WWAC Hosts NHDES Presentation on Water Quality

On October 12, 2022, the Waukewan Watershed Advisory Committee hosted a presentation by Sara Steiner, Coordinator of the NHDES Volunteer Lake Assessment Program (VLAP).  Lake Waukewan is the water supply of the Town of Meredith. Although water quality is generally good, Sara did identify several areas of concern including a multi-year increase in surface-level (epilimnion) phosphorus in Lake Waukewan, significant phosphorus in the deepest level (hypolimnion), and increasing conductivity and chlorides in both the lake and tributaries.  CLICK HERE for a copy of the NH DES presentation.
