Wentworth Watershed’s water quality reports are generated annually by the New Hampshire Lakes Lay Monitoring Program. The New Hampshire Lakes Lay Monitoring (LLMP) is dedicated to the preservation and sound management of lakes through citizen-based monitoring and research. The LLMP began at the University of New Hampshire over two decades ago as one of the first citizen monitoring programs. It has been directly involved in initiating and expanding volunteer programs in 24 states and 11 countries. Through its integration of research, outreach, and teaching, the LLMP provides valuable data on the lakes of New Hampshire, broad community service, and a unique opportunity for hands-on learning and employment of students. The program continues to receive local and national recognition as one of the leading lake monitoring programs in the country. The LLMP is administered jointly through the Cooperative Extension and the Center for Freshwater Biology at the University of New Hampshire.
