Limnotix Monitoring Platform
The private online portal included with every Living Waters lake and reservoir management program.
Your lake data in one secure portal
Limnotix is the lake monitoring software we use with every management client. Survey maps, water column profiles, lab results and service records are added to your account as each visit is completed.
Sign in at any time to check current conditions and compare them with past seasons. Board members or a property manager can be added to the account.
- MapsDepth, plants, bottom hardness and fish from each sonar survey.
- MonitoringDepth profiles from every visit, plus data from an optional monitoring buoy.
- Lab resultsWater and sediment results, each rated and explained.
- RecordsVisits, treatments, reports, photos and billing.
Dashboard
Lake health rating
The dashboard rates your lake on eight checks, scored the same way on every lake we manage, and states in one sentence what needs attention. Select any check to see the readings behind it.
- Good
- Moderate
- Concern
- Act now
- Water conditionsDissolved oxygen, temperature, pH and clarity. Is the water suitable for fish, and how clear is it?
- Nutrients and algaePhosphorus and cyanobacteria. Is the lake trending toward algae blooms?
- Swimming and plantsE. coli for recreational contact, and how much of the lake is plants or invasive species.
Sonar mapping
Survey maps for your lake
Each boat-mounted sonar survey produces depth, vegetation, bottom hardness and fish maps on satellite imagery, with the key figures beside each map.
Depth contours with surface area, volume, average depth and deepest point.
Where plants grow and how much of the water column they fill. Blue is open water. Green through red is denser growth.
Soft sediment, which holds the most nutrients, mapped separately from firm and rocky bottom.
Individual fish and schools recorded on the same boat pass, sorted by size and holding depth.
Water quality
Water column profiles
At each sample location we record temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and four other parameters every foot from the surface to the bottom.
Water temperature (top) and dissolved oxygen (bottom) through the season.
Each parameter plotted against depth for one visit and sample location.
Surface and bottom oxygen, temperature and pH over two weeks. The daily oxygen and pH cycle follows photosynthesis.
Laboratory results
Water and sediment testing
Samples go to a certified laboratory. Each result is listed by sample location and depth, with a rating and a plain explanation of what it means.
Water testing
Nutrients, chlorophyll a, E. coli and water chemistry, rated at each sample location and depth.
Sediment testing
Mobile phosphorus, which can be released when the bottom water loses oxygen, is reported separately from phosphorus that stays bound in the sediment.
Plants and algae
Species found in your lake
Every plant and algae species we identify is listed with a photo and how much was found. Each one opens a profile with identification notes, growth habits and its state listing.
Service records
