B. DESCRIPTION

    Lake Starnberger (the second widest of Bavaria) is located 20 km north to the northern periphery of the Alps and was formed during the last glacial period ("Isar-Loisach-glacier") some 15,000-20,000 years ago. With a maximum depth of 128 m and a volume of about 3 billion m2 Lake Starnberger is the greatest water body of Bavaria. The lake measures 20 km from north to south and reaches an average width of 2.8 km. The catchment area is 5.6 times as large as the lake itself. The water residence time is about 21 years since only a few small rivers flow into the lake (danger of eutrophication). Thirty-six% of the catchment area consist of woody vegetation - half is afforested plantation of conifers (Picea, Pinus) and half is mixed deciduous forest consisting mostly of beech (Fagus sylvatica). Additional 46% are farmlands (67% pasture land, 33% crop field). Surrounding settlements are mostly rural with Starnberg (located at the lake outlet) being the largest city with 17,000 inhabitants. As Munich, the capital of Bavaria with a population of 1.5 million is situated nearby (15 km), the area is much frequented for recreation activities. The originally oligotrophic lake has been influenced by economic development since the 1950's by nutrient loading of municipal sewage. The installation of a circular sewer line system from 1964 to 1976 and a treatment plant at the lake outlet improved the water quality tremendously, so that Lake Starnberger can now be called mesotrophic with a tendency to oligotrophic (Q1, Q2).

H. LAKE UTILIZATION (Q1, Q2)

H1 LAKE UTILIZATION
    Sight-seeing and tourism (no. of visitors in 1986: >1,000,000), recreation (swimming, sport-fishing, yachting) and fisheries.

I. DETERIORATION OF LAKE ENVIRONMENTS AND HAZARDS

I1 ENHANCED SILTATION (Q2)
  • Extent of damage: None.
I2 TOXIC CONTAMINATION (Q2)
  • Present status: None.
I3 EUTROPHICATION
  • Nitrogen and phosphorus loadings to the lake [t yr-1](Q1, Q2)
    1978-1979
    Sources Domestic Agricultural Natural Others Total
    T-P 7.0* 6.7 6.3 1.0 21.0
    *1987: <3.
  • Supplementary notes (Q1, Q2)
    In the seventies a circular sewer line around the lake (50 km) was installed. The sewage of more than 85% of the population is diverted from the lake and treated in a plant placed at the lake's outlet. This led to an improvement in the trophic situation, now mesotrophic with a tendency to oligotrophic.
I4 ACIDIFICATION (Q2)
  • Extent of damage: None.

J. WASTEWATER TREATMENTS

J1 GENERATION OF POLLUTANTS IN THE CATCHMENT AREA (Q2)
    c) Limited pollution with wastewater treatment.
    f) Settlements (with total 54,000 inhabitants) are connected with a sewage diversion system in operation (50 km); now the lake is completely free from sewage load.
J2 APPROXIMATE PERCENTAGE DISTRIBUTION OF POLLUTANT LOADS (Q2)
    [%]
    - Non-point sources
    Natural and dispersed settlements 40
    Agricultural 40
    - Point sources 20
    - Total 100
J3 SANITARY FACILITIES AND SEWERAGE
  • Percentage of municipal population in the catchment area provided with
    adequate sanitary facilities (on-site treatment systems) or public sewerage: 85% (Q1).
  • Percentage of rural population with adequate sanitary facilities (on-site
    treatment systems): 12%
  • Municipal wastewater treatment systems: 1* (Q2).
    * Not in the catchment area but at the lake outlet.

K. IMPROVEMENT WORKS IN THE LAKE (Q2)

K1 RESTORATION
    Sewage diversion by circular sewer line around the lake.

L. DEVELOPMENT PLANS (Q2)

    Municipal sewerage shall be completed to cover finally 97% of the existing population. All new developments (e.g. settlements, hotels, industries) must be connected to the public sewer system from the very beginning.
