 Lake Valencia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since 1976 Lake Valencia water levels have risen due to diversion of water from neighboring watersheds—it currently acts as a reservoir for the surrounding urban centers (such as Maracay).
The lake suffers from algal blooms caused by continual influx of untreated wastewater from the surrounding urban, agricultural, and industrial land uses.
This contributes to ongoing eutrophication, contamination, and salinization of the lake.

The project will contribute to diminish the average ascend of the lake, from 43 cm to 11 cm per years and the progressive recuperation of the aquifers that are overuse at the present.
Depending on the degree of recuperation of the lake Valencia, we hope to be able to use the water as a source for human consumption from the Central Region and Metropolitan Area of Caracas.

 Tropical Eutrophic Lake Modeling and Parameter Discrimination
Water quality data collected between 1978 and 1981 in a highly eutrophic lake in Northern Venezuela, Lake Valencia, were analyzed to detect spatial and temporal trends.
Because many parameters, such as the algae concentration were constant over time, and the model is time dependent, the model had to be calibrated with the use of a large and structured trial-and-error calibration process.
Through the calibration process, the most sensitive parameters of the model were identified, and are in order of importance: the chlorophyll-to-nitrogen ratio for algae, the algae settling velocity, the phosphorus release rate from the sethments, the chlorophyll-to-phosphorus ratio for algae, and the exchange coefficient in the upper layer of the lake.
