Practices for Eutrophic Shallow Lake Water Remediation and Restoration: A Critical Literature Review
Lake water has been impaired with nutrients due to the synergic action of human-made activities and climate change. This situation is increasing eutrophication around the globe faster than before, causing water degradation, loss of its uses, and water-associated economic and health effects. Following the Sustainable Development Goal 6, more precisely its target 6.6, nations are already behind schedule in protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems (i.e., rivers and lakes). As concerns with eutrophication are escalating, eutrophic water remediation practices are the keys for restoring those lake waters. Diverse methodologies have been investigated focusing on the nutrient that limit primary productivity (i.e., phosphorus), but few have been applied to in-lake eutrophic water remediation. Thus, the objective of this paper is to provide an overview and critical comments on approaches and practices for facing eutrophic lake water remediation. Information on the successful cases and possible challenges/difficulties in the peer-reviewed literature are presented. This should be useful for supporting further remediation project selection by the stakeholders involved. In summary, for a successful and durable restoration project, external nutrient inputs need to be managed, followed by holistic and region-specific methods to attenuate internal legacy nutrients that are continually released into the water column from the sediment. When aligned well with stakeholder participation and continuous monitoring, these tools are the keys to long-lasting water restoration.
