Twenty-eight lakes were studied in the MSP. While this ESW outlines the environmental status of the lakes in the MSP study and the stress reduction activities undertaken at these lakes, the main focus of this ESW is on the process indicators, which measure the development of an enabling environment for lake management.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTUREALGAL BLOOMSAQUATIC BIODIVERSITYBASINBASIN COUNTRIESBASIN LEVELBASIN MANAGEMENT INSTITUTIONSBASIN PROBLEMSBASIN PROJECTSBASIN RESOURCESBAYBEACHBIOLOGICAL CONTROLBIOMAGNIFICATIONBODBROOKSCAPACITY BUILDINGCASE STUDIESCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMANDCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE VARIABILITYCLIMATIC CONDITIONSCOASTAL PLAINSCODCOMMERCIAL VALUECOMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONDISCHARGEDISSOLVED OXYGENDOWNSTREAM RIVERDOWNSTREAM WATER USERSDRAINAGEDRAINAGE BASINDRAINAGE BASINSDROUGHTECOLOGICAL FUNCTIONINGECOLOGICAL INTEGRITYECOSYSTEMSENDEMIC FISHENDEMIC FISH SPECIESESTUARIESEVAPORATIONFISHFISHERIESFISHERIES RESOURCESFISHERY RESOURCESFLOATING PLANTSFLOODPLAINSFLOODSFLOODWATERSFOOD CHAINFORESTRYFRESHWATERFRESHWATER LAKEFRESHWATER LAKESFRESHWATER RESOURCESGLOBAL WATER PARTNERSHIPGLOBALLY SIGNIFICANT BIODIVERSITYGROUNDWATERHABITATHEADWATERSHUMAN ACTIVITIESHYDROPOWERHYDROPOWER GENERATIONINTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTINTERNATIONAL WATERSINVERTEBRATESIRRIGATIONISSUESLAKELAKE BASINSLAKE ECOSYSTEMSLAKE ENVIRONMENTLAKE MANAGEMENTLAKESLAKESHORELANDSCAPELARGE LAKESLIVELIHOODSLONG-TERM BENEFITSLONG-TERM MONITORINGMANAGEMENTNATIONAL RESOURCESNATURAL LAKESNATUREOXYGEN DEMANDPLANKTONPLANNING PROCESSPOLLUTANTSPRECIPITATIONPROTECTIONPUBLIC AWARENESSPUBLIC EDUCATIONRESERVOIRRESERVOIR MANAGEMENTRESERVOIRSRETENTION TIMERIPARIAN COUNTRIESRIVERRIVER BASINRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENTRIVER BASINSRIVER FLOWSRIVER WATERSRIVERSSEDIMENTSEDIMENT LOADSSEDIMENTSSOIL CONSERVATIONSPECIESSUPPLY OF WATERSURFACE RUNOFFSUSTAINABLE FISHERYSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTUNSUSTAINABLE FISHINGWATER ECOSYSTEMSWATER MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCESWATER SHORTAGESWATER USERSWATERSHEDWATERSHED PROTECTIONWEEDSWETLANDSWorld Bank10.1596/8487
