LAKES IN DISTRESS
Lakes both large and small up and down the country are suffering . Look no further than the recent national news on the state of Lake Windermere . Even local news outlets regularly bemoan the state of smaller lakes in and around our towns and villages . actively harmful . This information often tries to look at the symptoms rather than how to treat the cause . Additionally , treating algae incorrectly can make the situation worse as it can increase silts which cause further oxygen depletion . This can also increase noxious gases such as hydrogen sulphide or methane . It is therefore important to seek advice that looks at the bigger picture . The lake must be considered as a living , breathing eco-system .
OASE has been working with water for over 70 years . Our work with lake therapy focuses on the holistic approach to manging water . This is summarised with our 3-step process – Water Stabilisation , Treatment when necessary and the Controlling of Nutrients . The core of this is a constant maintenance of the lake , rather than relying on emergency treatment .
Years of neglect and poor information has led to increasingly worsening conditions . We regularly see cases of : Oxygen depletion , fish deaths , animals harmed by blue green algae blooms , algae covered lakes and unpleasant odours .
We also see that information for how to tackle these problems is incomplete at best and often
What if we told you that all the above-mentioned problems are linked and are symptoms of deeper issues that must be addressed ? Understanding these root causes is essential for success .
