Burton Lake Total Suspended Solids

TSS is a measure of suspended particles in water. These particles can be soil from erosion and/or algae. High TSS corresponds with low water transparency and clarity.

Monitoring was started at this site in 2005. The TSS concentration ranges from 0.5-5 mg/L, which is relatively low compared with Spring Creek ( 1 to 17 mg/L ). The TSS at the Burton Lake outlet is probably so low because it is a lake outlet and the water is diluted.
