You can also see the water quality measurements at http://winnipesaukeegateway.org/moni...ing-sites-map/

As a water tester for 7 years, my opinion is that the water quality is improving. Some of that is due to dry weather, but I think public education and shoreline protection laws are slowly having an impact.
Were you testing yesterday—Sunday, August 5th, 2018?

Off my dock, normally, I could see a penny on the bottom in ten feet of water. Yesterday, even with a reduced lake, I couldn't see any features on the bottom!

While out sailing, I saw the perfect icon for Lake Winnipesaukee's erosion problem. It is a three-foot diameter tree sitting on a small rock at water level. It couldn't have possibly grown from under the water's surface. This entire shoreline, including mine, is creeping into the lake!

Erosion is a fact, and the cause is Winnipesaukee's over-sized boats.
