Piney Z Lake
Teagan K.
Teagan’s Marvelous Narrative The name “Piney-Z” comes from the large quantity of pine trees in the area, and the Z-shaped land configuration. The people of Tallahassee are spending lots of money trying to fix a decades-old problem in the Lake Lafayette area, including Lake Piney-Z. Karst topography is the connection of the Florida aquifer with the sinkholes, springs, and rivers in Florida. The flow of water is as follows: sinkhole >> aquifer >>
spring or river on surface Water Quality attributes:
Eutrophication (nutrient enrichment) is a pollution problem that Lake Piney-Z is facing. The use of lawn fertilizers is causing the waters to have more and more nutrients in it. This, like having a phosphate level that is too high, will cause the population of living things in the lake area to skyrocket. ***
