Abstract:

Executive summary: Background
The National Eutrophication Management Program was established in 1995 by the Land
and Water Resources Research Corporation and the Murray-Darling Basin Commission,
to provide the scientic underpinning necessary for the eective management of algal
blooms.

The Burrinjuck algal succession research project was one of a large number of projects
funded in a multi-pronged approach to research. The primary focus of the project
has been analysis to better describe the factors driving algal growth in reservoirs and
determining algal composition in reservoirs.

Algal blooms are now a widespread and recurrent reservoir management problem, having
the potential for severe environmental, social and economic impacts. An important
component of the Burrinjuck project has been the development, in collaboration with
managers, of guidelines that enable better management of reservoirs in limiting the
incidence and severity of algal blooms.
