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.
