The purpose of this review was to re-examine in detail the limnological data for Skaha Lake. The work was done at the request of the Okanagan Basin Implementation Program to update the Truscott and Kelso (1979) report in the light of the additional data collected since 1978. Poor water quality (blue-green algal blooms, poor water clarity) in the late 1960'sprompted tertiary treatment of the City of Penticton's sewage effluent which discharges into Skaha Lake via the Okanagan River. limnology, water quality, biological water quality |
