MRBDC Linka Lake - Lake Assessment Program


MINNESOTA RIVER BASIN DATA CENTER


Linka Lake - Lake Assessment Program



Minor watershed number(s):   26023

The project area was the Linka Lake lakeshed of minor watershed 26023 which is in the Chippewa River Major Watershed.

The Linka Lake project was completed through the MPCA - Lake Assessment Program (LAP) in 1992. A LAP report includes general information about a lake's trophic status, factors (such as land cover/land use or point source pollution potential) affecting nutrient input to the lake, fisheries health, water quality, historical trend analysis, and watershed assessment modeling.

Surface Water Quality Monitoring

Data Summary Linka Lake - Lake Assessment Project (LAP) includes surface water quality data collected five times from two in-lake sites during the spring and summer of 1992. Analysis includes nutrients (total phosphorus, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrate/nitrite-nitrogen), color, solids, pH, conductivity, alkalinity, turbidity, chlorophyll, temperature, dissolved oxygen profile, and secchi disk readings.
