Otjikoto Lake is the smaller of only two permanent natural lakes in Namibia.It is a sinkhole lake that was created by a collapsing karst cave. [1] It is located 20 kilometres (12 mi) north-west of Tsumeb and only 100 meters from the main road B1.
The long-term solution for hard water problems is to add a water-softening system to your home. The system will remove heavy minerals from the water supply as it enters the interior plumbing by ...
Overall, he said precipitation for this water year (which started Oct. 1) is well below average over the Southwest. Many locations in the region have been near-record dry since October. Looking ahead
Warmer water in lakes, oceans, reservoirs and rivers can cause more eutrophication. This results in more frequent harmful algal blooms. [46]: 140 Higher temperatures cause problems for water bodies and aquatic ecosystems because warmer water contains less oxygen. [51] Permafrost thawing leads to an increased flux of contaminants.

Different kinds of Secchi disks. A marine style on the left and the freshwater version on the right. The Secchi depth is reached when the reflectance equals the intensity of light backscattered from the water. 1.7 divided into this depth in metres yields an attenuation coefficient (also called an extinction coefficient), for the available light averaged over the Secchi disk depth.
Scott governs one of the nation’s oldest water systems in the U.S. and recently led Baltimore through a short-lived emergency involving E. coli contamination in the city’s water.
Debris can deflect the water flow, changing the angle of attack and increasing local scour. Debris might also shift the entire channel around the bridge causing increased water flow and scour in another location. [3] The most frequently encountered bridge scour problems usually involve loose alluvial material that can be easily eroded. It ...
The pycnocline is the transitory region between a surface layer of water (warmer and less dense) and deeper layer of water (colder and more dense). Mixing occurs across the pycnocline, driven primarily by waves and shear. A pycnocline is the cline or layer where the density gradient ( ∂ρ / ∂z ) is greatest within
