Hypolimnetic Anoxia

Annual water residence time effects on thermal structure: A potential lake restoration measure?
A novel method to inhibit stratification by reducing residence times is proposed as a way of controlling the length of the hypolimnetic anoxic period, thus reducing the loading of nutrients from the sediments into the water column. We found that reducing annual water residence times shortened and weakened summer stratification.
