What could be the impact of a rainstorm on a lake? Freshwater scientists know that storms can alter physical processes in lakes such as water flows from tributaries, mixing in the water column, sediment disturbance and water temperature.
How do you know if a lake is dirty?
Look for signs of poor water quality, such as algal blooms and dirty or turbid water. Do not swim in water that smells like rotten eggs or sewage. Avoid swimming near pipes that drain into lakes or streams.
