Innovations in Lake Restoration

Across Europe, lakes face increasing pressures from nutrient pollution, habitat degradation, biodiversity loss and legacy pollutants stored in sediments. Restoring these ecosystems requires innovative approaches that go beyond traditional management methods.

FutureLakes explores and demonstrates new restoration solutions that combine nature-based approaches, circular economy principles, and biodiversity-focused measures. By reviewing existing knowledge and testing solutions in real-world conditions, the project helps identify effective and scalable approaches for restoring lake ecosystems.
