Lac qui Parle Reservoir - Lake Assessment Program



Minor watershed number(s):   22008

The Lac qui Parle Reservoir is located in minor watershed 22008. The project area is the Lac qui Parle Reservoir watershed which includes the Upper Minnesota River, Pomme de Terre River, Lac qui Parle River and Chippewa River Major Watersheds of the Minnesota River Basin.

The Lac qui Parle Lake project was completed through the MPCA - Lake Assessment Program (LAP) in 1988. 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.
