The Alte Donau: Successful Restoration and Sustainable Management An Ecosystem Case Study of a Shallow Urban Lake

The Alte Donau: Successful Restoration and Sustainable Management An Ecosystem Case Study of a Shallow Urban Lake / edited by Martin T. Dokulil, Karl Donabaum, Katrin Teubner.

Here we report on a 25-year long-term sequence of measures to return a deteriorated recreational urban lake, Alte Donau in Vienna to acceptable water quality. Metropolitan waters require focused ecosystem management plans and intensive in-lake efforts. We explored physico-chemical conditions, food w...
