A survey of 452 eutrophic lakes was compiled based on responses from 40 states requesting information as to (a) Name, location, size, depth; (b) Description of the problem, including accounts of previous corrective treatments, if any; (c) Remedial action that might be appropriate; (d) A description of available background data, indicating whether sufficient data exists to document a change if rehabilitation were undertaken. Categories of the problems in the survey were: nuisance algal growth, nuisance aquatic vegetation, fishkills, bacterial contamination, toxic contamination, oil brines, unstable water levels, siltation, excessive dissolved solids, and unspecified eutrophic conditions. Sources contributing to these problems were classified in two general categories--concentrated sources and diffused sources. Indication is given, where available, whether progress has been made to eliminate the pollution source.
Madison is richly detailed, fully documented, inclusive in coverage, and has more than 300 illustrations to provide a vivid feeling of life in Madison during the formative years.
"Limnological Aspects of Recreational Lakes" considers the many problems associated with the recreational use of lakes, reservoirs, and ponds. These standing-water bodies receive the most concentrated and varied recreational use of any waters, and provide enjoyment to the greatest number of people. Individuals using such areas soon become aware of associated biological problems and often demand remedial measures to alleviate developing nuisances or the prevention of them before they arise. This book is written for the person faced with problems of interpretation and management in dealing with the phenomena of recreational lakes. In most States, a permit or permission must be obtained from an appropriate agency prior to the institution of controls. Then controls are instituted, the recommended controlling agent and its field application must be tempered with a scientist's astute knowledge of both the problem and the ecological ramifications of a control program.
