文摘

Water level is 1 m lower during drought period than pre-drought period. Drought unprecedentedly enhances salinity and eutrophication status. Very acidic water occurs in the lake margins rather than the main body of Lower Lakes. Lake Albert with low lake flushing rate takes more time for recovery of water quality. Lower Lakes, potentially P-limited are now characterized as hypereutrophic.
