Reservoir Limnology: Ecological Perspectives

by Kent W. Thornton, Bruce L. Kimmel, Forrest E. Payne

Overview

Addresses reservoirs as unique ecological systems and presents research indicating that reservoirs fall into two or three highly concatenated, interactive ecological systems ranging from riverine to lacustrine or hybrid systems. Includes some controversial concepts about the limnology of reservoirs, which make for interesting reading.
