Measurements of sediment oxygen demand (SOD)"in-situ" measuring chamber and its application for the stream water quality modeling and aquaculture management

Sediment oxygen demand is defined as the rate of dissolved oxygen removal from the water column by the decomposition of organic materials in the bottom sediments. Accurate SOD rates are important, as they will allow for more precise permits specifications and therefore the degree or level of wastewa...
