T8107 Loading of biogens and dissolved organic matter (DOM) into Lake Võrtsjärv
According to the prognosis concurrently with global warming the rate of fluctuation in the runoff of rivers is increasing. In order to calculate the exact loading of different matters there is need to do extra analysis. It is not enough to consider only the monitoring data taken once per month. We sampled more frequently than were taken the monitoring samples, especially during the high-water-level time. Our investigation is the bases for prognosis of the P, N, Si, DOM loadings into the second biggest lake of Estonia along different hydrological conditions. The result of our investigation is a data base which concord with the monitoring data from the same sites. We passed the database to the Estonian Environment Information Centre of the Ministry of the Environment in October 2009.
