BIG thanks to Our Stone County and Candi Lordo for our successful minigrant! With their help, we have monitored water quality at 9 Table Rock locations in Stone County this season. This is what community looks like!

For at least the last 10 years ALL (yes, ALL) Table Rock Lake nutrient data has come from MU, according to waterqualitydata.us. Of that data, 93% came from the Lakes of Missouri Volunteer Program. Who is providing data for your lake? Check https://www.waterqualitydata.us to see.

If you want to help us help lakes, please consider a donation so we can continue monitoring! https://mizzou.us/LakesOfMO

The MU Aquatic Ecology Lab is home to LMVP. Our student employees learn how to collect samples and conduct water quality analyses. The work we do prepares future generations of water quality professionals! Thanks, Arden!!
