Beauty beneath the blooms: What’s next for water quality in Lake Neatahwanta?
I grew up in Fulton, New York, and have seen firsthand the impacts on our local lake. Lake Neatahwanta is a 715-acre lake. The lake has faced pollution, water quality, and algae-bloom issues for decades.
I hope that by watching this video, viewers can better understand the driving factors of the eutrophication (or the presence of excessive nutrients) of the body of water, what has been done to try to revitalize it, as well as current hopes and plans to help get the waters quality, and toxic blue-green algae blooms under control.
