Abstract
This study evaluates the available eutrophication control techniques that could be applied in Keban Dam Reservoir. A limited reduction of phosphorous was shown to be achieved by pre-dam construction on the major nutrient source, Murat River. Biomanipulation was evaluated as an ineffective method. A performed analysis has shown that only a drainage basin management program may decrease the phosphorous loading to the extent desired.
