Lakes of Missouri Volunteer Program A communitybased water monitoring program based around the 25 Missouri Lakes, with a strong emphasis on educating the people about lake ecology and water quality. The LMVP was created in 1992 and began with four lakes in the Kansas City area. Since then about 200 volunteers have participated and water samples have been collected on over 50 different lakes around the state. Many lakes have several sample sites. Table Rock Lake, for example, currently has 18 sample sites.The goals of the LMVP are: 1 to determine the current water quality based on productivity or trophic state of Missouris lakes, 2 to monitor for changes in water quality over time, and 3 to educate the public about lake ecology and water quality issues.
