As I see the increase in population of geese around our lakes I can't help but wonder what effect their 4-6 pounds of daily waste have on water quality. I witness first hand the "mess" they make of my shoreline. They are eating and pooping machines.
Also, I am curious if lower water levels contribute to higher surface water temps. It seems that lower volume of water may allow higher water temps which would create a better environment for cyanobacteria.
