You know you have elevated phosphorus levels in your lake, but how do you know where it is coming from? And more importantly, how do you determine the most effective way to spend your time and money to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lake? The Watershed Treatment Model (WTM) can help answer these questions. The WTM is a free tool to help you compare all the many sources of phosphorus to determine which are the most significant in your unique watershed. It can be used to analyze proposals for reducing phosphorus to see which will have a substantial impact.

If you are interested in learning to use the WTM, plan to attend one of the four training sessions in central Minnesota in June. Exact locations and dates will be announced soon. Contact Ann Lewandowski (612-624- 6765, alewand@umn.edu) for schedule information.
