Need for Lake Management

• Lake management Working groups aims on

assessing the current condition of the Lake Durowskie and suggesting workable solutions for improving the ecological state of the lake.

• Lake Durowskie is of interest to many

categories of people from Wągrowiec, from fishermen to motor boat enthusiasts.

• With ever increasing recreational use and

growing populations residing near and along, lake can suffer from small and large cumulative impacts.

Ranking

Factors Contributing

External Factors

• Inflow (water

containing high nutrients from Lake Kobyleckie) Lake Kobyleckie) Internal Factors

• Erosion from

Surface Runoff

– Furrow erosion

Factors Contributing

• Fishing

– By Adding Nutrients (Fishing baits) – Jetty’s effecting Macrophytes belt along shoreline – Direct fishing from lake bank bank

• Intensified Leisure Activities

– Strong waves from motor boats effecting Macrophytes belt. – Mountain biking along the lake (along with severe rainfall causes mass erosion events.

Conclusion and Recommendations

• Round table capacity building (Public awareness campaign).
• Majority of the locals sustain the rehabilitation of the lake.
• Educate fishermen to reduce use of fishing bait
• Allow more fishermen to use private jetties to reduce

impact on macrophytes belts ?

• Zoning of lake in North and South (Limit activities in the

North of Lake)

Conclusion and Recommendations

• Change route of biking along the lake to limit

erosion events.

• Construct jetties to reduce foot print on

macrophytes belt. macrophytes belt.

• Ban use of motor boat in certain areas ?
• Motor boat rides to be limited to reduce effect on

macrophytes
