Samples from the shoreline of Windermere, and rivers and lakes in its catchment, revealed higher levels of phosphorus in August. The Love Windermere Partnership aims to improve the lake's ecology.
Samples from the shoreline of Windermere , and rivers and lakes in its catchment, revealed higher levels of phosphorus in AugustThe Love Windermere Partnership said it is determined to"drive the change necessary" to improve the lake.
Scientists said the higher phosphorus concentrations found in August 2023 were "potentially significant for the ecology of the lake, with phosphorus being one factor linked to the Scientists said these bacteria live in the intestines of people and animals and their presence in a sample suggests possible contamination of water by faecal material.Dr Ben Surridge, senior lecturer at Lancaster University, said it was "hard to pinpoint individual pollution sources" because it would require a "completely different piece of research".
"These include increased release of wastewater from mains sewerage networks and from private wastewater treatment infrastructure, such as septic tanks, and increased runoff from agricultural land and from other land surfaces," he explained. Love Windermere chair Andy Brown said: "It is important to realise that this data is just part of the jigsaw as it reflects a moment in time shortly after high rainfall totals when we would expect more pollution to be present.
