Name: E – 2061 Eutrophic Mitigation for Freshwater Pond Systems
Price: 200 USD

Intended Audience: Civil, Environmental, Ecological, Geotechnical, and Water Resources Engineers.

PDH UNITS: 8

Eutrophication is a complex ecological phenomenon that occurs in freshwater ecosystems, primarily in ponds, lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. It is characterized by an excessive accumulation of nutrients, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus, in the water, leading to profound changes in the aquatic environment. This course provides a general overview on the topic of freshwater pond eutrophic mitigation measures. Topics included are management methods for nutrient control, fish and aquatic life, sedimentation, proper aeration and water circulation. Also sections on pond assessment and diagnostics, as well as proper pond system monitoring, permitting, and other regulatory compliance concerns.
