Abstract

Through assessing the quality of Halls Lake, we hope to develop a more thorough understanding of its health. We further hope to contribute to baseline data that can be used for long term studies and assessment of Halls Lake by the HHLPOA. While this lake has been sampled in previous years, there is currently not enough data to draw conclusions on any trends in water quality. Therefore, the goal of this study is not only to assess current water quality health, but to add to lake data so that trends and conclusions can be made in the future.
