When is warm too warm for Lake Tahoe?
LAKE TAHOE — One of the United States' most iconic lakes almost saw record-breaking surface level temperatures as another heat wave hits Northern California.'Too warm, certainly in the case of Lake Tahoe , is when the temperature starts to accelerate the things we don't want in the lake,' said Geoff Schladow, UC Davis professor and former director of the Tahoe Environmental Research Center.
The Lahontan Water Quality Control Board tested the water at both beaches and said the results were non-detect for toxins associated with harmful algal blooms.'Algae that wash up on the beaches is something we don't want. It's also possible warmer temperatures allow for the potential growth of harmful algal blooms,' Schladow said.The results also said the advisory was lifted at El Dorado Beach and is safe for recreational use.
