About this book

If the trends of the late 20th century continue, most climatologists agree that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will have doubled by 2050. This increase in CO2 will have a major effect on the global climate and substantially alter the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of lakes throughout the world.

A number of studies have considered the impact of climate change on water resources, but many have a national focus and are primarily concerned with changes in water quantity rather than quality. In recent years a number of workers have demonstrated that year-to-year changes in the weather have a profound impact on the seasonal dynamics of lakes. Management of Lakes and Reservoirs during Global Climate Change highlights some of the mechanisms involved and assesses the likely qualitative impact of changes in the weather.
