Description
Occurrences of significant blue-green algae blooms have resulted in stakeholders at Pigeon Lake seeking management options to assist with reducing the frequency and intensity of such events. To more effectively target activities, a nutrient budget was developed to identify phosphorus entering the lake from external and internal sources. The results of the study showed a relatively even split of external and internal phosphorous sources. This indicates that while watershed management efforts must be pursued, there may be merit in exploring in-lake options for controlling phosphorus release to achieve a more timely reduction of nuisance blooms in the future.
