Cyclical water-level fluctuations of up to 12 m in Lake Windermere are a response to climatic variations with a period of several years. An approximate water balance indicates that groundwater seepage is the most significant component (84%) of the outflow from the lake, whereas surface streams are the most significant component (89%) of the inflow to the lake. Groundwater flows westwards from the lake through a highly permeable Pleistocene sand aquifer.

St Lawrence River

A dendrochronological analysis of three tree species colonizing a swamp along the St. Lawrence River was undertaken to (a) study the extent to which water-level fluctuations have an impact on tree growth in comparison to climatic variations; (b) compare the responses of three species (Acerrubrum L., Larixlaricina (Du Roi) K. Koch, and Thujaoccidentalis L.) with hydrologic and climatic variations; and (c) examine the duration of the influence of water-level fluctuations on tree growth. Tree cores from 78 stands were cross-dated and verified with COFECHA and a master chronology for each species was produced using ARSTAN. Response function analyses were used to measure the influence of climate (temperature and precipitation) and water level on tree growth. Water-level fluctuations have a significant influence on A. rubrum growth, accounting for 30% of the tree growth variation. A significant relationship exists between L. laricina and water-level fluctuations, but only 9% of the tree growth is explained by hydrology. No significant relationship was found between water levels and T. occidentalis growth. Climatic fluctuations are a more important influence on growth for all three species, accounting for 46% to 51% of the tree growth variation not explained by water levels.

Lake Water Balance

Managing lake water levels from an ecological perspective has become an urgent issue in recent years in efforts to protect, conserve, and restore lake eco-environments. In this study, we considered the actual situation of Ebinur Lake basin to develop a lake water balance model using a System Dynamics (SD) method. The objective of this study is based on the lake water balance model to sufficiently understand the variation and relationship between the lake depth–area–volume. We combined field investigations and hydrological data analysis to expose the major factors affecting lake water level fluctuations (WLFs), as well as the impact of WLFs on lake eco-environments. All with the aim of providing a theoretical basis to manage Ebinur Lake ecosystems for conservation and restoration. The main findings of this study include: (I) The model’s calculation results agree with the observation value, as the monthly lake surface area was used to validate the model. (II) The factors influencing the dynamic changes in the water level of the lake are ranked in ascending order (from the lowest to the highest) as follows: Precipitation, groundwater recharge, evaporation, river inflow. (III) Fluctuations in water level play a significant role in lake shoreline displacement variation, and when the lake’s water level drops below 1 m, the surface area of the water body decreases to approximately 106 km2. (IV) The magnitude and frequency of WLFs drive major differences in the ecology of lake littoral zones, influencing not only the structure and functioning of benthic assemblages but also littoral habitat structure. These results established a quantitative linkage between hydrological variables and ecosystem health for the Ebinur Lake wetlands. These findings could be widely used in managing the Ebinur Lake basin as well as other similar water bodies, and could provide a useful tool for managing lake ecosystems for conservation and restoration.

Water Level Monitoring

Monitoring water levels of lakes, streams, rivers and other water basins is of essential importance and is a popular measurement for a number of different industries and organisations. Remote water level monitoring helps to provide an early warning feature by sending advance alerts when the water level is increased (reaches a certain threshold). The purpose of this report is to present an affordable solution for measuring water levels in water sources using IoT and LPWAN. The assembled system enables recording of water level fluctuations in real time and storing the collected data on a remote database through LoRaWAN for further processing and analysis.
