The two principal objectives of this study were to: provide a representative description of the physical, chemical and biologic aspects of Loch Raven Reservoir, the principal source of water supply for Baltimore, Maryland; and, illustrate how natural phenomena may affect the quality of water within, and withdrawn from, surface water supply impoundments. Field work and laboratory analyses were conducted by the author from early April through November of 1964, the period when a large lake or reservoir in this part of the country passes from spring turnover through summer stratification to fall turnover.
