Lake Jackson Stormwater Study Lake Jackson Stormwater Study Lake Jackson is the site of a study to determine the where high levels of nutrient and roadway contaminants are entering the lake through stormwater runoff.
Preliminary results indicate large differences between the east and west side of the lake.
Contaminant levels are relatively low in the continuously flowing water entering the west side of the lake, though concentrations are higher than found in the lake. In contrast, contaminant levels are quite high in runoff water entering the east side of the lake, where flows only occur following storm events.
