Journal ArticleDOI
Lake Brienz Project: An interdisciplinary catchment-to-lake study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the downstream effects of dams and reservoirs on fish decline and hydropower in the Lake Brienz watershed, including oligotrophic and turbid lakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimizing turbine withdrawal from a tropical reservoir for improved water quality in downstream wetlands
Manuel J. Kunz,Manuel J. Kunz,David B. Senn,David B. Senn,Bernhard Wehrli,Bernhard Wehrli,Elenestina M. Mwelwa,Alfred Wüest,Alfred Wüest +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a biogeochemical 1-D model simulating reservoir-internal processes and water quality in the outflow for estimating dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations and inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus loads.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased sediment oxygen flux in lakes and reservoirs: The impact of hypolimnetic oxygenation
Kevin A. Bierlein,Maryam Rezvani,Scott A. Socolofsky,Lee D. Bryant,Alfred Wüest,Alfred Wüest,John C. Little +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the impact of oxygenation on sediment oxygen flux (JO2) and turbulence in the bottom boundary layer of two oxygenated lakes and determine which models adequately predict JO2 in both lakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drivers of deep-water renewal events observed over 13 years in the South Basin of Lake Baikal
Chrysanthi Tsimitri,Chrysanthi Tsimitri,Burkhardt Rockel,Alfred Wüest,Alfred Wüest,N. M. Budnev,Michael Sturm,Martin Schmid +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate a series of intrusion events that reached the bottom of Lake Baikal in terms of the stratification and the wind conditions under which they occurred and provide a new insight into the triggering mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Lake–Reservoir Pumped-Storage Operations on Temperature and Water Quality
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the importance of water exchange between two connected water bodies and deep water withdrawal from the upper water body in the context of recommissioning a pumped-storage (PS) hydropower plant.
