A study on Lake Taihu's drinking water crisis due to blue algal bloom in 2007 found that the bloom was caused by eutrophication. The bloom was linked to the lake's location and the advantages of cyanobacteria. To control eutrophication, techniques like pollution source control, ecological restoration, and catchment management can be used. Methods to control algal bloom include physical, chemical, and ecological approaches tailored to each lake's unique ecosystem.
