Detailed explanation-1: -Limnology is the study of the structural and functional interrelationships of organisms of inland waters as they are affected by their dynamic physical, chemical, and biotic environments.

Detailed explanation-2: -Limnology is the study of inland waters-lakes (both freshwater and saline), reservoirs, rivers, streams, wetlands, and groundwater-as ecological systems interacting with their drainage basins and the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -The study of limnology includes aspects of the biological, chemical, physical, and geological characteristics of fresh and saline, natural and man-made bodies of water. This includes the study of lakes, reservoirs, ponds, rivers, springs, streams, wetlands, and groundwater.

Detailed explanation-4: -The study of relationship between living organisms and the fresh water environment constitutes the freshwater ecology. The study of physical, chemical, geological and biological aspects of freshwaters is called limnology.

Detailed explanation-5: -Limnology is concerned with both natural and man-made lakes, their physical characteristics, ecology, chemical characteristics, internal energy fluxes, and exchanges with the environment. It often includes the ecology and biogeochemistry of flowing freshwaters. The study of former lakes is known as paleolimnology.
