Outgoing DNR director comments on Lake Delhi flooding-related pollution
September 1, 2010

The failure of the Lake Delhi dam on the Maquoketa River has pushed a lot of sediment downstream, and the outgoing director of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources calls the pollution -- largely made of silt that's being washed downstream by the new current -- "atrocious", according to the Des Moines Register. A report in the Waterloo Courier says that biologists worry that fish species could disappear from the river because of the dramatic change in the water habitat.

One common measure of water quality is turbidity, which essentially serves as a test of the clarity of the water. Sites looking to measure turbidity with a trouble-free, reliable automatic system should consider the ATI turbidity monitor. Please feel free to contact us with your questions.
