Eutrophication has often been one of the major problems encountered in estuaries and coastal waters. The oxic/anoxic status of an estuary can be effectively determined by measurement of the Sediment Oxygen Demand (SOD). The present study forms a pioneering attempt to evaluate the SOD of the Cochin Backwater System (CBS), a tropical eutrophic estuary in the south-west coast of India. The CBS exh...

Abstract One of the essential issues in quality management water resources is determination level eutrophication and dissolved oxygen dam reservoirs other bodies. It possible to study changes concentration using qualitative models. In this study, CE-QUAL-W2, a two-dimensional model hydrodynamics capable predicting behavior aquatic ecosystems, has been used simulate eutrophication. As case Yamch...

Chrysosporum ovalisporum is a cylindrospermopsin toxin producing cyanobacterium that was reported in several lakes and reservoirs. Its growth dynamics and toxin distribution in field remain largely undocumented. Chrysosporum ovalisporum was reported in 2009 in Karaoun Reservoir, Lebanon. We investigated the factors controlling the occurrence of this cyanobacterium and vertical distribution of c...

Spatial and temporal variations in phytoplankton communities in continental waters have received attention from limnologists, since they are differently influenced by many physico-chemical and biological factors. This study was undertaken with the aim to identify the environmental variables that influence the temporal and spatial dynamics of the phytoplankton near a fish farm in the Jucazinho r...

An increasing number of rivers is being dammed, particularly in the tropics, and reservoir water surfaces can be a substantial anthropogenic source greenhouse gases. On average, 80% CO2-equivalent emission reservoirs globally has been attributed to CH4, which predominantly emitted via ebullition. Since ebullition highly variable across space time, both measuring upscaling an entire challenging,...
