13 The aim of this study is to establish some baseline information about the 
   chemistry and the ecology of Lake Guthridge, an artificial lake which acts as 
   the area for storm-water collection in Sale, Victoria, Australia. This 
   information will be as a comparison with future studies, and will provide 
   background information on which to base management recommendations.
