The Wahnbach Reservoir in the Federal Republic of Germany, since its impoundment, gradually has developed heavy deposits of algae—most of which thrive on the phosphates from agricultural runoff. To stifle the algae, tests were run to determine the best method for eliminating their nourishment. This article relates findings that, for this reservoir's particular problems, were found to be the most efficient and economic methods.
