The majority of lake restoration projects have been conducted to combat eutrophication. Lake restoration is a broad term used for different techniques aiming to bring a body of water back to or closer to anthropogenically undisturbed conditions. The paper contains description and analyse of mostly used techniques of lakes and reservoirs restoration. Methods of phosphorus inactivation in bottom sediment using Fe, Al and Ca reagents are presented mainly.
