3 Lake Pollution Can Lead To..
4 Sources of Pollution Point Sources Nutrients Sediment Salts Bacteria Other Oils and Greases
5 Sources of Pollution Nonpoint Sources Nutrients Sediment Salts Bacteria Oils and Greases Other
6 How do we Assess Lake Health? Take water samples Nutrients Bacteria Sediment Dissolved Oxygen Other Conduct habitat assessments Other parameters
7 New Hampshire Water Quality Standards Swimming? What do you want to use the waterbody for? Fishing? Boating? Bacteria Other Class or Level of Protection? Freshwater (AA, A, B, C) Pollutant? How much is safe? Nutrients Salt Concentration in water
8 Lake Winnipesaukee Water Quality Overall, good water quality However Beach advisories/closures (due to bacteria) Increased phosphorus loading Increased spread of milfoil Increased algal blooms Decline in loon and fish population
9 How do we Track Pollutant Sources?
