Power boats on shallow lakes with a maximum depth of 30 ft

The following is probably the best peer reviewed article we have seen re possible impact of power boats on shallow lakes.

But we caution that for lakes where there is a concern on this issue, a careful analyses has to be conducted by a professional limnologist/lake manager before one can be confident that the cumulative action of powerboats on a particular lake may indeed be exasperating the inlake water quality.
