Water Quality (WQ) and Cyanobacteria Data

The Water Quality Committee maintains the current and historical WQ and cyanobacteria data collected by our volunteers. 

  • LACA's WQ data from 2017 through the present is available for public review at the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality's (DEQ) Virginia Data Explorer (VDE) website. While we prefer to direct users of our data to the VDE website, we can provide raw data files to government agencies, academia and civic organizations that request data for their research and analyses. 
  • LACA's WQ data before 2017 can be obtained by submitting a request to the Water Quality Project Officer.
Requests for LACA WQ data should be submitted to the Water Quality Project Officer at harry.looney@lakeannavirginia.org. Include full name, organization, email, phone number, data requested (parameters, dates, etc), a justification (how the data will be used) and if you would like approval to release the data to other agencies or in a formal report.

Cyanobacteria/Algae Data & Reports

LACA executes an annual cyanobacteria monitoring project. Cyanobacteria-specific data maintained by the Water Quality Committee are available by submitting an e-mail request to the Water Quality Project Officer.  Include full name, organization, email, phone number, data requested (parameters, dates, etc), a justification (how the data will be used) and if you would like approval to release the data to other agencies or in a formal report.

Private citizens are encouraged to submit reports of algae on the Virginia Department of Health website.  Click on this link to go to the online report page.  The LACA Water Quality committee would appreciate being informed of any algae reports that are submitted.  The Water Quality Project Officer can provide assistance on submitting algae reports.
