Decaying Lakes Origins and Control of Eutrophication - Principles and Techniques in the Environmental Sciences Author:B. Henderson-Sellers, H. Markland A comprehensive introduction to eutrophication, the process by which the water quality of lakes deteriorates as a result of their increased levels of nutrients.
