    North Shore Superior Lake and Stream Water Assessment


    Northshore Superior Periphyton Surveillance


    SWAG Superior Basin Lakes
    This project will generate physical and chemical water quality information for three lakes that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has included in their list of `targeted lakes` for assessment in the 2011 and 2012 field seasons. NRRI`s Center for Water and the Environment has a long-term interest in identifying status and trends that may reflect short and long-term trends in response to impacts at local, regional, and global scales such as urbanization, agriculture and forestry practices, invasive species introductions, atmospheric deposition, and climate change.
