One of the phenomena that causes ecological concerns is lake eutrophication. Lakes are
under the threat of water quality degradation and ecological imbalance due to increased
anthropogenic activity, particularly in developing countries. In this context, limnologists and
environmental scientists have been using numerical modeling in their studies of aquatic ecosystems
over the last few decades. Ecological models use ecosystem-process interactions to simulate future
management scenarios and evaluate the system's response to eutrophication. Utilizing ecological
models has made it simpler than ever to estimate and manage lake eutrophication. However, due to
lake-specific issues, the models are becoming increasingly detailed. In this review; a) The model
types used in eutrophication-focused modelling studies were summarized b) Model utilizations
based on different eutrophication elements and events were highlighted via several recent national
and international studies.
