What does «limnología» mean in Spanish?
- The science that studies all physical and biological phenomena related to lakes, lagoons, rivers, ponds, marshes and estuaries; very important for the management and conservation of aquatic environments. It is now considered a branch of ecology, but at first the term limnology was applied only to the study of lakes and inland water bodies. In 1922 the International Association of Limnology also included epicontinental waters.
