β¦ Synopsis
The P-budget of Dal Lake in Kashmir is described for a 12 month period. The lake is characterizrd by high P-loading (7.5 g e m-2 a-1) and had high P-retention (retention coefficient 0.32). 1'-loading in the lake showed positive and negative relations with flushing rate and P-retention rrspectively. A negative relation WAS similarly found existing between flushing and P-retention. The roles of various biotic and abiotic factors in the P-budget of the lake are described.

## Abstract Extensive watershed development has resulted in excessive total phosphorus (TP) loads to Dal Lake, a high altitude Himalayan lake known for its tourism and economic potential. External and internal TP loads of 5 and βΌ1 g m^β2^ yr^β1^, respectively, were estimated for the lake. These loa
The relationship between phosphorus concentration and estimated phosphorus load in Lake Dal-a marl lake-is described for the past decade. The concentration of this elcmcnt in t#he lake system remained constant during this period although the P load increased by about 40 yo. This phenomenon is discus
