Description
Summary:Lake Onega is the second largest lake in Europe after Lake Ladoga. This paper is a part of the project concerning a general plan of water protection, as expressed in the Water Framework Directive. The aim of this paper was to present an investigation of the status of Lake Onega and to present steady state and dynamic modelling approach in order to assess the impacts of different loading scenarios of water quality of Lake Onega. In the project more catchment and water quality models were used but in this paper these models were chosen. The presented steady state model was the mass balance model of Vollenweider and the dynamic model is the box-type model AQUATOX. While Lake Onega preserves a good status of water as a whole, the problems with pollution and eutrophication exist in Petrozavodsk and Kondopoga Bays where anthropogenic loading is more pronounced.
