Michigan's Lake Water Quality
A new survey by Michigan's DEQ shows that water quality in lakes in Michigan may be improving. During 2001-2005, 433 lake basins from 364 inland lakes with public access were monitored for baseline water quality conditions and trophic status, an indicator of primary biological productivity. Trophic evaluations based on the data collected for these lakes indicate nearly three-quarters are either mesotrophic or oligotrophic, which are typically perceived as very good to high quality lakes, and 22 percent are eutrophic.
