Environmental Aspects of Artificial Aeration and Oxygenation of Reservoirs: A Review of Theory, Techniques, and Experiences.

Abstract

Artificial circulation and hypolimnetic aeration have been used successfully in management of eutrophic reservoirs to alleviate water quality problems, control algal blooms, and improve fish habitat. this report includes: (a) a comprehensive review of aeration/circulation techniques and past experiences encompassing literature from January, 1972, through December, 1980; (b) statistical analyses of artificial circulation experiences to examine the causes of alternative responses to treatment; (c) a summary of morphometric and water quality data for 107 reservoirs by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and (d) a generic evaluation procedure for alternative management applications in reservoirs.
