What Is Limnology?
The term limnology stems from Greek words limnos (lake) and logos (study). It is a subdiscipline of ecology that concerns the study of inland waters (both saline and fresh). These waters include lakes, ponds, rivers (both natural and manmade), and estuaries. Limnologists focus on understanding the biological, physical, chemical, and hydrological aspects of these waters.
