Lake Okeechobee Conditions Report July 24, 2007:

 

According to the USACE web site, Lake Okeechobee stage is 9.09’ NGVD today which is 0.01’ lower than it was a week ago and 0.17’ higher than it was a month ago. Surface inflows are 1696 cfs. and surface outflows are not reported due to missing S77 and S308 data.

 

This month’s water quality sampling was limited to 7 pelagic sites and the data are not yet available.

 

 

An algal bloom was reported on the north end of the lake between Taylor Creek and Nubbin Slough on Sunday.  Rainfall induced nutrient rich inflows might stimulate more algal blooms, especially near major lake inflow sites.
