Lake turnover can either improve or worsen the condition of the water. If the new water comes from a fresh, clean source, then the supply of nutrients in the water would be renewed.

Turnover
One way that the nutrients in the water are renewed is by dead matter. Creatures living in the lake die and their bodies, if they are not eaten, will rot, releasing nutrients. Leaves, twigs, seed and fruit falling from plants and trees into the lake will also rot and release nutrients. Animal waste will provdide nutrients too.
eutrophic lake
The temperature of the entire lake must drop to 4 degrees celsius where water reaches its maximum density. This is called Autumnal Turnover. The water cools from the surface and sinks while the warm water, at depth, rises carrying nutrients. Once the turnover stops, the water on the surface can cool to the freezing point at 0 degrees celsius.
