Project Overview

Lake of the Woods Watershed Assessment will include the tributary waters of Zippel, Williams and Bostic Creeks in Lake of the Woods (LOW) County. This assessment focuses on collection of water chemistry and field parameters at three key sites identified by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and field parameters only at one site identified by LOW SWCD. Two of the sites will have extra phosphorus and chlorophyll analysis completed as identified by the MPCA for collecting river nutrients. This project will support the biological data collected by MPCA and will establish what these surface waters contribute to Lake of the Woods.
