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.
