This book opens up a new view of limnology for researchers and decision makers to consider overall land use across the catchment to find the real issues in which lakes are involved. Their support, encouragement, and constant assistance have sustained me throughout my lifeĪs an author, I am proud to introduce Applied Limnology, which addresses a new, comprehensive method of studying lake systems from watershed to open waters.

Muhammad Aqeel Ashraf Department of Geology University of Malaya Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Mohammadreza Gharibreza Soil Conservation and Watershed Management Research Institute Tehran, Iran Mohammadreza Gharibreza Muhammad Aqeel AshrafĪpplied Limnology Comprehensive View from Watershed to Lake This volume also offers an approach to sustainable land use with regard to natural resources conservation. Readers will learn of a decrease in the watershed supply of water to Bera Lake, of shoaling, degradation of water and sediment quality, and the extinction of several kinds of flora and fauna. The author examines the current and historic situation of contamination in sediments, presents an ecological risk assessment, and finally describes a master management plan, proposing practices to mitigate the environmental impacts of existing agricultural projects and practices to control future projects. The book highlights the technology and methods used to estimate both soil erosion rate and nutrient loss from the lake catchment, including an explanation of the measurement of the sedimentation rate in Bera Lake using 137Cs and 210Pb radioisotopes.
The chapters provide a comprehensive view of problems, risks and possible mitigation measures associated with this great natural habitat. This applied limnology study examines issues relating to land development including soil erosion and nutrient loss in the catchment area, severe pollution of water, sediment resources in open waters and wetlands, and reduction of aquatic and bird populations. A multidisciplinary study of Bera Lake in Malaysia is presented here, focusing on natural resources throughout the lake’s catchment area and assessing environmental impact.
