Should your lake be a prime sport fishery — or a swimmer’s paradise? How do you decide? And how do you make it happen?
Find the answers in Managing Lakes and Reservoirs, a 400-page manual that answers all your questions on how to protect your lake or reservoir.

It’s both a textbook — and a citizens’ guide. Written by nine limnologists and lake professionals — with, collectively, more than 500 years experience working with lakes and reservoirs.

Learn —

• How to control algae
• Why you must manage the watershed along with the lake
• Why you might — or might not — want plants growing in your lake
• What phosphorus does to your lake
• How barley straw may help your lake
• How to use models to predict how water quality may change
• Why people are the most important part of lake management

And, the list goes on — for nine chapters and 400 pages — including sources of additional information.

Written and published by the Terrene Institute and the North American Lake Management Society in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
