Lake St. Charles, located north of Quebec City, Canada, is a shallow fluvial lake with two distinct basins bridging rural and urban landscapes. Mainly used as a source of drinking water for 300,000 residents, the lake has faced a steady degradation in water quality due to urbanization and the discharge of domestic wastewater.

Eutrophication is a major cause of water quality degradation in South Korea, owing to severe algal blooms. To manage eutrophication, the South Korean government provided the Trophic State Index (TSIko), which was revised according to Carlson's TSI. The TSIko levels were simulated using mechanistic water quality modeling.

The littoral zone is an essential compartment for lake biota because of its high productivity and diversity. Moreover, phytoplankton is expected to have non-equilibrium dynamics on it. The study's aimed to explore phytoplankton in the littoral zone of a shallow lake over a short-term scale.

The historical impacts of eutrophication processes were investigated in six subtropical reservoirs (São Paulo, Brazil) using a paleolimnological approach. We questioned whether the levels of pigment indicators of algal biomass could provide information about trophic increase and whether carotenoid pigments could offer additional insights. The following proxies were employed: organic matter, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, photosynthetic pigments (by high-performance liquid chromatography), sedimentation rates, and geochronology (by 210 Pb technique).
