Eutrophication Mitigation for Freshwater Pond Systems
Eutrophication is a complex ecological process that occurs in freshwater ecosystems, causing nutrient accumulation and significant changes in the water environment.
This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the subject of mitigating eutrophication in freshwater ponds. It covers various aspects, such as techniques for managing nutrient levels, the impact on fish and aquatic organisms, sedimentation, effective aeration and water circulation. Additionally, the course includes sections on assessing and diagnosing pond conditions, proper monitoring of pond systems, complying with regulations and permits, and other considerations related to regulatory compliance.
This 12 PDH online course is applicable to civil and environmental engineers as well as other professionals working in the fields of freshwater pond management, environmental conservation, and ecological restoration.
