Abstract. Kansas State University working with local WRAPS (Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy-EPA 319) groups have proposed a number of best management practices to reduce phosphorus losses from the Marion Reservoir Watershed. Phosphorus concentrations in Marion Reservoir have led to massive growth of cyanobacteria in the reservoir. The death of the of the bacteria leads to extreme levels of toxins in the lake water which require costly removal treatments by local water treatment plants
