Anderson County Lake Quality
South Carolina, 4 lakes, measured by SCDHEC
Anderson County holds 4 monitored lakes. With a sample that small the county-level summary describes those specific waters, not necessarily every water body in the county. The 4 monitored lakes in Anderson County carry whatever clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a readings SCDHEC 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.
