Why would an outdoor shower add nitrogen or phosphorus to the lake?
The general factors of additional nutrients is pretty well been known.
But you can't ask lakefront owners to spend money every year to determine that their septic is working correctly - since it will most years pass - if you are letting others dump human waste directly into the water or nearby shoreline to be washed in.
You can't demand we stop the run-off from lakefront lawns, if we are going to allow the lawn right across the street to have lawn run-off into the ditch that proceeds to the lake.
The problem is staggering because slowing/stopping environmental change requires a ''groupthink'' that does not exist.
