Full Description
The Pan American Center for Sanitary Engineering and Environmental Sciences (CEPIS), a specialized Center of the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), has conducted a Regional Program since 1981 for the development of simplified methodologies for the evaluation of eutrophication in warm-water tropical lakes/reservoirs of Latin America and the Caribbean. The majority of the regional lakes/reservoirs appear to be phosphorus limited. A warm-water tropical lake trophic state classification system and a simplified total phosphorus model have been developed with regional data, and successfully verified against the data of other lakes/reservoirs of the African continent. The use of the phosphorus model as a predictive tool in the management and planning of water resources is discussed. An in-depth presentation is available in Salas Product Details
