BIG BUTTERNUT LAKE P & R DISTRICT: Big Butternut Lake Water Quality Study

Determine water quality of Big Butternut Lake by measuring physical, chemical, and biological parameters. Analyze data to determine phosphorus and algae dynamics in lake. Estimate current trophic status, effects of internal phosphorus load, and effects of zooplankton population fluctuations on algal abundance. Compare water quality of lake during 1983 with that measured during the course of this study. Disseminate information to the public by newsletter, public meetings, and local newspaper articles.
