Problem lakes in the United States
1971
Ketelle, Martha J. | Uttormark, Paul D.
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.
