Popis: Heat fluxes in dams affect the concentrations of dissolved oxygen and the liberation of potentially toxic elements (Fe, Mn, As and sulfides) from sediments. Sediments/water column heat exchange in dams traditionally is neglected by numerical models because it represents a few percent of heat exchange processes; however these exchanges become important in small reservoirs located at hilly areas. The present work attempts to focus on the importance of orographic shading in small dams (
