Lake Windermere 2014 Water Quality Monitoring Results
Download: lwa_harma_report_lkwindermere2014waterqualitymonitoringresults_2014.pdf
The spring and summer of 2014 brought mild climatic conditions without the major flooding events which characterized 2012 and 2013. The measured lake depths in 2014 were comparable to those in 2012, and deeper than average levels between 2006-2008 and 2011. Lake Windermere met Objectives for temperature, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity throughout the summer. This means the water was clear, cool, and well oxygenated: all in line with historic levels. The beaches were clean in 2014. Measured beach bacteria levels did not exceed the recommended Guidelines for safe swimming on any of the public beaches over the summer. Total phosphorus levels exceeded the Objective for the Lake at one sampling station in 2014. A slight increasing trend in this nutrient has been observed in the lake in recent years, warranting close monitoring of this critical nutrient and continued efforts on land to keep excess nutrients out of the lake.
