Abstract:
Kelbra Reservoir is a shallow lowland reservoir (approx. 35 Mio. m³ volume; max. depth 5,5 m, mean depth 3.5 m; surface area 600 ha), which was constructed 1962-1966 for flood protection for the downstream reaches of the river “Helme” and came into operation 1969. It is also used for irrigation and recreational purposes. Until the beginning of the 1990s, the production of carp was also initiated and played an important role (Ziemann 1986). Immediately after commissioning, the reservoir became an important resting place for diverse migrating birds (Görner et al. 1983; Scheuer 2003). In the last 30 years, cranes, during their migration from Scandinavia to Africa, occurred in high numbers (up to 10,000 individuals; Höpfner 2003; Scheuer et al. 2019) so that bird protection measures became a vital component of the reservoir management. During winter, the reservoir is emptied to have its full capacity for flood protection. The highest floods occur in river “Helme” typically from December through March (LHW 2016).
Kelbra Reservoir has been highly eutrophic from the very beginning (Ziemann 1986) until now although waste water treatment was improved and carp production was stopped in the 1990s. Still, external and internal phosphorus loading is at a high level. Due to very high total phosphorous concentrations cyanobacterial blooms appear regularly in summer time and the trophic state can be characterized to be hypertrophic.
This publication series includes datasets collected on Kelbra Reservoir during the Inland Water Remote Sensing Validation Campaign 2017 (Bumberger et al. 2023).
