		Overall, however, the P delivered to Lake Mendota is a tiny fraction of the total P buildup in the watershed’s soil.
		However, Bennett claims the purpose of the study was not to point fingers, rather to find where P originally comes from, "and it’s being brought in for agriculture." She and her colleagues were not looking for the source of water pollution, as that has previously been established as cropland.
		Lake Mendota is the most heavily used lake in Dane County, and the fifth most popular recreational lake in Wisconsin.

	Round the Lake Tour (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Nutrients and sediments washed into the lake from various human activities have since made the lake eutrophic (overly nutrient-rich), so that weeds are abundant and periodic algae blooms occur.
		Wetlands that once covered extensive areas around the lake have been filled in, drained, or were flooded when the lake level was raised with the 1849 construction of a dam at present-day Tenney Park.
		This low, flat area is lacustrine plain, the ancient lake bed of glacial Lake Yahara, which formed when glacial debris and ice blocked the Yahara River, raising water levels and flooding an area much larger than that covered by Lake Mendota today.

	YAHARA RIVER AND LAKE MENDOTA WATERSHED (LR09) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Mendota's shoreline development factor (DL), which assesses the degree of irregularity in the shoreline and hence the potential for biological diversity (Lathrop, 1992) and development, is 1.57, versus a DL for Lake Kegonsa of 1.21 (1.0 is the value when a lake is a perfect circle).
		Land use in the entire Lake Mendota watershed is comprised of 57.4 percent agriculture, 8.5 percent grassland/natural or wildlife areas, 1.4 percent woodlands, 20 percent developed, 5.7 percent wetland, and 6.9 percent open water.
		A major focus of the Lake Mendota Priority Watershed Project is on sediment and phosphorus reductions from agricultural and urban sources, stormwater management, groundwater and wetland protection, and public education.

	Fertilizer run-off threatens long-term balance of lakes
		A doctoral student of limnology, after much research, has concluded that the problem for Mendota is that what goes into the lake isn't necessarily coming out: phosphorus accumulates in the watershed's soil every year.
		The problem for Mendota, and for most watersheds in agricultural settings, is that what goes into the watershed isn't necessarily coming out.
		The lake also underwent a major experiment in the late 1980s called biomanipulation, which attempted to improve water quality by stocking millions of predator fish.

		The Lake Mendota watershed is located in Dane and Columbia Counties, in the lower central part of Wisconsin.
		Lake Mendota, a 10,000-acre glacier lake, is intensively used for recreational purposes.
		Most of the lake’s water quality problems are linked to current and past rural and urban runoff carrying sediment, nutrients and toxins.

		A Madison Mendota Marathon (3M, as it were) would really be cool if we could pull it off.
		However, if the grooming were done more consistently on the lake surface for many weeks, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
		A network of snow fencing may be needed to control blowing snow (and maybe collect some show drifts for the grooming machine to scavenge back onto the course).
