Use Extreme Caution : 197.7' | What is this?
This is the current water level of Lake Lillinonah. Our safety indicator should be used as a guideline only; higher lake elevations cause more floating debris. Always use caution and watch out for floating debris when navigating Lake Lillinonah.
Safest: below 194'
Debris presence unlikely - safe for recreational use.
Caution: 194' to 195'
Debris possibly present - caution advised.
Use Extreme Caution: above 195'
Debris likely present - dangerous.

| Wind direction (degrees) | 350° |
| Wind Speed Higher wind speed increases dissolved oxygen (and pushes debris to the shores) | 0.089 m/h |
| AirTemp Warm air warms the water, which encourages algae growth | 61.9°F |
| Relative Humidity | 91.7 |
| Barometric PRessure Higher pressure is generally associated with clear weather | 1010 |
| Rain (15 Minutes) (mm) More rain yields more flow, and can introduce more nutrients to the water | 0 |
| Sunlight (umolsm2) Sunlight encourages algae growth | -0.134 |
| Water Level (ft) Water levels above 195' contribute to debris floating into the lake. Use caution at any level. | 197.7' |

| DO bottom DO readings are generally lower in lake bottoms, due to decomposition of organic matter and lack of air contact. | 7.16 |
| Bottom Temp Cooler water at the bottom of the lake indicates stratification of water levels | 58.7°F |
| Surface Temp Warm water encourages algae growth | 67.3°F |
| Sp Cond Measures the presence of salt in the water; in our case the result of point- and non-point sources of pollution. | 269.0000 |
| pH Measures the concentration of Hydrogen ions; affected by pollutants and natural processes. pH determines the solubulity of chemicals, and affects the toxicity of the water. | 8.22 |
| DO surface Readings above 6 are healthy for fish; between 5 and six indicate moderate impairment; below 5 indicate severe impairment and mortality. | 9.63 |
