Abstract

Paliastomi lake is a small lake near the city Poti (Georgia), connected to the Black Sea by a narrow channel. Its surface area is 17.3 km2 and the depth is 2.6 m. The lake is included within the boundaries of the kolkheti National Park. Redox conditions in lakes generally are determined by the balance between the decomposition of organic matter and the supply of oxygen by circulation or vertical mixing of the water. The circulation in lakes is largely controlled by density differences, which are generally a consequence of temperature difference. That's why temperature and oxygen were also investigated. The chapter will present the results of a study of redox reactions taking place in the lake. The study is conducted by analyzing the results obtained by measuring special sensors. The chapter will discuss how this process affects the Black Sea coastline and the local flora and fauna of the lake.
