FONTANA LAKE REFLECTION

Conclusions by Data Analysis: Fontana Lake

The area of Fontana Lake was pretty much all a man-made dam that provides energy for many areas around it, like the houses that were on the other side of the water. The parts that were untouched or hardly impacted by humans were very rocky and sandy with a normal amount of wildlife. There were many amphibians such turtles, frogs, etc. because of the equality of the land and water. The water seemed to be very clean which was surprising to me because of all the people who take their boats out on the water. I was expecting to see an enormous amount of trash and pollution but I barely saw any. This goes to show that the people who created this dam and who work out on the water are respectful to the environment.
