L1625_T&FLOC.fm Page 1 Tuesday, April 5, 2005 1:54 PM Copyright © 2005 by Taylor & Francis Preface Environmental problems usually develop from the interactions of people, consumption, and resources. Increasing population, increasing consumption and limited resources exacerbate these problems. One concern that heads the list of critical problems is the availability of clean, fresh, surface water. It is the basis of the existence of human societies and economies. Fresh water is essential for many forms of life, is required by humans for drinking, agriculture, and most industrial processes, and plays a prominent role in our recreational activities. Since we completed the second edition of this book in 1992 (Cooke et al., 1993), hundreds of millions of people have been added to the human population, each of them exerting demands and impacts on a finite supply of fresh water. As noted in our Introduction, the overall quality of lakes and reservoirs in many areas of the United States, southern Canada, and Europe continues to deteriorate. In some areas, fresh water resources are so polluted that economic systems and human health are impaired. Although there are several urgent global environmental problems, scientists, environmentalists, and policy makers must focus much more attention on the human population explosion and its well-known relationship to fresh water pollution. Certainly all nations should be taking significant steps to reduce the likelihood of global climate change and to limit additional water pollution and aquatic habitat destruction. Lake and reservoir management and restoration methods are new technologies that have devel- oped over the last 35 years, and are ones that promise to be of great significance in protecting and improving fresh water systems. We hope that our book will be a useful addition. Every lake or reservoir utilized by humans requires management. This may involve only monitoring to assure that it is not degraded, or it may require regular efforts to maintain it, perhaps with equipment or techniques that have been adopted to enhance or protect the system. Restoration of impaired lakes and reservoirs, in the strict sense, is not possible, but the term is applied to procedures to return the system to some approximation of an earlier, less disturbed condition. We are just beginning to learn the art and science of management and restoration. Applied limnology developed as an extension of basic sciences. There is a great need to understand fresh water systems if we are to provide for their competent protection, management, and restoration for current and future generations. Long-term funding to support basic and applied limnology must be greatly expanded, and this must be recognized by politicians, administrators, and others who support science through policies and appropriations. We strongly endorse the work of the North American Lake Management Society (NALMS), and other professional and environ- mental organizations, which together have been so consistent in delivering this message to scientists, appropriate legislators, and citizens. Our goals in this book are to describe the eutrophication process, outline methods for developing a pre-management and restoration diagnosis-feasibility study, and to provide detailed descriptions of scientifically sound management and restoration methods. Each chapter includes an introduction to the scientific basis of the problem, a description of the method’s procedures, and presents some case histories. Potential negative impacts and costs, where known, also are noted. The chapters are updated and extensively referenced, and three new chapters have been added to this edition. Our book will be useful as a classroom text, as a reference manual, and as a general guide for interested lake users. This book is certainly not the last word on the topic. It is our sincere hope that it will stimulate new and improved perspectives and ideas in lake and reservoir management and restoration. The L1625_C000.fm Page v Sunday, December 18, 2005 8:27 PM Copyright © 2005 by Taylor & Francis content of this book is a product of the study, input, and concurrence of all of the authors, as well as a product of our combined years of field and laboratory research in limnology. Where appropriate and possible, we report costs in 2002 U.S. dollars by correcting for inflation. This was done by using year-to-year increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to correct costs reported for earlier years to their present values. We thank Dr. Thomas S. Lough (Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, California) for the use of his CPI scale to correct for inflation. The contributions to this book by Spencer A. Peterson, an employee of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), were made on his own time, with Agency permission. However, the research and writing were independent of USEPA employment and have not been subjected to the Agency’s peer and administrative review. Therefore, the conclusions and opinions stated are solely those of the author and should not be construed to reflect the views of the USEPA. Specific chapter authorship is: G. Dennis Cooke (Chapters 5, 9, 10, 13, 15, and 17), Eugene B. Welch (Chapters 3, 4, 6, 7, 18, and 19), Spencer A. Peterson (Chapter 20), Stanley A. Nichols (Chapters 11, 12, 14, and 16), G. Dennis Cooke and Spencer A. Peterson (Chapters 1 and 2), and Eugene B. Welch and G. Dennis Cooke (Chapter 8). L1625_C000.fm Page vi Sunday, December 18, 2005 8:27 PM Copyright © 2005 by Taylor & Francis Acknowledgments Numerous and often unnamed, our colleagues and students have provided a rich array of ideas, articles, books, theses, and reports from which to draw materials to write the book. Many have spent years in the field and in the laboratory, collecting data and studying lakes. The many stimulating discussions with them have been invaluable as well. We dedicate this book to them. We thank Dr. Brent Bruot, Chair, Department of Biological Sciences, Kent State University, for invaluable facilities and support during the book’s preparation, and Dr. Gertrud Cronberg and the late Dr. Gunnar Andersson for permission to use unpublished figures and photographs, respec- tively, in Chapter 20. We also thank Chris Lind and the General Chemical Corporation for permis- sion to use a figure in Chapter 8, and Drs. Richard Lathrop, William Walker and Jacob Kann for permission to use unpublished figures in Chapter 3. We thank Tetra Tech, Inc. (Seattle, Washington) for its general office and computer assistance to Eugene Welch. We thank the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for authorizing Spencer Peterson to write this book on his own time, but also to have occasional use of his computing and graphic arts contractor (Computer Sciences Corpora- tion), especially Suzanne M. Pierson, for drafting some new figures for this third edition. We gratefully acknowledge the technical assistance of the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey Staff, especially Susan Hunt and Mindy James, for graphic, editorial, and computer support for chapters prepared by Stanley Nichols. CRC Press has been a joy to work with. We are especially grateful to Patricia Roberson for her exceptional assistance during the book’s preparation, Jill Jurgensen and Sylvia Wood for their able editorial work, and our editor, Matt Lamoreaux, for his continuous support. Suzanne Pierson and Spencer Peterson assisted CRC’s Shayna Murry to design, compose and select colors for the book cover. G. Dennis Cooke Eugene B. Welch Spencer A. Peterson Stanley A.
