They mentioned on the news the other night that one pound of phosphorus equals 500 pounds of algae. Which is why it's been <a href="http://www.danewaters.com/management/phosphorus.aspx" rel="nofollow">banned</a> in Dane County since 2005, but years of abuse and runoff from other sources still take their toll. Also, the hotter the weather, the greater the amount of algae. Last year was a <i>really</i> bad year for it.
