Lake observations: Ducks, geese, turtles, and fish swimming in the fishbowl where I sample. The lake level appears to be between one and two feet below normal. The dissolved oxygen is higher than I expected for this time of the year, but that is a good thing. Also, the pH is around what I traditionally get: 8.3. We had.22 inches of rain four days ago on 9/8/2021. The lake water seems to be suitable for this time of the year!
