Comments re: Algae

For precision sake, if I am not mistaken, the flow is proportionate to the rate of water going into the lake, and not as much as height.

Interestingly enough, if you have height, you have the opportunity to increase the flow in emergencies.

However, a higher water level, will produce colder waters that discourages algae growth, and at the same time it will have more water mass, which decreases concentration, by definition.

No matter how you look at it, a higher water level would relief the algae problem drastically, due to elementary physics.

Let's keep the fight!
