Abstract:The existence of stable thermal stratification in a reservoir during the summer alters appreciably the conditions under which its oxygen regime is formed, since the thermocline prevents diffusion of oxygen supplied to the body from the atmosphere and during photosynthesis of algae, and from the epilimnion to the hypolimnion. As a result, water supersaturated with oxygen may be observed in the epilimnion, and, conversely, an oxygen deficit in the hypolimnion. In the near-bottom layers, its content may be dimini… Show more

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
