| Description | In 1998 the Washington State Department of Ecology embarked on a different approach to assessing lake water quality. Recent methods in lake monitoring focused on general assessments and long-term trends in water clarity. Although trend data are crucial in the documentation of declining or improving water quality through time, they provide little information as to whether or not beneficial uses of a lake are impaired. The new approach in 1998 is an attempt to evaluate the condition of the beneficial uses on certain lakes throughout the state and to recommend lake-specific nutrient criteria for those lakes in order to protect or restore the uses. |
