Project Title: Climate Impacts on Nitrogen Gas Release from Lakes

Category: B. Water Resources

Summary: Nitrogen pollution enters lakes and microbes convert some of it to a nitrogen-based greenhouse gas. We will estimate nitrogen emissions in lakes statewide and guide management to enhance nitrogen removal.

Total Project Budget: $ 452,000
Proposed Project Time Period for the Funding Requested: June 30, 2023 (3 yrs)
