The Future of the Suwannee River Sill A Review and Update S. B. Aicher – USFWS, Okefenokee NWR
Downstream Flows Water Quality Ground-water levels
Effects of the Sill Downstream • No significant changes in ground-water levels at wells downgradient.
Calcium Chloride Iron Magnesium Silica Sodium Tannin and lignin Solids residue Strontium Zinc
Effects of the Sill Downstream • No significant changes in ground-water levels at wells downgradient. • No significant change in concentrations of water-quality constituents in flows at the sill.
Effects of the Sill Downstream • No significant changes in ground-water levels at wells downgradient. • No significant change in concentrations of water-quality constituents in flows at the sill. • The sill increased the base water levels immediately upstream of the sill by 6 ft.
