2013 overview of Pigeon Lake water quality, sediment quality, and nonfish biota

Description

Severe cyanobacterial blooms in Pigeon Lake led to an increased concern about the lake's water quality. In order to better understand the ecology and chemistry of the lake and all the factors that may affect its water quality, an enhanced lake and watershed monitoring program was initiated in 2012 and expanded in 2013. Data was collected to provide insight into potential causes of blooms, to develop a nutrient budget in order to partition phosphorus sources in the watershed and to objectively evaluate what management approaches may be most appropriate for improving the water quality in the lake. This report provides a synopsis of all 2013 data collected.
