| Description | The objectives of the volunteer monitoring portion of Ecology’s Lake Water Quality Assessment (LWQA) Program are to identify lakes that are exhibiting water quality problems, assess publicly-owned lakes by estimating their trophic status, and promote public awareness of lake ecology and protection. Volunteer monitors participating in the LWQA Program measured Secchi disk transparency, surface water temperature, pH, and other environmental parameters in 54 lakes in 1998 and in 47 lakes in 1999. The lakes were monitored bimonthly from May through October. To supplement volunteer-collected data, Ecology staff collected water samples and profile data from all volunteer-monitored lakes. Water samples were collected from the epilimnion layer of stratified lakes and were analyzed for total phosphorus. The appendices to this report are linked below under Related Publications. |
