Below see the the IOWATER Watershed Sampling Report for Dickinson County for the years 2003 to 2008. The samples come from volunteers who monitor select sites on our Dickinson County water bodies. These monitoring sites were selected to provide the best data that tells us the overall quality of our water. The volunteers are dedicated and a great deal of thanks goes out to all who have helped in this endeavor.
This Assessment and Management Plan Executive Summary shows the water quality problems and possible methods to improve the water quality of Silver Lake in Dickinson County. This plan is easily viewed and printed from most computers.
