Clean Lakes Alliance is kicking off its 11th season of monitoring the Greater Madison lakes. Starting on Thursday, June 23, lake users will once again have more information about how to find the best spots when planning a visit. Water quality volunteer monitors will measure clarity for the first time this season and upload their data to LakeForecast.
In addition to water clarity, each water quality monitor takes temperature readings and can upload any visual water issues, including cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) blooms, observed at their monitored site. LakeForecast also includes beach-closure notifications posted by Public Health Madison & Dane County and Wisconsin State Parks.
