Lake Restoration

Lake restoration involves restoring a lake's natural health by addressing issues like excess nutrients, pollution, and invasive species that cause problems like algae blooms and oxygen depletion. Techniques include reducing nutrient input from agriculture and urban runoff, removing or controlling invasive species, and sometimes physically restoring the lake’s depth or shoreline. The goal is to improve water quality, support native aquatic life, and maintain the lake’s ecological balance. Restoring a lake helps ensure it remains a healthy habitat for wildlife, a recreational resource for people, and a vital part of the ecosystem.
