Lake Rehabilitation

I first became interested in Lake Rehabilitation after reading an article in New Scientist Magazine describing an experiment by Professor Brian Moss, where nutrient diversion to lakes in the Norfolk Broads resulted in substantial improvements in water quality initially although after several years the lakes returned to their previous condition. The most curious thing was that the magazine was on the new Journal shelves in the library, although as I later found out it was several years old - fate ?
