Lowndes County Lake Quality
Mississippi, 5 lakes, measured by MDEQ

The county-level summary describes that subset, not every water body listed. Phosphorus and algae readings vary widely across Lowndes County; the per-lake pages below carry the numbers.
The county's lakes lean shallow, which makes the readings sensitive to wind, sediment-resuspension, and any nutrient inputs from the watershed. The cleanest measured lake is Alip Lake.
