Proper lake function can ease the impact of floods and droughts by
storing large amounts of water and releasing it during shortages. Lakes
also work to replenish groundwater, positively influence water quality
of downstream watercourses, and preserve the biodiversity and habitat of
the area. When the ecological puzzle pieces of a lake come together
and the lake is able to work as it should, the big picture is clear, we
all stand to benefit from this important resource.
Lakes can provide us with prime opportunities for recreation,
tourism, and cottage or residential living. They are also respected by
many people for their historical and traditional values and may be a
source of raw drinking water for a municipality. Lakes can also be used
as a water supply for industry and an irrigation source for
agriculture.
So you see lakes are more than just a simple body of water used by
many people to enjoy recreational activities. They are important
ecosystems that, when respected and cared for, can sustain a healthy
balance of aquatic life, provide us with much enjoyment, and help
support our socio-economic needs. It is our responsibility to continue
to practice stewardship in our lakes by keeping them healthy for all,
especially those who depend on them.
