MINNESOTA RIVER BASIN DATA CENTER


Lura Lake - Lake Assessment Program



Minor watershed number(s):   32053

The project area was the Lura Lake lakeshed of minor watershed 32053 which is in the Le Sueur River Major Watershed.

The Lura Lake project was completed through the MPCA - Lake Assessment Program (LAP) in 1995. 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 Lura Lake - Lake Assessment Project (LAP) includes surface water quality data collected from two in-lake sites thirteen times from 1994 to 1996. 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.
