Information on the Lake Brienz Project

July 4th, 2006

Lake turbidity, the collapse of whitefish yields in 1999 and the temporary disappearance of the water flea (Daphnia) – the main food source for whitefish – have raised questions not only among Lake Brienz fishermen and residents but also more widely. Eawag and other research partners were commissioned by Canton Bern to conduct a study over a period of several years, investigating the factors responsible for these changes. The results of this study are to be presented at Iseltwald on Tuesday 4 July, with a media conference scheduled for the morning and a public presentation for the evening.
