N2  - This paper describes the challenges of managing lakes and reservoirs and the Bank ' s support of these activities. Specifically, it addresses water pollution, water withdrawals, diversions and lake reclamation; disturbances in watersheds; inappropriate introduction of exotic species; and overfishing. To alleviate the pressure on these water bodies, the report recommends a series of complementary measures, namely: (1) approaching water resources planning comprehensively; (2) using apt analytical tools and techniques, such as cost-benefit analysis and environmental assessments; (3) improving water resources allocation; (4) preventing and abating pollution; (5) focusing on applied research efforts that collect basic data on water and environmental quality, hydrology, and hydrogeology, and illuminate the interrelationships between lakes and reservoirs and the large freshwater systems to which they belong; (5) applying innovative technologies including spray irrigation systems and artificial wetlands; and (6) disseminating information on successful practices and proven technologies, such as farming practices. The World Bank will undertake a global water partnership supporting comprehensive management; develop supplementary policy guidelines, support collaborative preparation and implementation of programs and projects; integrate lake and reservoir management policy into its training programs for integrated river basin management and integrated coastal zone management; support preventative and restorative measures; and support a Lakes Management Initiative, a knowledge and experience bank
