Fig. 8.6 Simulated impacts of the curtain installed near the bathing area of the lake Paprocany:
(A) a negative impact of the curtain and (B) a positive impact
water differs from the quality in the lake. In the case of the inflow of polluted water,
the curtain will protect the bathing area until the water is mixed by wind (Fig. 8.6).
On the other hand, when inflows are of good quality, the curtain can slow down the
improvement of the water quality in the bathing area (limited dilution, limited oxygen
input, higher temperature). Such events accompanied by no wind or south/east winds
only can lead to water stagnation and conditions favourable to algal blooms and other
adverse effects. Taking into consideration the results of simulations, it was suggested,
