N/A

Descripción:

Oligotrophic lakes typically receive most of their water from groundwater or from small groundwater-fed streams that carry little nutrient-rich runoff. As a result, the water is usually clear and relatively low in nutrients.

Both submersed and emergent aquatic vegetation are characteristic features of these lakes.

Example Location

Lake Panasoffkee (Citrus County)
