This article describes a comprehensive program of field and modeling studies aimed at acquiring a complete description of the natural physical, chemical, and biological behavior of a reservoir before the advent of heated‐water discharges from a steam‐electric generating station. These baseline evaluations were necessary to permit accurate assessment of the effects of the heated‐water discharges after the plant went into operation.
