The researchers studied Lake Wabamun in Alberta to see if phosphorus control was needed due to declining water quality and excessive plant growth. They found that sediment in the lake releases a lot of phosphorus, especially in late summer, which exceeds the amount coming from outside sources. This means major projects to control phosphorus in the area are not necessary.
