the region. Lake Erie’s central basin is a vital drinking water source for over two million people along the Ohio coast, but drinking water treatment plants in this region face significant challenges during the summer.

  5. Feb 1, 2022 · The annual economic cost of elevated levels of hypoxia is difficult to estimate, but the ecosystem services (e.g., recreational boating, fishing, tourism, drinking water) that are threatened by hypoxia in Lake Erie alone generate an annual income of over $50 billion (LEIA, 2012). As such, documenting where hypoxia occurs in the Great Lakes and ...

  6. These hypoxic conditions reduced the habitat quality for all fish studied, but the degree of effect varied with species and life stage based on differences in low-oxygen and warm-water tolerances. Across years, trends in habitat quality mirrored trends in phosphorus concentration and water column oxygen demand in central Lake Erie.

  8. Objective 2 - Data requirements and gaps for assessing hypoxic extent. Hypoxia in Lake Erie occurs at several scales. Large-scale events include the main hypoxic water mass that forms in the deeper central basin, while smaller events may occur with localized effects on habitat and water quality. While widespread hypoxia events are generally well-
