Researchers at the University of Canberra will narrow in on the prevention of algae blooms in Lake Tuggeranong, through an extension of their study into the health of ACT waterways.

Research over the next four years will examine the impact of nutrients flowing in from surrounding catchments and how to prevent an influx into the system.
