In an effort to improve reporting efficiency, maintain financial viability, and avoid unnecessary redundancies, the Adirondack Lake Assessment Program (ALAP) will move from producing an annual report to a five-year reporting cycle. During the interim years, the ALAP coordinators will provide a summary of the current year’s data to participating lakes.

For more information on ALAP and participating lakes please see the comprehensive report: Adirondack Lake Assessment Program 2018: a Citizen Science Lake Program in its 21st Year. This report, released in April of 2019, provides readers with the appropriate background information on interpreting lake data, a regional analysis of the water quality characteristics of Adirondack lakes, and a synthesis of current and historical water quality data for all participating lakes.
