Abstract

1 The most common type of pond in current use. 5 The clumping together of fine, dispersed organic particles by the action of certain bacteria and algae. 7 Broken stones, boulders, or other materials placed compactly or irregularly on levees or dikes for the protection of earth surfaces against the erosive action of waves. 8 Microscopic plants which contain chlorophyll and live floating or suspended in water. 9 The amost spontaneous mixing of all layers of water in a reservoir or lake when the water temperature becomes similar from top to bottom. 10 A small, green, cloverleaf-shaped floating plant, about one-quarter inch acress which appears as a grainy "scum" on the surface of a pond.
