Plateau Lake Water Quality and Eutrophication: Status and Challenges

Measures and Policies against the Eutrophication for Lake Water Quality in Japan

Lakes and marshes are valuable water resources and natural environments for the human beings, it is necessary to preserve and improve their water quality. Since experiencing severe pollution problems during the 1950s and 1960s, Japan has been strengthening its environmental policy. Regulations over the quality of water were enforced under the Water Pollution Control Law, resulting in the succes...

Implementing Effects-Based Water Quality Criteria for Eutrophication in Beaver Lake, Arkansas: Linking Standard Development and Assessment Methodology.

To address water quality standards needed to prevent accelerated eutrophication, many states in the United States have developed effects-based standards related to nutrients. In many cases, this has resulted in specific standards for Secchi transparency (ST) and phytoplankton biomass measured as sestonic chlorophyll (chl-). The state of Arkansas recently adopted its first effects-based water qu...
