Talk:Limnology

Human impacts
Totally agree with Dr.kjf! Might be good to link to Clean Water Rule. Jst4 (talk) 13:55, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Sections for future improvement
Just a note for future editing efforts that it would be great to build in more details in the physical/chemical/biological sections. Biological text that enables us to link to zooplankton and phytoplankton pages, etc. would be a great start! I think we could all collectively also build in more details on anthropogenic impacts on inland waters... look forward to helping keep move this forward! dr.kjf (talk) 20:47, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Limnology is the study of all in-land bodies of water, which include not just fresh waters, but saline lakes as well.

Merge
I am deleting the merge template (with Freshwater biology), both because as the person noted above, that Limnology is not just about freshwater, but also because limnology is not just about biology, but is also about biological, physical, chemical, and hydrological aspects.

 * Agreed. When the textbooks all change their names, then we can consider merging. :-) Stan 13:26, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Division of hydrology?!
I'm a hydrologist. I have also worked with limnologists. I am very confident that none of the hydrologists and limnologists I know would consider limnology to be a division of hydrology. If it needs to be compartmentalised (which is debatable), it would be far more accurate to place it within ecology. While the environment is certainly a wet one, the subjects of interest tend to be organisms and biogeochemical cycling (ecology), not the amount and movement of water per se (hydrology). [NB. Biogeochemistry doesn't really include H2O as much as N, P, S, etc.] It would probably be more accurate to say hydrology and limnology are allied fields, and that limnology is generally the purview of ecologists.
