Clear Lake water quality monitoring data from 2019 to 2023 by the University of California, Davis
A major barrier to effective water quality restoration at Clear Lake is the absence of quantitative data on the anticipated response to restoration projects. In-lake monitoring (in-situ measurements) is needed to understand better the processes contributing to poor water quality. This data package contains the in-situ measurements collected by the University of California, Davis at Clear Lake between 2019 and 2023, which include: continous stream properties at three locations (Middle, Scott, and Kelsey Creeks); continuous meteorological variables at seven locations around the perimeter of the lake; continuous lake temperature and dissolved oxygen at multiple depths and locations across the lake (six permanent water quality stations); continuous lake surface temperature in the shoreline; and discreate samples to measure nutrient concentrations and phytoplankton biovolumes and species identification throughout the water column and across all three lake basins every 6-8 weeks.
Data and R code for long-term study of fire and climate effects on water quality in Clear Lake, California
<p>Long-term relationships between water quality, fire and climate for Clear Lake, California. Although the watershed has historically experienced frequent fire, the 2018 Mendocino Complex, which was the largest wildfire complex in state history, burned approximately 40% of the watershed, sparking concerns about drinking water quality and lake ecosystem health. This analysis spans approximately 1968-2021.</p>
Historic and recent trends of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms and environmental conditions in Clear Lake, California: a 70-year perspective
<p><span>Clear Lake is the largest, natural lake in northern California, USA with many beneficial uses but also substantive environmental issues. The lake has a long history of water quality problems including mercury contamination, pesticide usage, invasive species, and high rates of primary production. In recent years, an increase in cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) have been documented in the lake, adding to the environmental issues faced by aquatic species present in the lake, and the local community. Extensive observations of various physical, chemical, and biological parameters in Clear Lake began in the mid-1900s. The most pertinent of these datasets and findings have been reviewed and analyzed with the intent of improving our understanding of the causes and drivers of cyanoHABs, toxin production, and identifying data gaps. The findings are published in Smith et al. (2023) at DOI: </span><a href="https://doi.org/10.1525/elementa.2022.00115"><span>https://doi.org/10.1525/elementa.2022.00115</span></a><span> </span><span>Funding for this work, including data acquisition, database assembly and manuscript preparation was provided by the Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians Environmental Protection Agency and the Elem Indian Colony Environmental Protection Agency.</span></p> <p><span>The dataset assembled as a part of Smith et al. (2023) is posted here. It is the master database of 50 lake and climatological parameters (~217,000 individual data points) from the period of 1920 to mid-2020 of environmental parameters within and surrounding the lake. This database and analysis builds upon the efforts of the Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians Environmental Protection Agency to identify the Clear Lake monitoring entities and assemble the available water quality data. More information about this effort, as well as data visualizations can be found here: </span><a href="https://www.bvrancheria.com/water-quality-dashboard"><span>https://www.bvrancheria.com/water-quality-dashboard</span></a><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 2014, two Tribal Nations, the Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians, and the Elem Indian Colony, developed the Clear Lake Cyanobacteria Monitoring Program (</span><a href="https://www.bvrancheria.com/clearlakecyanotoxins"><span>https://www.bvrancheria.com/clearlakecyanotoxins</span></a><span>) which includes water quality parameters along with cyanobacterial-specific parameters such as cyanotoxins, phycocyanin, and cyanobacterial genera identifications via microscopy. The vast majority of available cyanotoxin data, which are presented in this database, resulted from these efforts.</span></p> <p><span>Basic climatological and hydrologic data have been collected near and around Clear Lake as early as the 1910s by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Multiple agencies have conducted both routine and intermittent monitoring of chemical and physical parameters on Clear Lake since the 1950s, although routine and consistent collection of biological monitoring data began more recently within the last two decades. The California Department of Water Resources, the California State Water Resource Control Board, and Lake County Vector Control District have monitored several water quality parameters beginning in the 1950s. </span></p>
