CLMP
CLMP (Citizen Lake Monitoring Program) measures water clarity and temperature for lakes.
CSMP
CSMP (Citizen Stream Monitoring Program) measures the water clarity and temperature for creeks/streams.
CAMP
CLMP+
CAMP (Citizen Assisted Monitoring Program) measures the water nutrient, clarity, and temperature for lakes. (Rice Lake was only able to participate in this program from 2008-2011)
CLMP+ (Citizen Lake Monitoring Plus Program) expands the CLMP to include more nutrient data plus Dissolved Oxygen (DO) for lakes.
Rice Lake was only able to participate in this program for 2 years (2010-2011).
