Abstract

Urban lakes are large water bodies that provide several ecosystem services in cities. Hence, urban lakes are highly vulnerable to human influences. The paper aimed to highlight spatial and temporal variability of dissolved organic matter in three urban lakes using a state of the art optoelectronic technique, and to establish a relationship between fluorescent dissolved organic matter and water quality parameters. Water quality was monitored using standard methods and fluorescence indices. The results present high relevance for improving water quality management in urban areas, which become a critical components in addressing urban resilience and sustainability..
