These are 2 sites that are useful in determining
if water contact (such as windsurfing) is a good idea at a particular body of
water. Not all lakes are monitored, but I usually assume a lake like Cunningham
Lake in Omaha should have levels close to that of a similar lake like Wherspan
lake (Chalco Hills Rec area). This assumption could be reasonable for toxic
blue-green algae but not E. coli. (via Matt V email) Nebraska - http://www.deq.state.ne.us/Beaches.nsf/LakeSampling11 Iowa - http://www.igsb.uiowa.edu/wqm/Beaches/BeachMapState.htm |
