The atmospheric effects that influence on the signal registered by remote sensors might be
minimized in order to provide reliable spectral information. In aquatic systems, the …

The mechanistic model reported in Lee et al.(2015) estimating the Secchi disk depth (Z SD)
was applied to an oligo-to mesotrophic reservoir in Brazil. The model was originally …

Cascade reservoirs facilitate the effective use of water resources and help to alleviate
existing problems of water shortage in drought-prone regions. However, the geochemical …

Depending on the environmental conditions, surface sediments can retain all the

Dam construction leads to both sediment discontinuities and the creation of internal
phosphorus (P) loads in reservoirs capable of supporting eutrophication. Today, majority of …

Climate projections models indicate that longer periods of droughts are expected within the
next 100 years in various parts of South America. To understand the effects of longer periods …
