DEFINING AND MEASURING "SUCCESSFUL" LAKE RESTORATION
Since 2000, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Lake Restoration Program (LRP) implemented various restoration strategies to improve water quality, promote a diverse, balanced aquatic community, and sustain public use benefits within their publicly owned lakes. Over 20 years, the Iowa DNR collected, analyzed, and reported lake data metrics from over 100 lakes across the state. Throughout those years a myriad of unique restoration practices have been implemented, to varying levels of success. Using data collected from the Iowa DNR, the Iowa State Center for Agricultural and Rural Development (CARD), we have worked to answer the questions; What restoration practices are most successful and how can we further implement them? What restoration practices fail and why? In our presentation, we will explore the ecological, financial, and social decisions that led to these restoration efforts. Our findings suggest that the success of scientifically supported and expensive restoration projects may hinge on effective community engagement. Small scale restoration decisions and effective community education and engagement leads to cost effective and impactful restoration efforts.
