Water quality in Buckeye Lake has declined over time, resulting in:
-
Summer algae blooms
-
Reduced clarity

-
Reduced aquatic vegetation/habitat
-
Low dissolved oxygen
-
Fish kills
Possible causes come from both the watershed and within the lake:
-
Urbanization
-
Historical land uses
-
Agricultural practices
-
Wind and wave action on the lake
-
Sedimentation
