Interpret Your Data
The first place to start is your Georgia Adopt-A-Lake Manual (see "Getting Started" on how to obtain this manual).
In additon, explore the following web links:
- A fine introduction to the scientific study of lakes can be found at Understanding Lake Ecology from Water on the Web
- To better understand what your secchi depth, chlorophyll, or nutrient numbers mean for your lake, go to this explanation of Trophic State Index from The Great North American Secchi Dip-In
- To understand what and why one might measure that green stuff in lake water, go to What is chlorophyll?
- For numerous addition links on water quality, volunteer monitoring, environmental education, and building a watershed alliance, see the Georgia Adopt-A-Stream web page.
