MRBDC Fish Lake - Lake Assessment Program


MINNESOTA RIVER BASIN DATA CENTER


Fish Lake - Lake Assessment Program



Minor watershed number(s):   31009

The project area was the Fish Lake lakeshed of minor watershed 31009 which is in the Watonwan River Major Watershed.

The Fish Lake project was completed through the MPCA - Lake Assessment Program (LAP) in 1993. 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 Fish Lake - Lake Assessment Project (LAP) includes surface water quality data collected from two in-lake sites during the spring and summer of 1993. Sample 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.

Watershed Assessment

Data Summary Fish Lake - Lake Assessment Project (LAP) includes data from a watershed assessment which uses the Minnesota Lake Eutrophication Analysis Procedure (MINLEAP) model to assess changes in the quality of the lake resulting from altered nutrient inputs or altered flow. The model incorporates water quality, point source pollution potential, land cover/land use, and inflow and outflow data in its assessment.
