August 23, 2012 Water Monitoring Report

Water clarity showed a slight improvement over the last three sampling events.  The temperature of the lake today was in the low 70's.  With lower temperatures, and less day light algae should reduce in number and bring clearer water into the fall.  I'll be sampling phosphorus, and observing water clarity into the fall this year.  

Secchi disk hit bottom and was still visible at the Fox River inlet

Today the in-lake average was 0.9 ft. nearly the same for the last month.  The usual summer pattern continues.
