The primary objective is to conduct an ambient water quality monitoring program focusing on the southern portion of Cayuga Lake to support long-term records of trophic state indicators, including concentrations of total phosphorus, soluble reactive phosphorus, chlorophyll-a, turbidity, and other measures of water quality. In addition to this water quality monitoring data set, the complete collection of annual reports is available online: http://hdl.handle.net/1813/8353chlorophyllnitrogennutrientsphosphorusenvironmental impactssurface water chemistryturbiditypHalkalinitySecchi depthlake source coolingCayuga Lake (New York)Cornell UniversityCayuga Lake Watershed NetworkLSCsoluble reactive phosphorusdataset
