Point source pollution of lakes is generally reported to affect less than 25% of lake water bodies. This low proportion of lakes being affected by point source pollution is due to substantial urban waste water treatment over the past decade(s), thereby causing organic enrichment in only a minority of lakes in most countries. The exception here is Greece and in particular Belgium where most of the lake water bodies are affected by organic enrichment in spite of low proportions reported to receive point source pollution.
