Increasing urbanisation of coastal areas is leading to impacts on coastal lakes which decrease their amenity for recreation and tourism. Runoff and wastewater discharge cause siltation, impact seagrass beds and change the characteristics of open waters, affecting boating, swimming, fishing and the aesthetic quality of the locale. Management of urban development and wastewater disposal is required to minimise sedimentation and nutrient enrichment. This could include development restrictions, runoff controls and a strategy for wastewater treatment and discharge. The catchment of Lake Macquarie, a marine coastal lake, has been progressively urbanised since 1945. Urbanisation, through increased stormwater runoff and point source discharges, has caused a major impact on the lake in terms of sedimentation and nutrient enrichment. Losses of lake area and navigable waters have occurred. Accompanying problems include changes in the distribution of seagrass beds and nuisance growths of benthic algae. Since the 1950's, dry weather nutrient concentrations have increased and mean water clarity has decreased. Severe problems, as observed in other New South Wales coastal lakes, for example benthic algae in Lake Illawarra and Tuggerah Lakes, have not yet developed. Because of the lead time taken to implement policies and controls, trends should be identified and policies developed now so as to avoid nutrient buildup and development of sustained problems.

Lake St Lucia is one of Africa's largest coastal lakes, and is one of South Africa's most important wetland ecosystems. However, like many ecosystems, it is under threat from increased demands for water in its catchment area. Reduced runoff primarily impacts on the salinity regime of the lake. At low lake levels there is a net inflow of seawater to the lake. Evaporation concentrates the salts, and lake salinities rise to several times that of seawater. In water periods, lake levels rise and there is a net outflow toward the sea. Under these conditions salinities are low. The lake therefore naturally experiences a range of salinities associated with wet and dry cycles. Increased water use in the catchment will, however, impact on this natural salinity regime. This paper introduces a suite of models which will be used to facilitate management of the water resources of the catchment. The preliminary work presented demonstrates the ability of the models to provide meaningful input into a catchment management decision-support system.
