Although called a sea, it is actually a saline lake that occupies the southern end of the Caspian Depression, an area of lowland that straddles the Europe-Asia boundary in Russia and neighbouring Kazakhstan.
Lake Baikal is the world’s deepest and oldest freshwater lake, with a maximum depth of 1,637 m (5,371 ft); it is estimated to be about 20 million years old, compared with the 20,000 years of most freshwater lakes.
The lake is one of three natural World Heritage sites recently established in Russia—the others being the Virgin Komi Forest in the Ural Mountains (listed 1995) and the Kamchatka Peninsula (1996)—and the government is seeking to have more sites included on the list as part of environmental protection efforts.

Each of these lakes occupies a land depression; rivers drain into the lakes, but because of the dry climate the deep basins do not fill up with water and overflow into the sea.
Lake Baykal is the deepest freshwater lake in the world, with a maximum depth of 1741 m (5712 ft), and has a greater volume of water (about 23,000 cu km/5520 cu mi) than any other lake in the world; it is estimated that the lake contains about one-fifth of the earth’s fresh surface water.
It is also found in the North Caucasian Plain and the Kura Lowland in the E Transcaucasus, and in the foothills of most of the S mountains, where 250 to 500 mm (10 to 20 in) of rain during late winter and spring provide enough moisture for cultivating some crops without irrigation.

The results of species growth in an artificial algocoenosis were estimated by their partial contributions to the total abundance or biomass of the community when the stationary phase of growth had been achieved by all species of the polyculture.
In some of the lakes under study this ratio was increased due to the removal of phosphorusabundant sewage; herewith the fraction of green and diatomic, non-nitrogen-fixing algae also increased.
Studies in the Soyang lake in Korea, where the role of cyanobacteria increased after a gradual phosphorus concentration increase in 1984-1989 (with a high content of nitrogen) and the corresponding decrease of the N:P ratio from 100 to 50, led to a similar conclusion (Cho et al.

Reservoirs possess three distinct zones: the riverine zone, which is directly impacted from the primary sources and is often light limited; the lacustrine zone, which is similar to lakes and is affected by internal nutrient loading; and the transitional zone, which may be impacted from external and internal sources (14).
Spates increase the importance of advective velocity and decrease that of dispersion (41).
However, Schindler (8) suggested that lakes and reservoirs that have received high nutrient loads for a considerable length of time slowly recover once nutrient inputs are decreased due to the future release of nutrients from saturated sediments.

The three main components of our research were: remote-sensing to study limnological environmental dynamics; the use of lakes as test sites to verify remote-sensing techniques and, finally, consideration of lakes as natural simulation models to study similar processes in seas and oceans.
Through the development of limnological remote-sensing techniques we tried to determine various parameters such as water-surface temperature and state, snow- and ice-cover properties, etc. Our main efforts, however, were directed at understanding the basic properties of natural waters such as phytoplankton, suspended matter and dissolved organic matter concentrations.
On the basis of numerical simulation modelling and field observations, techniques were developed for the measurements of water-surface brightness and water fluorescence.
