Plastic has become one of the most prominent contaminants in recent decades, posing a major environmental threat with critical implications for seafood safety. Thus, we investigated abundance and characterization microplastics (MPs) sediment bivalves from Çıldır Lake, Almus Dam Kartalkaya Lake Turkey. The MPs ranged 19-156 MP kg$^{-1}$ sediments, while 0.75-10.0 individual$^{-1}$ (indiv.$^{-1}$...

Presenting water quality data for stakeholder meetings is often challenging. Section 603 of the Energy Act requires dam owners to hold stakeholder meetings on lake water quality issues during the FERC re-licensing process. Traditionally, maps, tables, and graphs have been distributed at stakeholder meetings to present water quality data, which is often perceived as misleading and confusing. Thi...

The Three Gorges Dam, located in the largest endemic area of schistosomiasis in China, is one of the world's largest hydroelectric projects to date. Some large-scale hydro projects have resulted in schistosomiasis emergence or re-emergence. Therefore, the dam's potential impact on the transmission of Schistosoma japonicum has raised concerns from medical researchers worldwide. A systematic lite...

Continual sediment accumulation in Capitol Lake since the damming of the Deschutes River in 1951 has altered the initial morphology of the basin. As part of the Deschutes River Estuary Restoration Feasibility Study, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) is modeling how tidal and storm processes will influence the river, lake and lower Budd Inlet should estuary restoration occur. Understand...

INTRODUCTION ROATH LAKE is a large artificial lake situated in one of the municipal parks of Cardiff, and well known as a pleasure-spot, for angling, boating, and for its waterfowl." Roath Park, in which. the lake is situated, is also noted for its recreational facilities and splendid botanical gardens, which include one of the finest rose gardens in Great Britain. An attraction of the lake up ...

Moraine-dammed lakes at debris-covered glaciers are becoming increasingly common and pose significant outburst flood hazards if the dam is breached. While moraine subsurface structure and internal processes are likely to influence dam stability, only few sites have so far been investigated. We conducted electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) surveys at two sites on the terminal moraine complex...

On May 12, 2008 a large earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, resulting in significant casualties and enormous property loss, and shocked the world. Then the Tangjiashan barrier lake caused by earthquake, made a serious threat to 1.3 million people living downstream. From its formation to being successfully disposed, the entire emergency management of Tangjiashan barrier lake lasted about a month. I...
