“…Martin et al (1976b) found that the elevated hardness of pumped groundwater increased the ability of augmented lakes to support hydrilla, Hydrilla verticillata, growth, found that phytoplankton diversity was enhanced in augmented lakes due to increased concentrations of inorganic carbon via groundwater input.…”

We assessed effects of groundwater pumping to elevate lake levels on lake water chemistry and fish population metrics at seven Florida lakes. Following groundwater pumping, lake level fluctuation was reduced and lake water samples increased in mean pH, total alkalinity, total phosphorus, chloride and Secchi depth compared to historical means, indicating a close resemblance to the chemistry of aquifer water in the region. Fish community metrics from the augmented lakes were compared to 36 non-augmented lakes in Florida. The mean values for catch per unit effort, species richness and biomass of harvestable fishes, determined by electrofishing, were lower in augmented lakes compared to non-augmented lakes.

“…Lakes receiving large quantities of ground water (augmented lakes) have undergone measurable chemical changes, becoming similar to ground water in composition (Table 1) (Dooris, 1978;Dooris and Martin, 1980;Martin, et aL, 1976a). In previous studies, such changes in the chemical character of augmented lakes have been shown potentially to influence aquatic macrophyte growth in those lakes (Martin, et aL, 1976b), and it was suspected that phytoplankton might be affected, also. Therefore, an investigation was made of phytoplankton in augmented and nonaugmented natural lakes in Hillsborough County, Florida.…”
