Managing Algae Problems is a practical guidance manual for lake associations and citizen managers. Together, Osgood and Gibbons have a century of experience. With an approach based on sound scientific research, they boil down a complicated topic in easy, understandable language and present simple decision criteria for those needing reliable advice for managing algae problems in lakes. The field of lake management has been tainted in recent years with algae management solutions high on promises, but short on outcomes. This book presents credible advice to get lake management started down the right path. Lake Advocates is dedicated to getting this information distributed widely, so we have produced a book that is easy to use, relevant, and affordable. The book is especially useful for lake managers, concerned lakeshore owners, lake association and water management boards.

Continuing concern about water supply and quality, ecosystem sustainability and restoration demands that the modern approach to the management of lakes and reservoirs should be based on a sound understanding of the application of the scientific and ecological principles that underlie freshwater processes. The Lakes Handbook provides an up-to-date overview of the application of ecologically sound approaches, methods and tools using experience gained around the world for an understanding of lakes and their management. Volume one of the Handbook addresses the physical and biological aspects of lakes pertinent to lake management, emphasising those aspects particularly relevant to large, still bodies of water. Volume two then considers lake management, with particular emphasis on sustainability, restoration and rehabilitation. This handbook will be invaluable to ecologists, environmental scientists, physical geographers and hydrologists involved in limnological research, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students looking for authoritative reviews of the key areas of limnological study.

Presents readers with an overview of lake management problems and the tools that can be applied to solve probelms. Lake management tools are presented in detail, including environmental technological methods, ecotechnological methods and the application of models to assess the best management strategy.
