ABSTRACT Intermittent artificial aeration was initiated in Little Bass Reservoir in the summer of 1981–82 with the goal of solving water quality problems including unpleasant tastes and odors, high levels of iron and manganese, poor bacteriological quality and regular summer blue-green algal blooms. Monitoring was carried out for the next 12 years to evaluate changes in water quality. With the initial operation, consisting of manual aeration applied only in summer months, stratification control was not consistent and blue-green algal blooms continued. However, since 1985 more consistent control over stratification has been achieved by applying year-round automatic aeration triggered by the intermittent stratification conditions in the reservoir, and no blooms of blue-green algae have been experienced for the past 7 years. A logical explanation for this experience, which has been reproduced by the author in many other Australian lakes and reservoirs, is that by introducing year-round automatic aeration, th...
