Capitalization is used when an item is expected to be consumed over a long period of time. If a cost is capitalized, it is charged to expense over time through the use of amortization (for intangible assets) or depreciation (for tangible assets).
As water temperature rises, oxygen solubility decreases. On a cool summer night, a lakeâs temperature might be 60Â° F. At 100% air saturation, this lakeâs dissolved oxygen levels would be at 9.66 mg/L. When the sun rises and warms up the lake to 70Â° F, 100% air saturation should equate to 8.68 mg/L DO Â³.
Induced recharge: The recharge to an aquifer that occurs when a pumping well creates a cone of depression that lowers an adjacent water table below the level of a stream or lake, causing the stream or lake to lose water to the adjacent groundwater aquifer.
