Citizen Statewide Lake Monitoring Assessment Program (CSLAP) Lakes

The dataset represents the lakes participating in the Citizen Statewide Lake Monitoring Assessment Program (CSLAP). CSLAP is a volunteer lake monitoring and education program that is managed by DEC and New York State Federation of Lake Associations (NYSFOLA). The data collected through the program is used to identify water quality issues, detect seasonal and long term patterns, and inform volunteers and lake residents about water quality conditions in their lake. The program has delivered high quality data to many DEC programs for over 25 years.The dataset catalogs CSLAP lake information; including: lake name, lake depth, public accessibility, trophic status, watershed area, elevation, lake area, water quality classification, county, town, CSLAP status, years sampled, and last year sampled.

该数据集收录了参与公民州级湖泊监测评估计划（Citizen Statewide Lake Monitoring Assessment Program，简称CSLAP）的湖泊信息。CSLAP是一项由纽约州环境保护厅（DEC）和纽约州湖泊协会联合会（NYSFOLA）管理的志愿者湖泊监测与教育项目。通过该项目收集的数据被用于识别水质问题、检测季节性和长期趋势，并向志愿者和湖泊居民通报其湖泊的水质状况。该计划已为DEC的众多项目提供了高质量的资料，历时超过25年。数据集详细记录了CSLAP湖泊信息，包括：湖泊名称、湖泊深度、公众可进入性、营养状态、流域面积、海拔高度、湖泊面积、水质分类、所在县、所在镇、CSLAP状态、采样年份以及上一年采样年份。
