Use small windmills driving air pumps
to improve water quality
Klamath Falls
Herald and News
Letter to the
Editor
September 20, 2009
Let’s fix Klamath Lake.
I believe that the installation of several small windmills to drive
air pumps can aerate the water and help with improved fisheries in
and downstream of the lake.
Sewer plants that process wastewater use air entrainment to help
purify the release water. As seen on TV, researchers into alga
production are using air entrainment to help with alga growth.
Is algae growth bad? If the young suckers in the lake are like the
ones in fish tank, alga is a food source for them. If the existing
alga is contaminated, then air entrainment should help purification,
and the growth of good alga.
Small slow-turning windmills put on man made islands in the lake can
be pleasing and provide roosting and nesting areas for water birds.
With better water quality, downstream complaints of contamination
should be less. Better water quality could equal better fish
population and the level of the lake can be reduced in the fall for
irrigation needs.
