Identifying the villains you’re dealing with can seem like nothing compared to choosing the right solution. In the Evaluating Solutions course, we’ll cover several different options and what each solution entails. We summarize it in three steps:
- Assessment. Guides will help you assess the condition of your lake and precisely the villains that are plaguing it. This step usually includes some aspect of research to ensure the villains are fully understood and identified.
- Prescription. SePRO guides and Stewards of Water will then prescribe the right solution at the right amount based on the assessment. Some prescriptions will be implemented over time to ensure maximum success.
- Implementation. The final step is the implementation process, which means the actual treatment of the lake. The timeline of results are contingent on the specific factors of each situation, but your guides can walk you through the details of when your lake will be back to it’s original state.
There are well documented cases of success and long term benefits when lakes are restored using integrated lake management. We will discuss what this means in the Evaluating Solutions course.
