Release of phosphorus from sediments in Lake Biwa / Tom Murphy ... [et al.].: En13-5/01-211E-PDF

"Lake Biwa is the largest lake in Japan, contains many endemic species, and is the drinking water supply for about 14 million Japanese. Unfortunately, Lake Biwa is becoming more productive (Hirayama et al. 1993; Tezuka and Nakano 1993). Recent studies indicate that sediment mixing during typhoons results in the release of phosphorus into the water column (Frenette et al. 1996; Robarts et al. 1998)"--Introduction.
