When state agencies involved with the California Wtr. Proj. realized the major need for more recreational areas in Southern California, they designed Silverwood Lake, located near the headwaters of the west fork of the Mojave River, as a multipurpose reservoir. One purpose of the lake is to serve as a storage reservoir for the fresh‐water influx of Northern California water. Taking advantage of this research opportunity, three California Sate Polytech. students launched a five‐month study of the lake's water quality, the results of which are presented here.
