Brings together current understanding of the mechanisms that drive the diametrically opposite states of water clarity, shown by the cover paintings,
found in many shallow lakes and ponds. It gives an outline of the knowledge gained from field observations, experimental work, and restoration
studies, linked by a solid theoretical framework. The book focuses on shallow lakes, but the lucid treatment of plankton dynamics, resuspension, light
climate and the role of vegetation is relevant to a much wider range of aquatic systems. The models that are used remain simple and most analyses are
graphical rather than algebraic.
