Nutrient Loading In Lake Erie

Lake Erie, part of the Great Lakes, is vital for regional industries and public health. Despite past improvements, water quality has declined due to algal blooms caused by nutrient runoff from farming. Research funded by the NSF aims to address these issues through better farming practices and technology. Collaborative efforts are underway to restore the lake, which can recover quickly once pollution is reduced.
