Project Detail

LAKE POYGAN SPORTSMAN'S CLUB: Winnebago Remote Sensing & Trophic Monitoring Project

Purpose

The Lake Poygan Sportsman Club proposes to conduct Remote Sensing Analysis on the Lake Winnebago System The product of this grant component will be a database of physical and chemical parameters to include total phosphorous, Chlorophyll a, Suspended solids; Volatile suspended solids, nitrate-nitrite, and Kjeldahl nitrogen. Eight sampling events will be scheduled to correspond with satellite flyovers. The PSC is sponsoring one year of lab analysis of water samples and travel expenses to conduct the lake appraisals on Winnebago, Winneconne, Poygan and Butte Des Mort. This project is a component of a larger partnership with UW-Madison remote Sensing Lab, NASA, and the Green Bay Metropolitan Sewer District that will develop a software toolkit for the regional and local application of remote sensing technology. This application may involve the appraisal of trophic conditions within the lakes using satellite imaging, tracking aquatic vegetation coverage, and guiding lake use during bloom conditions. AMENDMENT #1: Additional objectives will include the printing and distribution of a recently completed Lake Winnegago System Water Quality Report. This report integrates with the remote sensing project.
