There are some issues which still need objective studies: (1) water losses from the lake basin to recharge deep groundwater aquifers; (2) scale and seasonal variations of water runoff from the raised bog into the lake and the drains; (3) possible impact of exploitable peat deposit drainage on water regime in the adjacent raised bog and the lake.

Because decomposition proceeds more slowly in the more acidic environment of the bog-centre than at its margins, the accumulation of decay-resistant sphagnum eventually raises the surface to produce a domed or raised bog with a convex profile in a process known as paludification.
