Water chemistry time series for Beaverdam Reservoir, Carvins Cove Reservoir, Falling Creek Reservoir, Gatewood Reservoir, and Spring Hollow Reservoir in southwestern Virginia, USA 2013-2021

Abstract:

Depth profiles of dissolved organic carbon and total and dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus were sampled from 2013 to 2021 in five drinking water reservoirs in southwestern Virginia, USA. These reservoirs are: Beaverdam Reservoir (Vinton, Virginia), Carvins Cove Reservoir (Roanoke, Virginia), Falling Creek Reservoir (Vinton, Virginia), Gatewood Reservoir (Pulaski, Virginia), and Spring Hollow Reservoir (Salem, Virginia). Beaverdam, Carvins Cove, Falling Creek, and Spring Hollow Reservoirs are owned and operated by the Western Virginia Water Authority as primary or secondary drinking water sources for Roanoke, Virginia, and Gatewood Reservoir is a drinking water source for the town of Pulaski, Virginia. The dataset consists of depth profiles of water chemistry samples measured at the deepest site of each reservoir adjacent to the dam. Additional water chemistry samples were collected at a gauged weir on Falling Creek Reservoir's primary inflow tributary, as well as surface samples at multiple upstream and inflow sites in Falling Creek Reservoir and Beaverdam Reservoir in 2019 and 2020. Inflow sites at Carvins Cove Reservoir were sampled in 2020 and 2021. The water column samples were collected approximately fortnightly from March-April, weekly from May-October, and monthly from November-February at Falling Creek Reservoir and Beaverdam Reservoir, approximately fortnightly from May-August in most years at Carvins Cove Reservoir, and approximately fortnightly from 2014-2016 in Gatewood and Spring Hollow Reservoirs, though sampling frequency and duration varied among reservoirs and years. Depth profiles of dissolved inorganic carbon were also collected from 2018-2021, but the analytical method for this analyte is still in development and these should be considered as preliminary data only.

Author contribution statement: CCC developed and led the reservoir monitoring program 2013-present. HLW was the point person for running water chemistry analyses and QAQC from 2019-2021 and led the data publication during this time. DWH co-led data publication and QAQC with HLW in 2021. BRN oversaw all sample analysis in 2020-2021, as well as developed analytical chemistry methods and QAQC procedures and oversaw analytical chemistry instrumentation and training of all co-authors throughout 2013-2021. WMW co-led data publication, analyses, and QAQC with HLW in 2020. MEL led data publication, analysis, and QAQC from 2015-2019. ABG led analysis and QAQC from 2013-2015. ABP led the field crew and contributed substantially to sampling in 2021.

Information on oxygenation at Falling Creek Reservoir From 2013 to 2021, multiple whole-ecosystem manipulations were conducted at Falling Creek Reservoir. These manipulations include intermittent operation of hypolimnetic oxygenation and pulsed epilimnetic mixing engineering systems. For a detailed description of the hypolimnetic oxygenation engineered system, see Gerling et al. (2014) and for a detailed description of the epilimnetic mixing engineered system, see Chen et al. (2017). These systems were operated over time following Table 1 in Gerling et al. (2016), Table 1 in Munger et al. (2016), and Table 2 in McClure et al. (2018). In 2019, the HOx was activated during the following time periods: 29 June to 11 September, 25 September to 02 December. In 2020, the HOx was activated during the following time periods: 29 June to 11 September, 25 September to 02 December. 2021 operation can be found in the SSS inflow file in Carey et al. (2021).
