Weekly Honeoye Lake Monitoring Program for 2004-2006

For the past three summers weekly monitoring at the deepest point (N42^o45’ W77^o30.5’) in the Honeoye Lake has been done. In addition, in 2003 Dr. Bruce Gilman also monitored this same location bi-weekly as part of a larger more extensive study. This monitoring included temperature (T) and dissolved oxygen (DO) profiles from the surface to the bottom. Water clarity was also measured using a Secchi disk. These measurements are important in understanding the lakes internal release of phosphorus that is largely responsible for late summer algae blooms. This report summarizes the results of this monitoring program.  (Click here for the Complete PDF Report)
