About The Page

This document is the results of a study performed by Michael Sexton and Ruby Swaikowski who are students of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The results were obtained as part of the Freshwater Ecology class offered by RPI every fall. The authors of this page are Jeremy Green and Michael Sexton. Jeremy is also currently a student of RPI. This document was developed as a term project for Environmental Engineering Systems, a course that Jeremy and Mike both took in the fall of 1995.

This document is designed to educate you on different types of lakes and their traits. It is also intended to show you what tests are necessary to perform on a lake to determine its nature and also teach you how to perform these tests yourself and show you their effectiveness.
