The motivation to write and assemble scientific knowledge on the deterioration and rehabilitation of an urban lake into this compilation originated from an almost unique combination of facts. Metropolitan waters are highly diverse, multifunctional ecosystems, usually man-made. Managing these water bodies is challenging particularly when used for recreation. Such systems often require focused managing plans and intensive in-lake efforts because several techniques such as complete draw-down are impossible in such circumstances. Rarely rehabilitation programs run more than a few years. Here we can report on a 25-year long-term s
