2015 marked the tenth year of lake monitoring since the Lake Windermere Project started data collection in 2006. The spring and summer of 2014 and 2015 brought mild climatic conditions without the major flooding events which characterized 2012 and 2013. Measured lake depths in 2015 were comparable to those in 2006-2008, and shallower than average levels in more recent years (2012, 2014). 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. Beach monitoring results show that shoreline bacteria levels did not exceed the recommended Guidelines for safe swimming on any of Lake Windermere’s public beaches over the summer. Total phosphorus levels at ice-off exceeded the Objective for the Lake at two sampling stations in 2015. A slight increasing trend in this nutrient has been observed in the lake in recent years, warranting continued monitoring in conjunction with efforts on land to keep excess nutrients out of the lake.
