Scientists from a wide range of countries examine the pollution of lakes by human activity from a number of perspectives. Among them are the water chemistry of lakes in central Italy, environmetrics as a tool for assessing lake pollution, fish assemblage subjected to strong anthropogenic stress in the Barrra Bonita Reservoir of Brazil's Teitê River Basin, health effects of lake pollution, internal phosphorus loading in White Lake in Michigan, and the hydraulic characterization of deep aquifers in the arsenic affected Meghna Floodplain of southeastern Bangladesh.
