Approach Efficiency Cost Suitable goals
Comprehensive approach High High ●Lakes with high level of eutrophication
CB High Low ●The lake has a high concentration of nutrients even after serious reductions in the load of nutrients, and high concentrations of algae, in particular cyanophytes
Ecohydrological restoration approach High Low ●Urban eutrophication cascade reservoirs and small urban water ecosystems
Geoengineering approach High Low ●Anoxic lakes that are experiencing or have experienced algal blooms
GAFI High High ●Water landscapes and environmental conservation
IEM High Low ●Soil balls could be applied to improve water quality of small ponds, lakes, and streams. More suitable for small and mid size water bodies
Sustainable approach High Low ●The lake need to gradual reconstruct the structure and functioning of the ecosystem without taking too deeply intervening actions
LCW High High ●Help to improve watershed and lake water quality
