Water Data Reports

The Beginning of Cyanobacteria Monitoring at Nippo

One of the worst blooms of cyanobacteria occurred in 2013 (shown to the right).  Residents were unable to use the lake in any capacity.  This was the catalyst for many to begin working toward purifying Nippo Lake, which meant looking for the best help New Hampshire could offer.
The first in a long list of collaborators, Nippo Lake Association (NLA) approached the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) to begin figuring out how to save the lake and bring it back to it's pristine origins.  On September 10, 2015 the NLA documented the phosphurus loading in Nippo as the main culprit of the blooms.

     This lead to a separate NHDES summary in 2016,  which supported that the major factor in cyano-blooms was the increased level of phosphorus in the water column.  The data collection for this summary led to a collaboration with the University of New Hampshire's Lakes Lay Monitoring Program.  The combined forces of NHDES and UNH led to the development of Nippo Lake Association's plan of action to combat the blooms.
