Missouri reservoir water quality data from the Statewide Lake Assessment Program (SLAP), the Lakes of Missouri Volunteer Program (LMVP), and the Reservoir Observer Student Scientists (ROSS) program
This dataset of limnological water quality data continues from Jones et al., 2024, starting in 2017 until 2021. It is from 195 reservoirs, the majority of which are in the state of Missouri (MO) in the USA collected by the University of Missouri Limnology Lab. Water quality parameters analyzed in the MU Limnology Lab during this time frame include: areal pigment absorption coefficient, alkalinity, alpha (light utilization efficiency P-E parameter), ammonium (NH4), ammonium-debt, anatoxin, chlorophyll a (corrected and uncorrected for pheophytins), chloride, cylindrospermopsin, seston d13C, seston d15N, dissolved turbidity, dissolved organic carbon, Ek (light saturation P-E parameter), FVFM (maximum quantum yield of PSII for photochemistry), gross primary production, microcystin, nitrate & nitrite (NO3), nitrate-debt, particulate nitrogen, particulate phosphorus, phosphorus-debt, pheophytin, particulate carbon, particulate inorganic matter, particulate organic matter, phycocyanin (PHYCO), saxitoxin, Secchi disk depth, silica, soluble reactive phosphorus, total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), total dissolved phosphorus (TDP), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), total suspended solids (TSS), and urea. Most of the samples were collected during the summer months (May-September) when the reservoirs were thermally stratified, but a few were taken during the rest of the year (October-April). The majority of samples were taken at the deepest point in the reservoir directly up-reservoir of the dam. Sampling was conducted from a boat most of the time, but a few samples were taken from shorelines and drinking water treatment intake pipes. Most of the data come from the Statewide Lake Assessment Project (SLAP) and the Lakes of Missouri Volunteer Program (LMVP) funded by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. This data represents duplicate or triplicate water samples collected from either the water surface, integrated over the depth of the epilimnion, or from discrete dep
Lakes of Missouri Volunteer Program (LMVP) and University of Missouri: Missouri Statewide Lake Assessment Data (MO-SLAP), 1978-2013
The Lakes of Missouri Volunteer Program (LMVP) is funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and coordinated by the School of Natural Resources at the University of Missouri. It was created in 1992 and began with four lakes in the Kansas City area. Since then about 200 volunteers have participated and water samples have been collected on over 50 different lakes around the state. The goals of the LMVP are: 1) to determine the current water quality based on productivity or trophic state of Missouri's lakes, 2) to monitor for changes in water quality over time, and 3) to educate the public about lake ecology and water quality issues. Volunteers take water samples to measure algae, nitrogen, phosphorus, inorganic suspended solids, and measure Secchi transparency in the field. Many lakes have several sample sites. The water samples are analyzed at the University of Missouri-Columbia, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife limnology laboratory. An annual data report is compiled containing the results of the data from all of the public lakes. This report is sent to all interested parties including the volunteers, government agencies and lake associations. The process starts in the spring when an LMVP staff and volunteer meet at the lake. The volunteer is given all of the equipment and trained by the staff on the proper collection and processing procedures.

NH Department of Environmental Studies (NHDES): Watershed Management Bureau Volunteer Lakes Assessment Program Lake Sunapee, 1986-2012
Data on Lake Sunapee were compiled by Kathleen Weathers’ Lab, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies. Data were collected by Lake Sunapee Protective Association (LSPA) and analyzed by NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES). LSPA has been concerned with water quality since its founding in 1898, when the issues were sawdust and trash in the lake and the level of the lake water. In the 1950’s LSPA collected water samples and tested for E.coli in order to have Lake Sunapee meet the standards to be named a class A (drinking water quality) lake in New Hampshire. Starting in the 1980’s, LSPA volunteer water quality monitors have been regularly sampling Lake Sunapee’s water in cove and deep sites in Lake Sunapee, and more recently in its tributary streams. The samples are analyzed in LSPA’s Water Quality Laboratory at Colby-Sawyer College; NH Department of Environmental Services provides an annual water quality report based on its analysis of the data as part of the VLAP (Volunteer Lake Assessment) Program. The LSPA lab at Colby-Sawyer College, run by Bonnie Lewis under strict quality standards as a sister lab to the state lab at NH Department of Environmental Services, also processes water samples for about twenty five area lakes.
New Hampshire Volunteer Lake Assessment Program 1985-2010
The New Hampshire Volunteer Lake Assessment Program was initiated in 1985 in response to an expressed desire of lake associations to be involved in lake protection and watershed management. VLAP is a cooperative program between volunteer monitors and the DES which leads to local awareness of land use and human practices that may be detrimental to lake quality and also empowers communities in their decision-making regarding lake management issues. The purpose of VLAP is to assess the chemical and biological characteristics of the lakes and ponds throughout the state to determine overall health of the system. Environmental results are measured by making comparisons to established means and ranges of water quality for the state of New Hampshire. See NH_STATION_REPORT for geographic and lake information
NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) Watershed Management Bureau Biology Section: Volunteer Lake Assessment Program (VLAP) Environmental Monitoring data, 1995-2014
The New Hampshire Volunteer Lake Assessment Program was initiated in 1985 in response to an expressed desire of lake associations to be involved in lake protection and watershed management. VLAP is a cooperative program between volunteer monitors and the DES which leads to local awareness of land use and human practices that may be detrimental to lake quality and also empowers communities in their decision-making regarding lake management issues. The three major partners are the NHDES Biology Section, numerous volunteer monitors located throughout the state, and the VLAP satellite laboratories. Sara Steiner, NHDES VLAP Coordinator (who reports directly to Jody Connor, the Limnology Center Director and VLAP Program Manager), has the overall responsibility for training the volunteer monitors throughout the state in sample collection and watershed monitoring, conducting annual site visits and training interns to conduct annual site visits. NHDES and the volunteer monitors will collect samples from their lake/pond and its watershed, and will then bring samples to the NHDES Limnology Center, the Lake Sunapee Region Laboratory at Colby Sawyer College in New London, or the Environmental Research Laboratory at Plymouth State University in Plymouth. The purpose of VLAP is to assess the chemical and biological characteristics of the lakes and ponds throughout the state to determine overall health of the system. Environmental results are measured by making comparisons to established means and ranges of water quality for the state of New Hampshire. Chemical, biological, and physical parameters are measured and compared to lakes throughout the state. This data is provided to NHDES and the volunteer monitors. The data is used by the NHDES for assessment, education, and reporting purposes. The data are used by the volunteer monitors for educational purposes and for guiding local lake management activities. Volunteers collect water at least once per month during the summer (June –
