Thermal stratification occurred in the reservoir from May to September. The maximum chlorophyll-a concentrations were measured (using a YSI multi probe) in the fall and the minimu, SRP and NO3-N were significant among seasons (P0.01). The differences in the Secchi disk transparency were significant both among sampling stations and seasons (P %> http://jifro.ir/article-1-1336-en.pdf %P 770-782 %& 770 %! %9 Orginal research papers %L A-10-1272-38 %+ %G eng %@ 1562-2916 %[ 2013
