Abstract
The OECD International Programme on Eutrophication has been
designed for cross sectional comparison of lakes to provide management
with simple tools to evaluate nutrient reduction, particularly phosphorus,
necessary to alleviate excessive eutrophication. The scope of the
Canadian programme was to test the applicability of the overall OECD
results on a set of data not included in the original elaboration with
three main objectives in mind:
a) clarification of the extent to which lakes of an unspecified
nature exhibit statistical properties similar to the OECD lakes b) clarification and identification of the limits of transferability
c) identification
of conditions which need further evaluation.
The Canadian lakes data base represents a collection of formation from personal communication with various workers involved in
major limnological projects as well as that contained in the literature.
It has been subdivided into seven major geographical regions which are
treated separately.
