- W175399747 abstract "There is an increasing demand in inner city areas for water-based amenity and recreational facilities. Small neglected water bodies are often found in such areas and this paper examines the benefits and problems of lake rehabilitation with reference to two polluted lakes in Coventry, UK. Rehabilitation methods and techniques are assessed and future management strategies evaluated. Socio-political and ecological problems involved in rehabilitation and management are considered. INTRODUCTION : THE VALUE AND USE OF URBAN LAKES Many local and national government authorities and institutions acknowledge a high demand for water-based recreation (Jorgensen, 1980; Hellawell, 1986; Sukopp & Werner, 1982) . The 1970s and 80s witnessed a growing demand for water based recreational facilities, in association with a greater awareness of the aesthetic, scenic and ecological importance of water bodies. West Midland Sports Council (WMSC) (1990), have shown an increase in the memberships of rowing, sub-aqua, water skiing and yatching clubs in the English Midlands, with a decline in the membership of fishing clubs since 1965. However, many of the facilities are based in rural areas and it is difficult to assess the value of inner city lakes either in terms of their value as an amenity or as a recreational resource. To date, there has been little research on this problem but the West Midland Sports Council has recently prioritised demand assessment in urban areas for future study. Development of outdoor water-based sport has been adhoc; demand being mainly fuelled by supply. The West Midlands conurbation has a number of large water bodies; for example Birmingham has 15 lakes and reservoirs currently in use for recreation (WMSC, 1990). Any attempt to provide additional facilities will face the decision to either build new lakes or assess the potential of developing and rehabilitating existing sites. Suitable land is difficult and expensive to obtain in the inner city and, whilst new water bodies are being excavated at present in the UK, these are often integrated with major building programmes and have been sponsored by companies involved in the construction work. Existing lakes studied in urban areas are often in a state of neglect and" @default.
