| Abstract: | Lake Ioannina in western Greece is a shallow lake, charged by springs as well as untreated discharges of the nearby urban area. Physicochemical and biological parameters have been evaluated verifying the deterioration of the lake aquatic environment. The water quality and the trophic status of the lake are greatly altered during the last ten years while the total phosphorus critical loading is already at a dangerous state. |
