Study Notes
Lake Burullus Characteristics
- Had a surface area of approximately 600 km², but declined to around 460 km² by 1974 due to land reclamation for agriculture in its southern sector.
Importance of Lake Burullus
- Serves as an important wetland for waterfowl (water birds).
Threats to Lake Burullus
- Reclamation of land for agriculture, leading to habitat destruction.
- Overuse of fertilizers and pesticides.
- High levels of blue-green algae.
- Overfishing.
- Expansion of fish farming (hackers).
Water Quality in Lake Burullus
- Seasonal variations of dissolved oxygen levels were observed, with increases in late autumn and winter due to wind-driven water movement and decreasing water temperature.
- pH value plays a crucial role in life processes and reflects the pollution level of aquatic environments.
