Choctaw Lake Water Quality
At choctaw lake 2013 and 2014 were both bad blue green algae years with microcystin peaking at 17 5 ppb in 2013.
Choctaw lake water quality. But our recent investment in a water quality management program seems to have paid off. Studies have shown that only a 5 to 10 horsepower of input to the prop angled downward can result in the stirring of moderate sized bottom sediments in 5 feet of water. Choctaw lake water quality lake water quality monitoring continues on a weekly basis and our lake is in good shape. This past week we did observe algae growth starting.
Microcystin concentration was 0 87 ppb in our latest lab analysis which is much less than health advisory levels and far below levels reported recently at ohio state park beaches. The lake water quality committee has begun monitoring the lake water conditions and algae activity. We focus on biological chemical ecological and navigability of the lake. Back to volunteer opportunities.
Additionally the cooler temperatures especially at night helped lower the lake water temperature a few degrees which slows the growth of the green and blue green algae. Moving to choctaw lake. Our indicators that we use to determine if blue green algae is growing and becoming a concern have improved from the last few weeks. We will share.
Lake water testing was performed this week. Our recent microcystin reading of 0 1 ppb in mid june is very good news. The lake water committee will do our best to keep you up to date on conditions. The goal of the lake water quality committee is to improve choctaw lake water.
