“…According to those limits, the conductivity values determined in Çamlıgöze DamLake were at normal and low levels. Salinity refers to the total concentration of dissolved inorganic ions in water or soil and is therefore, a component of all natural waters (Williams and Sherwood, 1994;Canedo-Arguelles et al, 2013). Salinity is the concentration of salt in water, usually measured in parts per thousand (ppt).…”

The present study was carried out with the aim to assess of water quality using physico-chemical parameters of Çamlıgöze Dam Lake located at Central Anatolian region of Turkey. For this purpose, water samples were collected from surface and 10 m depth from two stations selected in Çamlıgöze Dam Lake. The physico-chemical parameters such as water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, oxygen saturation, conductivity, salinity, secchi disc depth, nitrate, nitrite, orto-phosphate, sulfate, chloride, total hardness, calcium and magnesium were analyzed in the water samples. By assessing the physico-chemical data according to the Turkish water pollution control regulation, the water quality classes of the chosen stations in Çamlıgöze Dam Lake were determined as class-I in respect to the pH, dissolved oxygen, oxygen saturation, nitrate, nitrite, sulfate and chloride. Water temperature, conductivity, salinity and orto-phosphate of Çamlıgöze Dam Lake were within desirable limits. Çamlıgöze Dam Lake could be classified as moderately hard in terms of total hardness. It was categorized as mesotrophic by secchi disc depth. Based on the values of the obtained physico-chemical parameters, it can be concluded that the Çamlıgöze Dam Lake water quality was good and did not show any significant pollution problem. The results obtained from the present study shall be useful in future management of the Çamlıgöze Dam Lake.

“…All salt lake water readings were off the scale: hence, they were serially diluted with distilled water and readings were made at the 199.9-mS/cm range. Water conductivity gave an indication of total salt concentration in grams per liter (64).…”

We used cultivation-independent methods to investigate the prokaryotic biogeography of the water column in six salt lakes in Inner Mongolia, China, and a salt lake in Argentina. These lakes had different salt compositions and pH values and were at variable geographic distances, on both local and intercontinental scales, which allowed us to explore the microbial community composition within the context of both contemporary environmental conditions and geographic distance. Fourteen 16S rRNA gene clone libraries were constructed, and over 200 16S rRNA gene sequences were obtained. These sequences were used to construct biotic similarity matrices, which were used in combination with environmental similarity matrices and a distance matrix in the Mantel test to discover which factors significantly influenced biotic similarity. We showed that archaeal biogeography was influenced by contemporary environmental factors alone (Na ؉ , CO 3 2؊ , and HCO 3 ؊ ion concentrations; pH; and temperature). Bacterial biogeography was influenced both by contemporary environmental factors (Na ؉ , Mg 2؉ , and HCO 3 ؊ ion concentrations and pH) and by geographic distance.

“…See the limnological features for the numbers of lakes (Kudoh and Tanabe 2014). Seawater electrical conductivity (e.g., Cox et al 1967;Lee et al 2006), salinity (e.g., Koblinsky et al 2003), and a variety of electrical conductivity measurements in hypersaline lakes (e.g., Williams and Sherwood 1994) are also given. The trends in the contents of some major elements indicate a marked transition from marine to lacustrine conditions in each of the cores (Figure 4a).…”

We report a 6,000 years record of subglacial weathering and biogeochemical processes in two perennially ice-covered glacial lakes at Rundvågshetta, on the Soya Coast of Lützow-Holm Bay, East Antarctica. The two lakes, Lake Maruwan Oike and Lake Maruwan-minami, are located in a channel that drains subglacial water from the base of the East Antarctic ice sheet. Greenish-grayish organic-rich laminations in sediment cores from the lakes indicate continuous primary production affected by the inflow of subglacial meltwater containing relict carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and other essential nutrients. Biogenic silica, amorphous hydrated silica, and DNA-based molecular signatures of sedimentary facies indicate that diatom assemblages are the dominant primary producers, supported by the input of inorganic silicon (Si) from the subglacial inflow. This study highlights the significance of subglacial water-rock interactions during physical and chemical weathering processes and the importance of such interactions for the supply of bioavailable nutrients.
