This study by the California Department of Water Resources utilizes pink dye to investigate the sporadic occurrences of harmful algal blooms in McLeod Lake.
Hazardous algal blooms can be toxic and have appeared in McLeod Lake in the past, prompting research into why they fluctuate year to year.
The temporary dye will help scientists understand water flow patterns, which could explain variations in algal growth and ensure safer water conditions.
Previous blooms in McLeod Lake led to health risks for humans and pets and prompted preventative measures like oxygenation systems to combat them.
