White Mound Lake
Water Quality
One measure of a lakes health is the trophic state, which relates to the amount of algae in the water. The average summer trophic state for the last 5 years was 51 (Eutrophic) and was determined using Secchi data. For a Reservoir lake, this is considered Excellent.
White Mound Lake has been monitored by volunteers since 1980. Volunteers monitor water clarity with a black and white Secchi disk. Volunteers are the source of the majority of Wisconsin's lake water quality data, and their dedication is greatly appreciated. White Mound Lake is also part of DNR's long term trend monitoring project. Reports and graphs featuring data collected by volunteers, DNR staff and others can be viewed below.
