Saving the Lakes

摘要

Washington freshwater lakes had earlier been receiving nutrients and other pollutants that threatened their pristine condition and has placed several lakes on the verge of eutrophication. Significant developments have since occurred that have enabled significant progress in rehabilitating Washington freshwater lakes. Research studies had involved Liberty Lake, Lake Coeur d' Alene, Lake Washington, Lake Sammamish, Moses Lake, Long Lake, and Newman and Williams Lakes. Sewers and sewage-treatment plants are being constructed to intercept nutrients and other pollutants which formerly entered the lakes unchecked. This document covered separate reports on each of the major Washington lakes.
