Stroms Bridge Chlorophyll-a

Chlorophyll-a is a measurement of algal concentration in the water. Algae grows better in calm water than flowing water, so the chlorophyll-a concentration in Pelican River is relatively low compared to Little Pelican Lake. more information on Chlorophyll-a

Chlorophyll-a is measured at Stroms Bridge to get an idea of what is flowing into Big Pelican Lake from Little Pelican Lake. Chlorophyll-a levels appear to be somewhat stable historically. The concentrations at Stroms Bridge are similar to the concentrations in Little Pelican Lake since the water from Little Pelican Lake flows under Stroms Bridge (see Little Pelican Lake).
