    Abstract: This study aims to study the suitability of using algae for water desalination as a new conceptual technique using algae ponds under the nature circumstances. A pilot unit consisted of three serial basins each divided to three parallel basins was erected outdoor in open area to be under natural climatic conditions. The algae were prepared in the la...

    Abstract: Dissolved methane concentrations (DM) at twelve major lakes in Hokkaido, the northernmost island in Japan were observed in the open water season during 2006 ~ 2009 to estimate diffusive flux from lake surfaces to the atmosphere. An inverse relationship between lake size and DM was obtained in lakes in Hokkaido as was found for the European boreal l... Show More
