With a surface area of 17891 km\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e and a volume of 902 km\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e, the former is one of the top fifteen world’s freshwater lakes and is only slightly smaller than Lake Ontario. Lake Onego’s surface area is 9600 km\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e and it has a volume of 292 km\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e. The watershed of Lake Ladoga (258000 km\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e) extends through Northwestern European Russia and the eastern part of Finland, including the large Lakes Ilmen and Saimaa, and together these Great European Lakes are an important link in the Caspian-Baltic-White Sea waterway system. Their ecological state affects the water quality of the Neva River, the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea. Thus any changes affect the operational use, environmental protection and management of water resources of a wide area and concern such issues as drinking, recreation, transport and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anthropogenic impact on the Lake Onego ecosystem is mostly determined by the sewage waters of the Petrozavodsk and Kondopoga industrial centres, while the river inflow makes the most impact on Lake Ladoga. Although the anthropogenic stress on the water ecosystems of the Great European Lakes has decreased over the last 15 years, there has been some simultaneous evidence of global warming. There is not enough current data to identify the climate-induced changes in lake ecosystems, but there is proof that the main cause of lacustrine ecosystem changes is determined by anthropogenic factors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2009-10-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540681441\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-540-68145-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 242cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 308\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46915321561228,"sku":"9783540681441","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540681441.jpg?v=1774492947","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783540681441","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
