Location: oswego, il | OK, say you have a lake that depletes or becomes very low in oxygen over the wintertime. What exactly puts oxygen back into the lake? Generally weeds won't develope for a bit, so is it the melted ice? Rain? waves? What gives the water it's intitial boost of oxygen after the ice is out? |

| Wind. Wind.
If you are interested in O2 you should also note that the summer thermoclines in some lakes are deserts below that level. Currently(September 2nd) Cave Run has no 02 below 20-23 feet. Thats right, it shows zero oxygen from 25 feet down. It will take wind and cooling weather to remix it. In the meantime, it pens the fish up in the 76 to 80 degree water on top. |
