Our neighbor lake

Lake Wingra water is very clear right now! Our Co-chair, Lisa Grueneberg, was sampling water quality for Clean Lakes Alliance and recorded a secchi disk depth of 10.5 feet of water clarity at the middle of the lake. The extremely clear water allowed her to observe musky, a snapping turtle and lots of beautiful macrophytes (aquatic plants). Lake clarity is affected by many things, but the clarity right now is probably influenced greatly by the lack of rain bring in sediments and also by a healthy zooplankton community eating the phytoplankton (algae).
