Water Quality
Morrison Lake Water Quality update 2022
The Lake Partner Program which measures spring phosphorus levels and water clarity throughout the season continued in 2019. Our results continue to be relatively good news. Phosphorus at all 3 test locations is under 10ug/l putting us in the category of 69% of Muskoka’s lakes – low nutrient level. Above 10ug/l moves us into the medium nutrient group of 30% of Muskoka’s lakes. Our 2019 nutrient level was higher than 2017 and 2018 – obviously not a trend we can be proud of. The 10-year average has been increasing from 8.5 in 2015 to 9.0 in 2019. How do we improve this?
Our better than predicted impacts from COVID-19 in Canada have been primarily due to the personal behaviour of each citizen. The protection and potential enhancement of our water quality and environment is exactly the same – our individual behavior impacts the lake.
