Long-term monitoring of water quality allows continued evaluation of lake management operations, effects of climatic variables, and evaluation of restoration activities in the watershed. Continued water quality monitoring by the Klamath Tribes will serve to document long term trends in water quality and allow for assessment of restoration activities as they are implemented to improve quality. Additionally, Klamath Tribes data is used by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to report on water quality and algal bloom conditions. These reports are distributed to Reclamation and its partners throughout the irrigation season to provide critically needed information on habitat conditions, which could potentially reduce sucker survival and lead to fish-kills each summer season. The measure of success will be determined by successful completion by the Tribes of the seasonal water quality sampling,...
