== Water Quality and the Environment == 

 Humans, fish, and wildlife depend on the rich ecology of the lake habitat.  The complex ecosystem is subject to contamination of the watershed, largely by storm water runoff.  The Keuka Lake Association (KLA) monitors the water of the lake to ensure that it is suitable for its many uses, such as drinking, fishing, and swimming.  Tributary streams, groundwater, and the lake itself are regularly tested for water quality.  Additionally, KLA collects and publishes data about the lake level.
