Aquatic ecology is the study of the functional relationships and productivity of organisms and communities of waters as regulated by the complex interactions of their physical, chemical, and biotic environment. Research at the WATER Institute focuses on limnology, which encompasses all inland aquatic environments, including streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and wetlands.
