Hypolimnetic oxygenation is a relatively new management technique that avertshypolimnetic anoxia and its harmful consequences by oxygenating the hypolimnion usingpure oxygen gas. This paper discusses a number of issues related to hypolimneticoxygenation including advantages of hypolimnetic oxygenation systems over traditionalaeration methods (e.g., destratification, aeration). It also discusses facility requirementsand costs associated with various types of oxygenation systems, and the effects ofoxygenation on water quality. Includes 28 references, tables, figures.
