1. Very low electrical conductivity is indicative of recent high flow rates from upstream (due to both rainfall and discharge from the Paynesville sewage greatment plant), with low influence from lake salimnity.
2. Very high phophorus concentration directly related to the discharge from the Paynesville sewage treatment plant; the level is high, even with recent rainfall.
