Samples were taken every three inontlis through one year from fifteen different points on the streains feeding and draining off the lake. Parainetcrs of temperature, pH., N03-N, N02-N .. NH3-N., TKN, P04-P. BOI5 and KOI on the different tweJve streains feeding and three draining off points were Froni these values.. loading, discharge and accuinulation amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus causing eutrophication were calculated and trophic state of the lake was deterinined.
