Testing Results

One of the major activities undertaken by WAWIN during 2011 was the volunteer water sampling taken by members and sent to the Lake Partner Program for analysis. Drinking water should be 1.5µg/L and as you can see these samples far exceed the level of phosphorus. The results indicate that the sites sampled are considered mesotrophic (10 – 20 µg/L, medium nutrient level) and in some cases would be considered eutrophic (>20 µg/L) - in otherwords, too many nutrients leading to algae growth

We plan to continue the water testing this summer as well. Requests for volunteers will be sent out via this wiki in May.
