Overview

Basics
Lake Tahoe’s nearshore water quality including algal growth is intimately tied to the internal dynamics within the lake (e.g. mixing and grazing by animals) and the supply of nutrients from the streams and groundwater entering the lake from the watershed. Our goals are to understand the linkage between the watershed and streams to the nearshore algal growth in Lake Tahoe. We will evaluate these linkages and monitor the water quality of the nearshore habitat by placing water quality sensors measuring temperature and oxygen at the outfalls of streams flowing into Lake Tahoe.
