Description

The impact of cooling water discharges from a 800 MW thermal power plant on four small eutrophic lakes in central Poland is described. Surface water layers in one lake became 8-11 deg C higher than normal. Surprisingly, oxygen content increased, probably due to mechanical agitation of the cooling water. Primary production increased in the heated lake for most aquatic species. (E.C.B.)
