2-6 Mission for the Next Age

In WLSC 2008 we drafted the definition of a Lake and the five steps of lake management. After this conference, we are going to spread awareness of these ideas as much as possible and report the outcome to World Lake Conference 2009. The mission for the next age is to broaden scientific knowledge and seek financial support to implement these five steps in lake management.

3. Current management practices should be analyzed and assessed to see if they are sustainable. If not, we should work together to determine what went wrong and why.

4. We should find a way to resolve these issues and work together to implement these solutions.

5. Finally we should see if the lake quality has improved. If not, then we need to reevaluate the management.

2-5 Steps to improve Lake Environmental Conditions

The steps are as follows:

1. Citizens, scientists, companies, NGOs, governments and international organizations should open a platform for communication.

2-2 Deterioration of Lake Environments

Deterioration of the lake environment results in a decrease in biological diversity, a lower quality of its associated resources and impaired ecosystem services.

2-3 Reasons for lake deterioration

Lake environments are changing due to increased population and industrialization. Moreover the lack of respect and environmental education of the citizens along with the mismanagement by the governments accentuate lake deterioration.

A lake is an aquatic ecosystem that is a perennial, enclosed or semi-enclosed waterbody with a measurable residence time and has interactions with its catchment area and the global environment.
