Effectiveness and Impacts of Dust Control Measures for Owens Lake
The US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report Effectiveness and Impacts of Dust Control Measures for Owens Lake provides a detailed review of SDS methods used to control dust from Owens Lake in California, USA.
A need to control dust from Owens Lake originated from the diversion of water from the Owens Lake basin to Los Angeles leading to Owens Lake becoming a major source of particulate matter which exceeded downwind air quality standards.
The report reviews 15 best available control measures, with a focus on reducing PM10 emitted from the lake while considering a reduction in water used, durability and reliability of methods, environmental and economic impacts, and energy needs (summarized from the report).
