Question

Give five differences between the natural lakes and man made lakes. Plz anwer fast. I will mark as brainlist. Plz urgent

Answer 1

Natural lakes tend to be located at the headwaters of rivers or streams, whereas man-made lakes tend to be closer to the mouth of the river or stream. Natural lakes therefore tend to have lower nutrient and sediment concentrations than those in man-made systems. The water levels in natural lakes are fairly constant, while those in reservoirs are typically managed for flood control, hydropower production, and/or navigation. Reservoirs frequently release water from the bottom of the dam pool, which contains little dissolved oxygen; this may cause problems with water quality downstream. Natural lakes, in contrast, typically release well-aerated surface waters
Man-made lakes formed by river impoundment typically have hydrodynamic characteristics that are very different from natural lakes, consisting of riverine (riverlike), transitional, and lacustrine (lakelike) zones in the reservoir. Lakes created for hydropower generation may have additional variations in hydrodynamic characteristics caused by the flow created by the power-generating turbines, or by the pumping system for hydropower generation.
