Craig,
With the discovery of zebra mussels in Melvern and other bodies of water it got me to wondering. Does the KDWP actively monitor each body of water for ANS per given time period or is the water only tested if there is a report of ANS in a particular body of water? I know with zebra mussels you can detect them microscopically but with other ANS such as Asian Carp and Eurasian Watermilfoil I wonder if they can be detected at the microscopic level.

The reason I ask is I wonder how long these ANS are in the waters before the public knows to take precautions against the spread. Obviously in a perfect world everyone would clean, drain and dry before ever entering another body of water but I don't see that happening in today's society.
