What it can and can't tell you

Every reading and observation shows the date it was collected. Field values are made by you or your members, at the place and time recorded, and depend on the instrument, the observer, light, weather, and technique. They are not laboratory analyses. Observations, such as Lake Tag presses or microscope sightings, are reports, not verified identifications. Lake Pulse records what is submitted; it does not independently verify each entry. Results can help you make decisions about safe swimming and water use, but no result is definitive for every place and time. It is always good practice to check posted signs and your state or local health authorities.
