Abstract
Current environmental conditions in Georgetown Lake are being quantified to examine long term trends and to provide a baseline for future reference. Preliminary findings on nutrients, dissolved oxygen, macrophyte coverage, phytoplankton composition and abundance, and water clarity will be presented. Analysis of historic dissolved oxygen data collected by Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks indicates that late winter oxygen concentrations reach low levels and are decreasing through time.
