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.
Back on our own lower Deschutes River, the site of two salmon fish kills, water temperatures are dropping. We would like to acknowledge the release of cold water from Lake Billy Chinook by the dam operators at the Pelton-Round Butte Dam Complex.
