SUMMARY:
In this landmark local investigation, the nutrient dynamics that affect the ecosystem health of selected lakes in the Province of Laguna will be investigated. The findings will be useful in developing integrated approaches to lake recovery from eutrophication and aquatic resource conservation. Policies and innovative strategies for the reduction of nutrient enrichment can then be developed. The science-based outcomes of this study will contribute to the long-term sustainability of the natural resources of lakes in the country.
OBJECTIVE:
To determine nutrient dynamics in lake systems based on internal nutrient loading from sediment that contribute to the eutrophication of lakes in the Philippines.
