...l impact on the decisions that governments and individuals need to make, concerning the management of water resources and reserves. Most of these issues have as basic theme the water management, the control of water pollution, the protection of rivers and streams, the construction of artificial water areas and the enrichment of wildlife. For a complete understanding of a lake’s structure and comprehending of the nature of its procedures, we need to start from studying the history that lies behind the creation of a lake. The parameters that need to be taken under consideration for this cause are: 1. How the lake was created 2. Dimensions of surface and basin 3. Characteristics of the lake’s area climate 4. Topography and chemistry of inflows 5. Human impact on lake’s features The sediment of the lake can give the scientists a full detailed list of information on the history of the lake. The science that uses this method of investigation is named paleontology. People imagine lakes as homogeny – based water mass through all their depth, which is a completely – wrong angle of dealing with these systems. The truth lies long away from this popular viewpoint. Lakes are indeed very heterogeneous in aspects of biology, physics and chemistry features and procedures. Starting from light density, temperature, salinity, water flows and stretching it to living organisms, lakes show a pitched curve for most of the above variables. The differences in the values of these parameters ...
