Book excerpt: As revealed in the subtitle, this book is comprised of three parts. Part I, the Present, shows the diverse beauty of Lake Waramaug in the four seasons as seen in thirty-five paintings of the same scene, executed under different conditions over two years. All but two of the works (both are nocturnes) were painted on location and many were executed in the artist's Portable Sketching Capsule during frigid or inclement weather. Each painting tells its own story and is accompanied by selected observations made in the artist's log book during the painting process. Part II, the Past, is a fascinating long-view of the Lake's history. It is humbling to see the present in the larger perspective of the past that (a) goes back to the Lake's probable beginning eons ago when continents collided and then (b) fast forwards through the Ice Ages that sculpted the Lake, the Five Mass Extinctions which killed off over 75% of all species living on Earth at that those times and, finally, (c) relates the retreat of the current Ice Sheet from Connecticut, the return of flora and fauna and the arrival of humans - first the Native Americans and then European settlers. Although Lake Waramaug is the special place we have come to know and love, the threat of the Sixth Mass Extinction looms. Finally, Part III, the Future, reviews the noble efforts and successes in recent decades by farsighted leading individuals and organizations to preserve and protect the Lake and this part of the country so future generations of all life forms will survive and continue to enjoy them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lake and Reservoir Restoration deals with the eutrophication process and the methods to protect, restore, and manage lakes and reservoirs. The most common in-lake techniques or procedures, plus nutrient diversion, are reviewed with regard to their scientific basis, methods of application, known effectiveness, feasibility, drawbacks, and costs. Areas for further research and development are also highlighted. This book is comprised of 16 chapters organized into four sections. After an introduction to the theory of the problem and the restoration technique, the discussion turns to the various restoration methods such as those used for physical and chemical control of nutrients. Diversion and advanced waste treatment, hypolimnetic withdrawal, and dilution and flushing are considered along with phosphorus precipitation and inactivation, sediment oxidation, sediment removal, and hypolimnetic aeration. Case studies and success stories are presented and the costs and potential negative impacts of the methods are examined. The following chapters focus on methods to control plant biomass, including artificial circulation, water-level drawdown, harvesting, biological control, and surface and sediment covers. A chapter on liming acidified lakes concludes this text. This monograph will be useful to professional limnologists and engineers, on-site lake or reservoir managers, and those who are interested in learning about the problems and management of lakes and reservoirs.
