The 20 Most Sampled LMVP Lake Sites

We tell anyone who will listen that the more water quality data we have the more powerful it becomes. To summarize the highly variable water quality parameters we measure, we need several years of data. To statistically confirm a trend of increasing or decreasing water quality, we need many years of data.
Sampling consistently for a long time means lots of samples (table to the right). Of the 20 LMVP sites where the most samples have been collected, 13 had volunteers collecting samples in 1992, the year the LMVP began. Two sites on the list, Table Rock Site 9 and Weatherby, are still monitored by the original volunteers. Way to go Lee, Candi and Armand!

The table below shows data from 1992 through 2007. Data from 2008 are not included.
