It is absolutely essential that plans be in place for bringing together the main pillars of the ILBM approach discussed in earlier modules. However, while plans may be easily made, they are often ignored.This module provides some insight into how effective plans can be made and implemented.It draws heavily on the experience at various lake basins around the world and should provide much food for thought for lake basin managers stuggling with these questions now.
