LAKE MONITORING PROGRAM
The Kings County Lake Monitoring Program is an important component of the Municipalitys efforts to preserve and protect its fresh water lakes on the South Mountain Plateau. Volunteers and Municipal staff have collected lake water samples since 1997, and have compiled an extensive database on lake water quality.
From May to October dedicated volunteers set out once a month to collect water samples, record water temperatures and take water transparency readings using a Secchi Disk. A total of 13 lakes are monitored.
