Modeling and Managing Shallow Lake Eutrophication -- With Application to Lake Balaton

Shallow lake eutrophication has received less attention than deep lake eutrophication, yet it is a problem far from being solved. Unlike other books on the subject, usually approaching the field from a disciplinary level, this book offers an approach to harmonize scientific research and the needs of practical management. New and original contributions in the fields of hydrodynamics, phytoplankton dynamics, water-sediment interaction, nutrient load dynamics, as well as modeling techniques are integrated in a model-based framework of aggregating the pertinent scientific information for use on the management level. Preservation of what is really important including the handling of uncertainties is a major feature of the approach developed in this book.
