Surface Water Characteristics Of The Weaber Plain And Lower Keep River Catchments: Data Review And Preliminary Results, D L. Bennett, Richard J. George Dr

Resource management technical reports

In 2008, the Ord Irrigation Expansion Project was approved by the Western Australian Government to develop irrigated agriculture on the Weaber Plain.

An important concern is the effect the Weaber Plain agricultural development may have on the water quality of the downstream Border Creek and Keep River

This report assembles and reviews all available physico-chemical water quality data for the lower Keep River and Border Creek systems and presents data from the initial year of a targeted baseline monitoring program (June 2010 – June 2013).

Judy Reservoir Monitoring Project 2011 Final Report, Robin A. Matthews, Joan Vandersypen

Judy Reservoir

The purpose of this study was to identify and count the phytoplankton and measure chlorophyll, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus levels in water samples collected from Judy Reservoir. Water quality and algal data have been collected on a weekly basis since October 2006; annual reports have been sent to the Skagit Public Utility District No. 1 in 2007, 2008, and 2010 (January and December).

Lake Samish Water Monitoring Project 2011b Final Report, Robin A. Matthews, Joan Vandersypen

Lake Samish

Lake Samish is a valuable aquatic resource, providing public access for boating, fishing, swimming, picnicking, and other water and lakeshore activities. Residents around the lake enjoy outstanding views of both the lake and its surrounding watershed, and the lake serves as a water supply for many of the lakeshore residents. Lake Samish is located in the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Water Resource Inventory Area #3 (WRIA 3), and discharges into Friday Creek, a salmon spawning tributary of the Samish River.

Lake Samish experiences periodic algal blooms, including blooms of potentially toxic cyanobacteria. The major goal of the monitoring project …

Reed Lake Water Quality Monitoring Project January - June 2011 Final Report, Maggie Taylor

Reed Lake

Reed Lake is located east of Highway 20 near Alger (WA) on the border of What- com and Skagit Counties. At the western tip of Reed Lake a concrete dam con- trols water flow into Cain Lake. Both lakes are surrounded by communities that have grown rapidly in the last few decades. Development extends to the shoreline around the entire perimeter of Reed Lake, with several boat launches and private docks. Residents around both lakes rely on individual septic systems for waste- water treatment. Recreation on the lake includes boating, swimming, and fishing for annually stocked rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). …
