There may be some water quality changes in Winnipesaukee. I'm just trying to keep focused on facts.

When I used "pristine" I meant it in the technical way, as used by University of New Hampshire Center For Freshwater Biology, in these two reports:

http://www.winnipesaukee.org/pdf/Mou...eport-2002.doc

Unfortunately the NH DES does not publish all their data online, they say this:

" Entire reports are generally not sent to individuals, but the data on a particular lake is sent upon request. The data is also put in a computer. A data summary for a particular lake, along with explanatory information, is available upon request.

Summary data for all the lakes surveyed in the program is available from DES's Public Information Office at 271-2975. The document title is Quality of New Hampshire Lakes and Ponds: A Layman's Guide, and the cost is $4.00."

It does publish it's volunteer data for Winnisquam here:
