Lindorm for ENEE, IAEA - Lago Yojoa, Honduras - Case Study

Description: A SediMeter™ instrument and temperature sensors were deployed in Lago Yojoa to measure sediment resuspension during the annual fall mixing event which frequently causes anoxia and fish death. The normally oligotrophic lake is now used for fish farming. Unfortunately theft of hardware by local boaters sabotaged the project repeatedly, and while a stolen cable was replaced by ...

Automated Optimized TOC using PeCOD Technology

Almost half of the population of Ontario relies on Lake Ontario for their drinking water. Source water from the great lake must be monitored and protected constantly to ensure chemical and biological agents remain below the accepted limits. Despite best efforts, it is possible that natural organic matter (NOM) can still exist in our drinking water. General methods of determining NOM are by ...

Meltwater flow through a rapidly deglaciating glacier and foreland catchment system: Virkisjökull, SE Iceland

Virkisjökull is a rapidly retreating glacier in south-east Iceland. A proglacial lake has formed in the last ten years underlain by buried ice. In this study we estimate water velocities through the glacier, proglacial foreland and proglacial river using tracer tests and continuous meltwater flow measurements. Tracer testing from a glacial moulin to the glacier outlet in September 2013 ...

Global study of lakes enhances understanding of hydrological cycle

We now have much more robust data available on the amount of water in lakes worldwide thanks to a comprehensive database created by researchers at McGill University in Montreal. The McGill scientists discovered the total shoreline of the world’s lakes is more than four times longer than the global ocean coastline. At 7 million kilometers, this is 10 times the distance from the Earth to the ...

Investigation into mixing in the shallow floodplain Poyang Lake (China) using hydrological, thermal and isotopic evidence

Although mixing in lakes has significant environmental and ecological implications, knowledge of mixing dynamics for shallow floodplain lakes has received little attention. In this study, hydrological, thermal and isotopic investigations were undertaken to provide evidence for the mixing in the large, shallow floodplain Poyang Lake (China). Depth profiles of water velocity, water temperature ...

Nutrient load concept-reservoir vs. bay impacts: a case study from a semi-arid watershed

Large flow-through reservoirs and lakes possess environmental gradients and monitoring programs are mostly adapted for cost and time effectiveness. Bay areas are often more isolated from the main water body and are likely to have unobserved different environmental processes and impacts. This study was performed at the Itaparica Reservoir, São Francisco River, located in semi-arid Northeast ...

How & When We Measure Turbidity

Turbidity, along with Suspended Solids, is a way of measuring the clarity of a body of water, and how many particles are affecting it. The difference is that while Suspended Solids describes the density of the materials in the water, Turbidity describes how those materials affect light passing through the water. Turbid water can appear cloudy and discoloured because the more particles in the ...
