2016-2017 Water Monitoring
Monitoring Our Lakes and Streams
Ten lakes and five stream sites in the Kettle River Watershed were monitored by local volunteers, our Conservation Corps Apprentice and the Carlton SWCD. The monitoring was funded by a Surface Water Assessment Grant (SWAG) through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The collected data will be used to assess the overall health of the watershed.
Lakes
Merwin, Bob, Kettle, Twentynine, Bear, Hanging Horn, Little Hanging Horn, Echo, Moose and Coffee lakes were monitored.
Rivers
The Kettle, Split Rock and Moose Horn Rivers were all monitored as part of this project.
