Lake Water Quality: Data To 2024

Specific biological and chemical variables, and clarity, are indicators of lake water quality.

We report on nine biological, chemical, and physical lake water quality variables based on measurements made at monitored lake sites and spatially modelled data: trophic level index, chlorophyll-a, Escherichia coli, total phosphorus, dissolved reactive phosphorus, total nitrogen, ammoniacal nitrogen, nitrate-nitrite-nitrogen, and clarity.

Definitions and metadata has more information about this indicator.
