FIMLA Water Quality
The FIMLA Lake Stewardship Plan:
- Outlines a range of issues related to the water quality of the FIMLA lakes;
- Establishes baseline measurements of water quality for future comparisons;
- Provides recommendations that address what needs to be done to educate and raise awareness to maintain good water quality in our lakes; and
- Proposes a set of actions and initiatives to achieve these aims.
These proposals are set out in the tabbed panels below, together with some material to act as a starting point for these tasks.
