Introduction Lake Tahoe resides in a high elevation basin separated from the Sacramento Valley by the dominant Sierra Nevada divide along the Crystal Range. Lower ridges of the Carson Range to the east separate the lake from the Great Basin. These physical attributes define atmospheric processes in the Tahoe basin as much as define hydrological processes. The presence of the cold lake at the bo...

After significant reductions in external phosphorus (P) loads, and subsequent water quality improvements in the early 1980s, the water quality of Lake Erie has declined considerably over the past decade. The frequency and magnitude of harmful algal blooms (primarily in the western basin) and the extent of hypoxic bottom waters in the central basin have increased. The decline in ecosystem health...

The Manneans appeared in the early 9th century B.C cuneiform records, and sure there were existed before, they perhaps originated from Hurrians Kassites of second millennium, spread a vast area south, southeast southwest Urmia lake, its really border is not known yet, but general basin was their homeland. Their capital city located near modern Bokan south had numbers federal regions, each regio...

New accelerator mass spectrometer radiocarbon ages from gastropods in shore deposits within the pluvial Lake Chewaucan basin, combined with stratigraphical and geomorphological evidence, identify an abrupt rise and fall of lake level at ca. 12 14C ka. The lake-level high is coeval with lake-level lows in the well-dated records of palaeolakes Bonneville and Lahontan, and with a period of relativ...

The conservation of lakes is an essential issue in sustainable development. Disruption of ecological balance, destruction of biodiversity and vegetation, desertification, and storm surges are the results of lakes drying. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an integrated bi-objective sustainable water resource management model. The first objective function deals with economically optimal a...
