Eutrophication, Management and Sustainable Development of Urban Lakes: General Considerations and Specific Solutions for Alte Donau – A Synthesis
The Alte Donau: Successful Restoration and Sustainable Management, 2018
Intensively used urban water bodies are vulnerable to eutrophication. The shallow lake Alte Donau... more Intensively used urban water bodies are vulnerable to eutrophication. The shallow lake Alte Donau (Vienna) can be seen as an example for the extent of anthropogenic influence. Human impacts paired with changes in environmental conditions gave way to eutrophication processes in Alte Donau. Due to the great public interest restoration concepts and subsequently management programs were established. This chapter provides a synthesis of the key aspects to evolve and implement a successful water management plan. An attempt is made to generalise our specific solutions to serve as a basis for the development of similar strategies for other urban lakes.
