Abstract

The water quality of the lakes in south western Friesland is influenced by a rather complex hydrology. The purpose of the abiotic part of the eutrophication project, started in 1984 and focused on phosphorus, is to model hydrology and phosphorus dynamics, in order to compare scenarios for policy and management.

A brief survey is given of the preliminary results of the abiotic studies: hydrology, water quality, external loading from surrounding polders, sedimentary phosphorus and internal loading. The two largest lakes, Tjeukemeer and Slotermeer, are compared regarding these processes.
