In addition, water currents may be multi-directional and are much slower than in rivers. Moreover, wind has an important effect on the movement of the upper layers of lake and reservoir water.

Thermal stratifi-cation, or temperature layering, generally occurs in lakes and ponds greater than 5 meters (16.4 feet) in depth. Stratification occurs because water at different tempera-tures has different densities. The typical annual cycle of
