Does your lake suffer from eutrophication? Is there a need to diminish diffuse loading?
Finnish Environment Institute SYKE offers its know-how and expertise for lake restoration projects and expertise on catchment management, which is often the prerequisite for successful results in restoration. The special areas of our expertise include improving water status and scientific knowledge in lake restoration and management.
Preparation of a restoration project includes the choice of physical, chemical and biological measures and catchment area management techniques to be applied in the target. A multi-criteria assessment method helps in the comparison of cost-effective options and in stakeholder participation in the planning phase. Water quality and biological monitoring before and after restoration gives information on how the goals of the restoration have been attained.
