BIG ROUND LAKE PROTECTION AND REHAB DISTRICT: Sediment & Core Analysis Project

The Big Round Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District will conduct a project to analyze a sediment core from the deep area of Big Round Lake. The analysis of this sediment core may help to evaluate the history of water quality in the lake and possibly help in making the following determinations: 1) Determine impact of installation of the dam on the lake's ecosystem 2) Determine changes in nutrients during the last 130 yrs 3) Determine if the frequency of algal blooms has increased during the last century 4) Determine if the macrophyte growth has changed during the last century.
