Abstract

The lake as an ecosystem in which the link between the environmental characteristics of water and sediments is clearly evident through the methods of material exchange among  them, the impact is reflected on the type of living producing organisms that (such as algae, plant floats and submerged) that are present at the bottom of the lake, and consumers (float animals, fish and crustaceans) and others, as well as the non-living materials ( Water temperature, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, dissolved mineral salts, calcium carbonate and organic materials). The change in the feeding processes, the lack of water and dehydration cause changes in its properties, depth, flow rate, temperature, dissolved oxygen values, properties of precipitated contents and chemical elements, all of which are factors that negatively and dangerously affect the composition of its environment.
