All empirical regressions were highly significant ( p < 0.0001) and, with exception of some correlations for reservoirs, explained a large fraction ( r 2 > 0.6) of the variability. The analysis showed that overall patterns in natural systems can be represented by cones or troughs with near-...
Waterbodies (natural lakes and reservoirs) are a critical part of a watershed’s ecological and hydrological balance, and in many cases dictate the downstream river flows either through natural attenuation or through managed controls. Investigating waterbody dynamics relies primarily on understanding their...
Lakes serve as recipients, regulators, reactors, and storages in the global carbon cycle1,2. Globally, inland waters receive 2.9–5.1 Tg C yr−1 from terrestrial ecosystems1,3; lakes and reservoirs bury 0.06–0.25 Mt C yr−1 into the sediment4; and lakes and reservo...
This can be explained trough the clogging of the reservoirs or through the pollution caused by human activities in the hydrographic basin.Ionu?

A higher trophic status of any lake is connected with higher phytoplankton productivity; therefore, lakes and reservoirs often show variations of microbial communities connected with phytoplankton productivity (49, 50). Specifically, the connection of bacterial communities with changes in phytoplankton has ...
Artificial: A lake created by flooding land behind a dam, called an impoundment or reservoir; by deliberate human excavation; or by the flooding of an excavation incident to a mineral-extraction operation such as an open pit mine or quarry. Some of the world's largest lakes are reservoirs. ...
issue from them or flow into them; notable examples areLake Baikal, associated with the Angara River;Lake Khanka(the Song’acha and Ussuri rivers);Dongting LakeandLake Poyang(the Yangtze River); andTonle Sap(the Mekong). Large reservoirs have also been created by constructing hydroelectric ...
When mountain snow melts in the spring and summer, water from the snowpack flows down into streams and reservoirs below. If it snows less than usual, or warm temperatures melt snow before it can build up, it means less water is available during the hot months. This can be detrimental to ...
“reservoirs” hereafter). For each lake and each month, the evaporation volume (VE) was calculated as a function of the evaporation rate (Elake), the lake surface area (As), and the fraction of ice duration (fd,ice). In particular, the heat storage changes for lakes—which have been ...
