A freshwater enthusiast in Romania has studied decades of data on Rotorua's lakes and found water quality is on an upward trajectory, with Lake Rotorua most improved.
But the outlook closer to home remains sober with some experts saying there is a long way to go.
Catalin Trif, a project manager based in Cluj-Napoca in Romania's northwest, founded his "passion project" Lakepedia in 2015 and said it was "born out of a fascination for lakes and rivers".
The website, an online encyclopaedia of lakes, is run by Trif and one other volunteer.
