Water Resource Management through Understanding of the Water Balance Components: A Case Study of a Sub-Alpine Shallow Lake

Water availability is a crucial factor for the hydrological balance of sub-alpine shallow lakes and for their ecosystems. This is the first study on water balance and water management of Lake Candia, a small sub-alpine, shallow morainic lake. The aims of this paper are to better understand the link...
