Designed lakes and ponds are often prominent features of golf courses, municipal parks, housing developments, industrial parks, and malls. Well-designed lakes add natural ambiance not easily captured by land-based landscaping. Lakes reflect the sky and attract an entirely different set of plants, birds, fish and other biota. Too often, designed lakes are not properly designed, constructed or maintained. Poorly designed and maintained lakes can create serious safety and maintenance problems, and create negative ambiance. This book describes some limnological, maintenance and safety issues that can make the difference between desirable, designed lakes and ones that are not pleasant or safe.
