Download: lwa_mcginty_report_lkwindermerewaterqualitymonitoringprogram_2019.pdf
In 2019, the Lake Windermere Ambassadors collected physical and chemical water quality parameters at three sample sites on Lake Windermere once weekly during the summer, from late May to September. The lake sampling regime included water temperature, turbidity/clarity, pH, conductivity, depth, and dissolved oxygen. Once monthly from May to September we collected Total Dissolved Phosphorus and Total Phosphorous. In addition, the LWA monitored substrate samplers at six sites on the east side of Lake Windermere for invasive mussels, as well as monitoring tributary flows and water quality at the outlet of Windermere Creek and Abel Creek. E. coli data was collected at public swim beaches weekly, from May until September, excluding weeks with a statutory holiday Monday, in partnership with the Interior Health Authority. Lastly, Goldeneye Ecological Services was contracted to complete an aquatic plant survey, and fall waterbird survey on Lake Windermere.
