Smart solutions for Lake Restoration

• Lakes first began to be restored in Finland in the late 1960s as new legislation was implemented and waste water purification expanded

• Where reduction of external load was not feasible, favorable conditions have been restored with other means and various methods (e.g. aeration, dredging, raising water levels, biomanipulation, macrophyte control).

• By 2002, restoration work had been carried out or planned for a total of some 800 lakes or lake waters.

• Restoration measures have usually aimed to improve water quality or lake depths, in order to increase the lakes' recreational value.

• The Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) is Finland’s national centre for environmental research and development.

• Ahma Engineers and FCG are active service providers in Lake Rehabilitation projects.
