Environmental effects of reservoirs / R.M. Baxter.: En36-540/15-1974E-PDF
"Until fairly recently, studies of the limnology and general ecology of reservoirs have been largely limited to matters of rather direct and immediate practical concern. If a reservoir erodes its banks rapidly, or if its volume is rapidly reduced by silting, its usefulness is obviously impaired. If the water in a reservoir is intended for irrigation, or for domestic or industrial use, the influence of impoundment on its quality becomes important. Such considerations have lead to a substantial amount of research in the physical and chemical limnology of reservoirs"--Page 2.
