Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : reductions in phosphorus loads to Lake Winnipeg.En4-144/89-2025E-PDF

"Phosphorus is an essential plant nutrient. However, when phosphorus levels are too high, or too low, they can have harmful impacts on a lake's water quality and food web as observed in Lake Winnipeg. In the absence of human development, natural background levels of phosphorus are relatively low. High phosphorus levels in Lake Winnipeg may result from human-related factors such as agricultural runoff and urban runoff. Reducing the amount of phosphorus that enters Lake Winnipeg helps to improve water quality and the ecosystem health of the lake"--Page 5.
