About this book

This USGS study examines changes in algal biomass and nitrate across Owasco and Seneca Lakes during the 2019 sampling season. It uses water-quality measurements and surveys to describe the distribution of these conditions over space and time.

Maps, profiles and statistical comparisons relate the observations to lake processes and the monitoring of harmful algal blooms. The report explains sampling methods, presents the findings and discusses their limitations. This complete publisher report preserves its original figures, references and links to associated project documents.
