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 SP - 770 EP - 782 AU - Çelik, Kemal AD - KW - Chlorophyll-a KW - eutrophic reservoir KW - nutrients KW - water transparency UR - http://jifro.ir/article-1-1336-en.html ER -
