    Kansas Lake and Wetland Monitoring Program 2016 Annual Report

    KANSAS LAKE AND WETLAND MONITORING PROGRAM 2016 ANNUAL REPORT Division of Environment Bureau of Water Watershed Planning, Monitoring, and Assessment Section 1000 SW Jackson Street, Suite 420 Topeka, KS 66612 By G. Layne Knight December 15, 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) Lake and Wetland Monitoring Program surveyed the water quality conditions of 40 Kansas lakes and wetlands during 2016. Eight of the sampled waterbodies are large federal impoundments, ten are State Fishing Lakes (SFLs), eighteen are city and county lakes, three are federal wetland areas, and one is a state wetland area. In addition, a single sample was taken from Big Spring; a prominent water resource at Scott State Park. Of the 33 lakes and wetlands analyzed for chlorophyll concentrations, 74% exhibited trophic state conditions comparable to their previous period-of-record water quality conditions. Another 13% exhibited improved water quality conditions, compared to their previous period-of-record, as evidenced by a lowered lake trophic state. The remaining 13% exhibited degraded water quality, as evidenced by elevated lake trophic state conditions. Phosphorus was identified as the primary factor limiting phytoplankton growth in 50% of the lakes surveyed during 2016, nitrogen was identified as the primary limiting factor in about 20% of the lakes and wetlands, while five lakes (15%) were identified as primarily light limited due to higher inorganic turbidity. Two lakes were determined to be limited by hydrologic conditions and one lake had algal limitation due to extreme macrophyte densities. Limiting factors were unable to be determined for the remaining two lakes.
