Purpose and Introduction November 2015 WRAC presentation focused on phosphorus water quality conditions 1. Comments on phosphorus slides resulted in refined presentation posted to WRAC Meetings website (11/5/15 Meeting Date) 2. Questions about nitrogen to and from Lake Okeechobee and in Estuary watersheds resulted in today’s presentation, including: • Average annual TN levels WY2011-2015 • Percent contribution of water and nitrogen from each sub-watershed relative to the watershed
