background: nowadays the eutrophication of water bodies is enhanced due to discharge of effluents and runoffs. therefore, there is a demand for the management of natural and artificial lakes to prevent or postpone this problem. lakes eutrophication is a complex process. therefore computerized models are very important tools to describe this process. although there are several models for this, b...

the current state of whitefish population and their organisms have been investigated in subarctic lake chuna exposed to long-term air pollution from copper-nickel industry. both annual and long-term heavy metals and acid oxides loads on the lake have been determined. a qualitative assessment has been made for water and bottom sediments. the investigation results have been compared with those of...

Remote sensing is increasingly used in studies of periodic changes of land use and landsurface temperature (LST) calculations. In this paper, the effect of change in the area ofMaharlu Lake on climatic elements, land surface temperature and vegetation cover in theareas surrounding the lake were studied. To this end, the ETM + & TM sensor data ofLANDSAT satellite on May 22, 1987, May 17, 2000, M...

â  lake urmia, the third hyper-saline lake in the world and because of its climatic, economic, social and ecological/environmental importance is a populated region in iran. recently, severe drought periods and low water levels are causing problems in this lake. therefore, it is urgent and desirable to evaluate urmia water level fluctuations in a scientific ways. urmia lake water level the same ...

the main aim of the present study was to map of urmia lake water surface diminishing rates over a long-term period, and demonstrating the most recent surface of emerged salty alluvial plains. for this purpose, landsat tm, etm+ and oli imageries, observing from 1984 to 2015, were progressively processed to generate most of the thematic models in tempo-spatial context. all multi-date satellite da...

Urmia Lake in northwestern Iran has been facing critical water level shrinkage in recent years with ‎serious environmental consequences. It is expected that with the current trend, the lake will be ‎completely dried out in a few years from now. This study attempts to assess the impacts of human ‎activities on water level fluctuations of Urmia Lake by developing a comprehensive hydrologic ‎simul...

Introduction The City of Austin’s Watershed Protection Department strives to protect the water quality in Austin area watersheds. Austin creeks have been monitored for years through the Environmental The Austin Lake Index (ALI) was designed to provide a yearly assessment of the environmental integrity of Lake Austin, Lady Bird Lake, and Lake Long. Sub-indices used to compute the ALI include rep...

Lake levels in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) provide valuable records for climate change studies. We use two decades of measurements (January 1993–December 2014) from the TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P)-family satellite altimeters (T/P, Jason-1 and -2) to detect lake level variations at 23 lakes along their repeat ground tracks every 10 days. We employ an optimal processing technique to obtain quality m...
