Kiowa County Lake Quality
Kansas, 1 lake, measured by KDHE
Kiowa County has 1 monitored lake — a thin enough sample that one or two stressed lakes can move the county average noticeably. Use the per-lake pages below for what actually matters. The 1 monitored lake in Kiowa County carries whatever clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a readings KDHE has published, shown as reported.
Most of the county's monitored lakes are shallow, under 50 feet, which means wind keeps the water column mixed all summer and sediment-bound phosphorus releases back into the surface layer whenever the bottom is disturbed.
